I dunno really I played the first one and got about half way through until i thought this is repetitive and crap and turned it off and left it on my shelf.

I took a gamble on this one, and so far I am really enjoying it. I can follow the story well enough to work out what happened in the first one to make it not have a detremental effect on the second one and unlike cheese i'm kinda enjoying the story, now that I have a grasp of why things are going on I can follow it alot better, the 1st one kinda dumped you into the whole your an assassin but not an assassin this one gives you a reason to be Ezio and hes a far more likeable character than Altair you train Ezio to be an assassin not you are an assassin to begin with. Granted i'm still not 100% sold on the whole unlocking memories thing but its a nice twist on it.

That and the gameplay is so much better the missions are varied and fun, that being said its more like AC1.5 than 2 its essentially the game AC1 should have been.

Fair enough I would warn you though the mission structure ofAC1 does get so repetitive it's not even funny, tbh the whole the truth thin is the one thingthats bugging me solving annoying pointless puzzles for a seconds worth of video that from what I can tell even when youget all 20 secs of still will make no bloody sense.

I'll stick to wholesale murder just got altairs armour too, best armour in the game and it looks awesome.
