Anyone else really looking forward to AC2?

I liked the first one, but I felt halfway through I knew the game and how it was going to play out. The twist at the end was sorta obvious and the gameplay got a bit repetitive, the graphics I felt were stunning though. I'm glad to see this time that you can actually swim, and I think the new inventions will give it a nice twist.. I just hope they don't make the mistake of it being a bit too repetitive this time around. I know games all have repetition, but the first AC was a bit too much imo.
