Because i heard the first one was pretty boring and sort of over-rated, also will it be out dated or what ?

Is it ok of i just play 2 and read the story of part 1 on wikipedia just to be on the right track, because i heard the end of it is pretty important to keep track of the storyline. ( No Spoilers please )

I actually think its better to skip the first one and go to the second. The first one sucked imo.

Yes, you should play the first assassins creed so you can follow the storyline better, the second game begins right where the first one concluded, I strongly advice you to play the first one before the sequel, specially when Assassins Creed 1 can be found so cheap :P

Not really. I only played like half of the first one because it was so meh. I jumped right into AC2 and was fine for the most part. There are some videos online that can recap the events in the first one if you want to be more informed.

Dude, you can totally skip the first one. I actually recommend that you do. Its a crap game and may actually persuade you not to continue on to the second, but the second is absolutely amazing. Nothing about the plot of AC1 really gets revealed til the very end of the game. I'd just do a YouTube search for the ending of AC1. That's more than enough to get you up to speed with what's going on in part 2. Honestly, you could just skip it all together cause part 2 does a better job of explaining it itself.

yeah and as far as gameplay, you take control of a completely different character in the animus(back in the middle ages), so there is not much correlation except the ending of the first one.

If you play AC1 you mght not even want AC2. I'd say youtube the story of the first.

The only significant part of the story in AC1 is at the end so, just read em up and you're good to go for AC2.

Read AC1's story on Wikipedia and then jump right into the awesomeness of AC2.
