assassin's creed versus assassin's creed two

[cloud1161]

well here goes nothing.  i think i liked the first one better than the second.  i know the majority probably say the second blows the first away.  there are pros and cons in both games.  one con i found in both games is that the story feels rushed.  i mean for the most part its just go here and do this unless you want to get all the viewpoints, treasures, feathers and etc.  the one thing that i do like better in the second is theres a little more freedom with weapons, armor, abilities,  and the town renovations.  i think that was one of the biggest assets they added to the series.  i think the thing i like most about the first one over the second is altair.   i mean ezio is a fine main character but altair was just so badass while ezio goes from the town hoodlum to a killer within a few hours of gameplay.  also, i feel the climbing in the first one was a little easier to do cuz i found myself getting a little angry in the second one several times while i never had a problem in the first.  what do you guys think cuz i know i go against the norm for the most part.
