The storyline in it also continues to mostly deal with the internal politics of early 16th century Italy, just Rome and the Borgia family this time. It was actually pretty interesting interacting with characters I'd previously heard of from the History Channel.
I really like the suggestion they came up with later in the show about the bleed-in effect of the Animus though. At the beginning of Brotherhood Desmond is already beginning to confuse his own personality with Ezio's. I always assumed that at one point a past Assassin's (Ezio or Altair) personality would emerge in Desmond himself.
Oh, and I think the "Battle of Forli" DLC in AC2 is worth it, if only because it starts to develop one of the era's more interesting characters who only appears briefly in the main game but plays more prominently into Brotherhood.
