Other than using the same control scheme, not really.

But you should throw in AC1 and check it out. I remember being quite impressed with the visuals at the time, particularly the lighting.

The big complaint was not the gameplay as much as the repetitive design of each location. "You moved to a new city! Now murder these guys." It was super fun to jump off a building and stab someone in the back, but once you've done it 20 times you want some variety. AC2 has a lot more variety in activities.
