I liked the first Assassins Creed, it was fun to play.
If there's a demo for the second part i definitely check it out, but i won't buy this game (and neither pirate it) because of three simple things:
1. I don't like DRM.
2. I don't like activation through the internet. You'll never know what else is send to their server unless you sniff all the traffic and see what's in there.
3. I still cannot imagine playing a singleplayer-game which needs a constant internetconnection. It just doesn't make sense to me. Right now i'm thinking of unfinished server-software and broken servers which keep gamers from playing because they cannot connect.
I guess (but i don't really know) it' snot that hard to crack this kind of game. In my opinion all it should need would be a VPN-server and a crack.
I don't think that it would work to host a local server to save the game, i think that the developers will check if there is a connection, no matter where it leads to.
