you'll be in control of Ezio, and it's street brawlin' time!
The game gives you a tutorial this time around (guess letting Desmond get
pummeled wasn't important). You can attack still, but also lock on to a target
with L1. The R1 button lets you block or deflect. Do this when multiple
enemies swarm you.

A more interesting feature is the combo system. Time your Square button presses
so that when a punch lands, you hit the button again and you can combo an
attack repeatedly. This was actually a part of sword fighting in AC1, but now
you can do it with your fists too.

After a quick scene, you get more targets to pummel. Focus on blocking and
attacking when it's clear. You should pay attention to that white bar in the
top left which is your health. It won't matter too much what happens though.
