I completely fell into this game. I really liked the first one but never finished it due to the PS3 having harddrive issues twice at the exact same point - now I'm playing on the 360 just to be safe - which did frustrate me with the opening but it's to be expected. 
Controls still need to be worked at and I've found that Ezio will fly in much more random and frustrating directions than Altair, fly being the key word, and leaving me to think "how the heck did he survive that?!" Despite reassuring myself that his boots have padding and/or armour I still couldn't believe some of the heights he fell and walked away from with barely a scratch. 
AC2 is one of those games that are great if you want a laugh with some friends and you can pass the controller to each other no matter how experienced as you'll all be laughing at each others demise but is also one you can play with great seriousness. 
 
I recommend giving it a go but maybe a rent if you don't think you'll play it more than necessary as all the 360 achievements are really easy to get.

One of my all-time favorite games on the X-Box 360.

Wow. 9 Years ago. Almost a decade and it is still one of the best in the series. Crazy to watch this knowing where the series goes.
