AC I & II...WOW

Hello everyone, just wanted to share my experience with these two games since i bought them both on special offer for $20 both.

Well, AC I its the worst game ive played, everyone know why so after a two weeks of playing it and trying to finish i cant handle it anymore so i sold it.

like two weeks ago the trailer for ac:revelations was released...i said omg its incredible i cant let pass this franchise so i saw that ac 1 and 2 were on special offer for 20 bucks both, so wth i bought both and i finished (hardly, too painfully boring) ac 1 and started ac2.

let me say this, WOW, this game is amazing, it continues the story but its a like it made a 360° turn, they improved every aspect of the game, the battle system, the upgrading, the exploring, the story, everything, now im at sequence 5 and im loving it, i just cant put the controller down, im really amazed with this game.

now after i finished ac2 ill buy ac brotherhood because i cant miss these games, and this goe for eveyone that havent played any ac games or just because the first one sucked, i said go and try it, the second one is one of the best games ive played. thanks

I only played AC Brotherhood. Hate it... A LOT!!!

well the first one isn't the worst game ever, they simply made a lot of improvements for the 2nd as any good sequel should (i.e. Uncharted 2 is far better than the 1st). I do agree the 2nd is by far the better one. However, they seem to simply be pushing one out every year now, so my expectations for the 3rd aren't too high, though they're higher for the 4th. This is because it seems like they may have spent more time with it because the story seems to weave together Altair and Ezio as they're both playable characters.

Agreed, the multiplayer is one of the worst I've played in years. I think Assassin's Creed is a very mediocre and overrated series, it's repetitive, bad graphics, and I just found it really boring IMO.

the graphics arent the best but the first one had a lot of bugs and was boring as hell, too rpetitive and nothing interesting, but the second one is great

idk how bro is but i plan to play it and i dont care too much about multiplayer, i will awlways prefer a great single player story than the best multiplayer

they havent improved the graphics for revelations too, that sucks xD

ur right, the first one was soo repetitive, you just keep doing the same thing over and over and over.

AC II is ALOT better than AC I

also the figting and the movement of the character itself were so buggy

You know what grinds my gears? People thinking that AC2 is so much better than AC1...it's not.

imo, ac1 and ac2 are not much different on gameplay...ac2 just have more mini missions, of course trophy support (that's ac2's main advantage over 1). rest is pretty much the same. Same climbing monkey game with super easy combat.

i liked AC1, i love AC2. i just unlocked the last portion of venice and man what a game. im gonna be playing the AC series back to back and AC2 is just awesome. the way they made the cities look is just amazing, it looks so gorgeous like the scenery and everything. i dont know how u could say it has bad graphics. i just got all 100 feathers and Altair's armour. definately one of my favourite games this gen. i plan on getting brotherhood as soon as i bet AC2.

In terms of story and overall gameplay, Assassin's Creed series is my fave current gen series. Yes I liked the first one too. Any game thats rich with detail and fun to just explore and mess around is a winner in my book. AC does this with a deep story. I'm a fan of conspiracy theories and scientology and AC combines these themes well. I can't wait til Revelations comes out.

AC1 starred a man with an American accent during the time of the Holy Crusades.

You can't really be more badass than a man withthe accent of a country that didn't exist yet.:lol:

Every time a game does something different it gets hate. The AC multi player is a breath of fresh air amongst other online games that are trying their hardest to copy and compete with each other. It's different. It plays well and is enjoyable. Is it the most technically sound game out? No. But it's fun. That's all that matters. The graphics are great for a multi platform title and the repetition ended when AC2 was released. ACII and Brotherhood offer tons of variety. Mediocre? No. Over rated? No. Just because you do not like something does not make it bad.

@TC. If AC1 is the worst game you have ever played, You must not play many games :/

AC1 was indeed reptitive. There were glitches with combat, and free running. But as a whole package, it was an original idea that was executed well. The jump from AC1 to AC2 is one of the most impressive in gaming history. Virtually every issue they had in the first one was fixed in the second. It's become a well written game with fantastic gameplay and lot's of replay value. The addition of multi player only improved that.

Assassin's Creed was a great idea in a flawed game. Assassin's Creed 2 is all around great. I can't say that anything is great about Brotherhood though.

the concept and all the story behind the game its great, thats why i finished the first one and to continue with the second one, because i wanted to know the story and wanted to enjoy it at its fullest.

the assasin, templars, pieces of eden and a whole conspirancy, its what have me motivated to play the game. also the locations, the exploration is fun, not like the first one.

i didnt liked the first because of the technical problems, the story and the concept is wonderful, what i meant to say its that the technicall issues the game had made me sell the game the first time, but with the second one i cant imagine how ac brotherhood is...omg rome

but with the second one i cant imagine how ac brotherhood is...omg romeTIGERLIONX

I hated 1, enjoyed 2 a bit because I almost platinumed it.

Never found the will to collect all the feathers though. xP

Rome is 3 times bigger than Florence. I don't get it.parvie

ac2 also have the easiest platinum trophy....acb's platinum trophy is not as easy as ac2...it has online trophies and some single player trophies require some skill to achieve,

I still got the first one here on my shelf... after i finish the exams i'll try a final push again :P

I also love the continued story line in the series, I found the first game to repetative after a while but that has been resolved in both II and Botherhood.

Looking forward to the next installment

I played AC II and thought it was just okay. No story really - somebody killed your family so you kill them. The main character was a big nothing, with no personality at all. Running and jumping across rooftops was kind of cool, but it would quite often send you jumping off in some completely unintended direction. And running back and forth, and back and forth, and back and forth through city streets wasn't very exciting either. The ending was kind of neat I guess.

I think you're confused by what I'm saying. The Assassin's Creed games are all great in my opinion, but people need to stop ragging on the original because it's not nearly as bad as people have claimed that it is. AC1 was merely more tedious because Ubisoft has made a lot of the meaningless tasks mandatory before you move on with progression. AC2 made them all optional and definitely improved because of that, but the core gameplay remains identical.

I bought the First AC when it was first released, and I remember enjoying it. But yes the second one is a huge improvement. If you like AC2 that much, wait till you play Brotherhood, it was an improvement as well imo. Only thing I hated was renovatiing everything.

Here's my opinion:

AC1: Great game, really enjoyable. There was definately some noticable flaws though; such as the mindless repetition and loooooong, boring cutscenes.

AC2: Basically cut out the bad stuff from AC1 and then built upon the good stuff. Fantastic sequel.

ACB: Pretty much the same as AC2, but with some small improvements, as well as the addition of a fantastic multiplayer mode. Unfortunately, I think the series is becoming too easy.

My expectations for Assassin's Creed: Revelations are not very high at the moment. What they've shown so far just looks like Brotherhood with a new setting to me.

Do you mean story being sacfriced for action? If so, then yeah... I suppose. The story of Brotherhood was a little disappointing, but I still think the main story is great.

Oh yeah, I remember that :P That was a more than a little ridiculous.

But as long as they make a great game, then I'm happy.

AC is an overrated series,I agree... although AC2 was a good game.

I've played 1 & 2 twice each, and I've always felt like 1 played more like an experiment, whereas 2 was a much clearer rendition of what they were trying to accomplish.

i recently played AC1 and then 2 and just finished AC2 yesterday. i can say that AC2 was probably one of my favourite games on PS3 so far. one hell of a game i love polished quality games like that. gonna get brotherhood soon so lookin forward to that.
