Yeah, pretty much. But it's loads more fun then "Stop, turn the direction you want to go, line up the jump, hope you land it perfectly" mechanic of other action platformers.
Played a little bit of it. The gameplay isn't worlds better than the previous. There are more mission types, which are fun, but it's very similar to AC1 in terms of gameplay (Which I consider a good thing, I loved AC1)
The real jump forward is in the voice acting, atmosphere, historical perspective and "realism" (And I use that term loosely). It's a whole lot more engrossing than AC1 in all those fields.
