Assassin's Creed 1-2 are two of the worst games ever created

Millions of gamers disagree.

Obviously, that's why it's overrated.

Answer this question though: When was the last time you were playing Assassin's Creed and thought, "this is a really fun game"?

Yesterday, playing Assassin's Creed III. But since you're talking about AC2:

You have enormously oversimplified the combat, for one thing. A lot of it is about timing. And you can't just use block-counter on every enemy. Yes, it is still easy, but you are a master assassin, and they are conscripted grunts. Do you object to the fact that Kratos is a great deal more durable than a skeleton warrior?

The story and characters are excellent, both within and outside the Animus.

You have to understand that the fact that it contains freerunning does not make it a platformer. The point is to feel like an assassin; to be able to effortlessly move between rooftops and such.

The story missions contain variety that most games only dream of. And then there's the side content:

• Beat Up events
• Races
• Assassination contracts
• Courier assignments
• Feather collecting
• Unlocking View Points
• Templar Lairs
• Assassin Tombs
• Monteriggioni statuettes
• Upgrading Monteriggioni
• Upgrading the Villa Auditore
• Notoriety mini-missions

Throw in a great soundtrack and enormous attention to detail in the beautiful environments of Renaissance Italy, and you get one of my favourite games of the generation.
