I am slightly disappoint. I wanted more stealth in it :| You're STILL an unstoppable killing machine ala Altair, you're just messier and more brutal than that trained emotionless Third Crusade era Darth Vader, I found it very easy even when taking the direct approach in some of the riskier situations. Maybe I'm just too good...? Well, at least they gave you the option.
Anyways, one of the other things that disappointed me was just how easy it was to make money, especially by using the villa. I was excited at all the new additions, though, including the wide range of weapons and the secret indoor areas (reminded me of Prince Of Persia and gave a nice sense of nostalgia) and character development was much more detailed for all the characters but especially Ezio.
Overall, GREAT A++ EXPERIENCE, the only minor mistakes I could see was keeping in the beggars (via the guitar players) and while the story was a bit "Eh?" at times, it unfolded pretty nicely and was much better thought out than AC 1's.
All in all, it has done what it was supposed to, so I'm satisfied.
And some people were talking about what versions to get- the console versions are always, ALWAYS, better optimized, so unless you have some kind of super gaming rig (ala 8+ GB of RAM and some serious processing speed, and a very good video card), get the console version. Although, playing it with reduced graphics on the PC might be worth it in the long run, because of all the mods that will inevitably come out. I'm not sure if there has been any DLC announced for the PS3/360 versions, though.
EDIT: Another thing I forgot to mention is that the AI is still rather annoying. Sure, sure, they check haystacks and look at you closely when you sit on a bench, but it's a barely improved version of AC 1's, and most of the time they STILL stand around like braindead turkeys when you're fighting.
