One of the most annoying things in the original Assassin’s Creed was dying everytime Altair went in the water. It just was unrealistic. If there is a “jump” feature built into the game then we should have been able to jump out of the water and onto one of those canoes in the canal. Thanksfully, Ubisoft has fixed this issue in Assassin’s Creed 2.

An article published in Game Informer reveals that Assassin’s Creed II will grant the player the ability to swim and use the canals of Venice as hiding spots and will allow the player to drag city guards into the water as a means of assassination.

Kick ass huh? I think drowing a guard in the water will be my first act of revenge!
