In the last hour I've discovered just how underrated Assassins Creed is.

How come? Based on the disappointing reviews or negative comments here on VGC?

Mix of both plus comments. The reviews especially in relation to those of the previous games, which are out-of-sync of my own perceptions of those games, and the comments which so far seem to be overreactions. Getting the game at midnight so hoping I don't find them to be right (really hoping the Mass Effect 3 ending is the only one where I find out the reactions were justified).

Interesting. But I guess it's expected this late in a generation? It's harder to wow reviewers who at this point are fatigued by so much repetition.

Anyway, how do you rate the previous Assassin's Creeds?

I love them all, even the first one very very much. But Brotherhood disappointed me a bit, having so many unnecessary features and nothing new that really improved the experience. (I haven't yet played Revelations).

In order: 1) ACII 2) Brotherhood 3) AC I 4) Revelations

I get what you mean with the first game, I was too busy enjoying it to notice how repetitive it was getting. Brotherhood was good for me but didn't hit the heights of ACII, the new features set it apart as it own game but it didn't have the same feeling as II. Revelations was the low point of the series (for me at least). Never used the bomb-making as it was really pointless, the Den Defence was major pain and the Desmond Memory sequences were the absolute rock bottom (can't believe they made DLC based on the gameplay elements in that).

Revelations should bridge the gap into ACIII, but you're not missing too much. It was biggest disappointment of the year on the site for a reason.
