Played both. In almost every area AC2 surpassed its predecessor. As for Brotherhood, I much prefer single-player gaming, so I'll probably just wait until AC3.

Ooh! I got that one! Just starting playing for the first time a few days ago

Isn't it awesome?

Yep! Don't know when I'll finish the first one, got pulled into Minecraft and haven't gone back yet. But I hear the 2nd is much better, so I want to get to that one at some point.

Haven't finished the second one yet, but I can already tell that the second one is better. I agree, single-player gaming is where it's at. I'd like to see what the next setting will be for AC3. They're getting closer and closer to Desmond's own adventure.

So, were we lying about how great it is? Was it better than Episode 1?
I wasn't thrilled that we had to put the and the right together like that, but it couldn't be helped.
And now begins the ing waiting for Episode 3.

It was much better than Episode 1 - and I really liked Episode 1, too! Episode 2 walked the line between classic Sierra adventure and modern drama/tension perfectly. It felt both classic and innovative at the same time.

How great? SO great. Allow me to demonstrate.

Voice acting: all the important characters had unquestionably great voice actors.
Improved walking/running: Speaks for itself. Well done, team.
Pathfinding: Nearly 100% successful.
etc.

Are you Allowed to Post Screens and talk More about Ep2  

Has anybody noticed that in the Old Trailer, valanice stands by the Window with Long Hair and Graham flips her around, then she lays on the Bed with Long Hair aswell while Graham is talking about Himself, now in the New Trailer, she has her Hair Tied Up. Its Much Better now and more Natural, so why tie up the Hair.

[maharg]

I think there are two valanices or one is past and present or dream and real.

[daventry]

No i mean right when the Dog Guard is telling Graham to come with him its his Wife, Graham goes up the stairs and sees his Wife at the Window.

Old Trailer: Long Hair.
New Trailer: Tied Up Hair

Theres also a difference on her Face, she looks Crazy now 

[mfortunato]

You'll have to play the game to find out what's going on with Valanice .

However, the reason her hair is up with just some wisps of hair coming out and not fully down is because the model with the hair down was just a mess.  The hair never looked natural and it was too much work to animate the hair to move and flow.  It was constantly cutting through her dress as she moved and it just looked awful.  This was a way to still make it look frazzled but was much easier for us to work with .  Sometimes you just don't have the time during development and you have to come up with some alternatives.  This actually ended up working even better than her hair being down.

Cool and i agree

So glad you liked it Doon!!

It's pretty much a given that any time you see a computer animated woman with really short hair or her hair up at least some part of the decision there was the fact that it's WAY less of a hassle for animation purposes.

Plus, it looks fancier. A Queen must look her best, even when she's psychologically unstable.

When will it realease in Australia, will it be Saturday???

When will it realease in Australia, will it be Saturday???

The launch is worldwide simultaneously. The timezone will differ, but the game will launch worldwide at the same time. It's best to check your exact timezone. I suggest using a timezone converter (just do a google search and you'll find plenty)
