Question about all the Assassins Creed games

I have never played any of the Assassins Creed games. But after seeing the pictures for the third one it made me want to play. Would you recommend playing all of the ones that are currently out? Also what order do they go? thanks

definitely not ALL of them, but you should at least check out AC2, which imo has the most engaging narrative in the whole franchise. after that maybe Brotherhood. it further improves on AC2's gameplay in most aspects - though AI remains dismal, a problem which i fully expect Ubisoft to fix in AC3. haven't played Revelations so i can't comment, but den defense seems to sour the game for many fans.

Definetly play AC2 as for the other ones...play assassin's creed and if you become a big fan of the game then go ahead and play the other ones but if you thought ac2 was just mediocre, then I would leave the other games.

Play AC1 then AC2, for story purposes. I haven't played the two spin-offs but people say they don't add much to the story anyway.

You can skip the first one, but play all the others.

Play them all in order AC1-AC REV

Play the first one as it will make you enjoy the second even more.

I probably will eventually, the reason I hesitate buying them is because I think they'll be too much like AC2, just with different missions. Isn't Brotherhood more online oriented?

AC1 isn't that great and its so dated and repetitive you may not even finish it (I barely did), though I'd give it a quick rent or $5 purchase since I hear a lot of people loved it and the story is good.

ACII is easily the best AC game in the series, with a fantastic story, fantastic gameplay, fantastic set pieces, fantastic RPG mechanics, fantastic polish, fantastic freedom and oh my god I have to go replay it right now.

Brotherhood I'd give a rent since it was short-ish and the multiplayer probably won't be as prominent or fully featured as Reveations' multiplayer.

Have yet to try Revelations myself.

well id say play all the games but thats just me, i think its better to get the full experience of the series and such. its goes in order like this; AC, ACll, AC:BH, AC:R. in my opinion their all great games, but then again this is one of my most favorite series.

They're all cheap enough now, play them in order the way they were meant to be played. Then you won't need to keep making topics asking all these questions. Though AC2 is the best, so if that doesn't sell you on the series then don't bother.

I'm actually playing my first Assassin's Creed game right now... It's Assassin's Creed II. You'll have to look up the plot of the first game to have any idea of what's going on and despite the rough controls, it's an enjoyable enough experience.

I would recommened you play all of them. The first one is really boring gameplay wise as it is extreamly repetitive, so if you give any of them a miss, make it that one. It has a decent story though. Definitly play AC 2, it is the best out of all of them by a long way. From two onwards they kind of link together, so I wouldn't recommened playing Brotherhood or Revelations without playing the previous ones.
