KyKy Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I hated the first Assassin's Creed. I found it really boring and repetitive so I gave up. I have read several reviews/critics say that this game shouldn't be judged by the first and is significantly better. So is this really the case? How so?

Minty Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Well if free running and killing people isn't your cup of tea, then you're not going to like this one either. The principle is the same, its just far better executed. Depends on the reasons you didn't like the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteraven Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Is not that repetitive and yes is way better than the first one...And, is not only about killing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie Bert Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 The main character has much more personality then Altair did, you also get to see his motivations and him becoming an assassin which adds to that. The combat is improved and the repetitive pickpocket/eavesdrop/brawl stuff is gone and replaced with more unique stuff. On top of that, the story and graphics are improved as well, with some great twists thrown in especially near the end. Overall it's a much better game and definitely worth getting over the first, though you might want to read a wiki article on the first games plot and perhaps watch a couple end game videos to get caught up on the story.

KrossWinter Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 The basic concept of stalking your opponent and killing them is still the same, but the overall gameplay is so much better. Theres no fetching a million and two flags, just 50 feathers scattered about. There's a whole economy system, smoother fights, and generally it is simply better executed. No assassination is the same. The plotline is a very well written, with twists and turns and Ezio (the main character) has so much more depth than Altair did. Plenty of sidequests too if you want to take a break from the plot as well. This game isn't a rent like Assassin's Creed was. Number two is so much better, and you will enjoy it by far.

Can't agree more. Besides AC2 has ranked top among many critics as well. I particularly enjoyed those sidequest assassination contracts. There are a lot of them in AC2 and all of them are different. I remember very well there was one that required me to kill 10 heavy-armoured guards, in 60s. This mission really requires skills as well as luck. I had to replay no less than 10 times to get the feeling but I was so happy when I cleared it, very rewarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARZ Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I didn't care much for the first one either - but the second one I am having a blast with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkeyshow555 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 it is much like the first one, long and repetitive.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EoN Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Although the first Assasin's Creed was repetitive, the second one has improved alot. So, i would recommend getting the sequel, even if you hated the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather V says Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I was in the same position as you. I liked the first one for about 5 minutes until I realized I'd be doing the same thing over and over again. Then I despised the game completely. For the longest time I was on the fence about getting the second one and then gamestop had it on sale for $30 so I went for it. Seriously, it's one of the best games I've played. I'm super glad I gave it a chance even though I hated the first one. You should definitely get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactuszach Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Well, the story honestly is obtuse and doesn't makes sense, while asking you to buy some pretty ridiculous ideas. Its about as smart and clever as Transformers 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmona Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 While this one is an improvement over the first, if you hated the first one you have no reason to buy this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eemajorpain Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I loved the first one and this just added more to the original. If you didn't enjoy it, then you won't like this one either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prelude2disastr Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I disagree with the above. The concept is the same, obviously, but the execution is far improved. There's a paced story, character development beyond your general expectations and a load of side-quests. This game has a lot to offer and considering nowadays you can pick up the GOTY edition for £20, it's a great addition to any games collection.

TehEmerald Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Brilliant game. Quite cheap now aswell, even though if you didnt like the concept of the first, this isnt going to be your favourite game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtBooyaka Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 So much better than the 1st. Cooler weapons, better story, achievements that aren't as annoying. I hated getting all the flags in AC1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedi420j Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I hated the first game but love the second one.. much better story and overall it felt almost more like an open world RPG than the ultra repetitive AC1.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essecks Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I think I'm the opposite - I loved the first one (until I hit the achievement glitches with flags and templars), but was kind of bored with the second one. It was entertaining, but not excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryuk1994 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 The 2nd 1 is awesome. its not as repetitive as the 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadly Moves Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 It all depends on how much your hated the 1st. if the only thing you hated was how repetetive it was, then you might like the 2nd. But if it was more than that. i wouldnt bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
