Assassin's Creed was a hotly anticipated title last year, and it's no secret that some gamers were disappointed with the final result. It seems Ubisoft is well aware of the mixed reception to the game, per recent comments made by Ubisoft North American President Lauren Detoc to Forbes about bringing the series back when "there will be more anticipation for it."
Detoc also mentioned Prince of Persia, addressing the absence of games from the series in recent years, saying "As we get bigger, we can give it more breathing room." Also interesting ... I have enjoyed the little bit of Prince of Persia I have played, and I would be very interested to see where Assassin's Creed could go with some attention to the details that bothered gamers about the first title. Would you play a sequel?

I'd be very interested in a sequel soon, if only to see the mechanic work in a different world. Modern, near-modern, a new location for the Altair character/era, etc.
Overall, it just feels very "Achievement-y", if that makes any sense to anyone. I'm hoping there are some basic world/environment improvements in the inevitable sequel.
There's alot of evidence that seems to support the next Assassin's Creed being in Japan, which means even more potential!
-Tighter Controls that make me feel like I'm controlling the character instead of just giving him a nudge in the right direction
-GamePlay that doesn't feel like it was generated by a "Mission Machine"
-Assassinations with a bit more of that "Hitman" variety of approaches/stealthiness judgement to them
I'm much more intrigued with the possible Japanese and Mayan settings, than a rehash of the last.
As long as they address the monotony of missions and add things to do even after the game is beaten (besides flags), then there's no way I'd be upset. I'm talking about much more than just the few additions they added to the PC version.
Now, with that said, if they were to re-release Assassin's Creed with whatever improvements they create for the sequels, I'll buy ten copies of it. The third crusade was such a great setting.
Either way, bring on the awesome.
And I never experienced any of the wacky glitches that many (especially Workman) posted here on Dtoid.
Also, I agree with Dr. Nutt, the sequel had better address that cliff hanger ending from the original or I'll go apeshit.
Yes please.
I'm in the middle of Assassin's Creed right now, and I'm really digging it despite the repetitiveness.

Please, just a few coins! I beg of you!
I'm pretty pumped for the new Prince of Persia too.
I only ever played the second PoP (at least from the last gen) and liked it well enough. I didn't play the third but am hotly anticipating the recently announced one.
Glad to see Ubisoft isn't outright raping every one of their franchises like some of their competitors, too.
