Everyone's freaking out about this quote on VG247, in which the "Assassin's Creed 2" game direction, Benoit Lambert, stated the following:
"Ezio is a womaniser...there’s a bit of sex. I can’t say more."
Thankfully I can say more, as I've seen the exact bit of sex he's talking about, which demonstrated at an event up at Ubisoft Montreal.
At the beginning of "Assassin's Creed 2," Ezio is merely a snotty teenage noble and a bit of a horndog. The first hour or so of the game is a tutorial, introducing you to the new setting, gameplay elements and characters. One such character is Ezio's girlfriend, who you'll meet after sneaking into her room under the cover of darkness. From there, things get frisky, but everything's pretty muted. Using action buttons you can help her to disrobe, but you'll only see her naked upper back.
Then, when it's time for escalation, another action button merely blows out the candle. The rest, as they say, is left to the imagination. All in all, it's pretty tame, and nothing compared to the scenes in "Mass Effect" or "God of War." Strictly PG-13 level, despite the game's M rating. No moans, no rocking night table. Just a pissed off father and an early morning dash to freedom.
There is, however, a great scene later on when Ezio's mother is talking to him about his womanizing ways:
Mom: You need more outlets.
Ezio: I have plenty of outlets!
Mom: I meant besides vaginas.
Zing!
