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

I've only played the first so far, so I'm no expert. But even from that experience, I can say that it's not one of the worst IPs ever. But, again, take my opinion with a grain of salt.

1 was bearable.... all downhill from there.

I feel exactly the opposite. 1 was bearable, all uphill from there. Or rather, it peaked at AC2, dropped down a bit for Brotherhood and Revelations, and then rose for AC3 but not up to AC2 levels (so 2 > 3 > Brotherhood > Revelations > 1).

I had the following problems with 1:

• Desmond was worthless, all he did was lie down and occasionally have Vidic gloat at him.
• Altair had that god awful American accent which was retconned in Revelations.
• Combat was clumsy.
• Other than the assassinations, you were just doing chores for the entire game, the same little tasks over and over again
• The 20-minute unskippable soliloquies every time you assassinated someone.
• A complete lack of notable side characters, except perhaps Al Mualim.

I felt that this was all fixed in AC2, which didn't really introduce any problems of its own. Do you disagree?
