PCGames writes: "Among other new screenshots of Assassin's Creed 2, we present to you on Saturday a graphics comparison of a somewhat different nature: Even if the main actors, Ezio and Altair come along almost identical visually, we let the two heroes from Assassin's Creed and Assassin's Creed 2 go against each other."

I wish that they made a super-hero game instead. I really didn't like the fighting mechanism in AC

Really? I loved the fighting mechanics in Asassin's Creed. They were innovative and actually allowed you to perform precise fighting movements and counters that looked realistic, unlike the silly random hack and slash of most games.

1.2 - Ezio for the WIN
He looks so badass, I didnt think Altair could be one upped, but it happened. The combat was good, but I hop they can make the combat a little more fluid and fast paced, rather than the turn taking system that it was.

Ezio has a cape, so he automatically wins. He also works with Leonardo DeVinci and he's one of my heroes.

at least Ezio has an accent in tune with the region its set, Altair had an American accent, which ruined the atmosphere a little for me, still i enjoyed the first and will most definitely pickup the second.

1.5 - idk SaberEdge, I just didn't get into AC fighting system. I thought that it would be more like POP
But it's different. Climbing is cool, the objectives are so so boring. I just needed a lot more.

As long as it's not as repetitive as the first one I'm in.

I agree, Ezio looks cooler what with the cape, but what really did it for me was when he used dual hidden blades to kill two guys a once.

Ezio is much cooler, he's got a cooler sounding name (it's just fun to pronounce) he has a cape because he thinks he's a superhero, he dresses with a little more style because he loves the ladies, and he has two hidden blades, knows how to swim, and disarm his opponents. Oh, and he has an accent.
Case closed, Ezio Auditore deFirenze wins.

personally, I like Altair better. 1) because I've grown fond of him (which may be why I don't like Ezio) 2) I like Altair's name better 3) Ezio may have all the cool weapons and junk, but I think an assassain looks 10 times more bad ass if he can do more stuff with less equipment, kinda just says "hey, I don't need this junk, one blade will be good enough for me"

Something tells me they are both the same guy :P
Just from a different time period/generation

Youl probably be the same guy again in the future/modern time, this time following an assassin from a different time ?

Altair was such a cool character, but honestly Ezio (pronounced etsio) looks even cooler still. For one thing, Ezio seems to have a deeper personality than Altair did and he dresses better :)

Oh and he also speaks with an Italian accent, unlike Altair who simply spoke basic English like Desmond instead of Arabic.

I can't wait for the new game.

Definitely Ezio, because he looks like he will have a personality unlike Altair. Altair was basically the generic bald hero that was set in the wrong time period. With zero accents, he should have just said: There's no place like America. There's no place like America. There's no place like America.

I preferred Altair, but Ezio's abilities are obviously better.

Actually I think Snake as Altair in MGS4 is my favorite.

If Altair could fly, would all the haystacks still be scattered all over the place ? :)

Yes, because he would dive into one, then alert some random guard and grab him and silently kill him inside the hay :P

Then again, if Altair could fly, I would just terrorize the people thinking im a demon/alien hehe. The Renaissance people already freak out once he flies, imagine their reactions during the Crusades.

I think it would be something like this:

He was a master Assassin, but Ezio is still awesome. That's why I'll say both are equally awesome.

Assassins creed 3 should reveal that you have actually been playing as past versions of Jason Bourne :P

we'll see when we play the game. Can't judge just from looking at them you need to know their personality and what type of character they are.
