Electronic Theatre reports on the TV debut of Assassin's Creed II, which at first appears a little disappointing, but proves fruitful after a little digging...

The documentary trailer also hints that players will not only be skilled at athletics and the art of blending-in, but may also be able to control, pilot and use some of Da Vinci’s inventions. Seen in repeated displays of design sketches is the incredibly encouraging personal hang glider; which, although reportedly deemed ridiculous in Da Vinci’s time, has since been completed and proved functional. Some architecture is also shown, hinting at a return of the watchtower mechanic from the first title.
