how many hours and how hard is it?

thinking about doing it.

any input is appreciated ;)

Hmmm.....not sure. But did you beat the game?

If you did: What do you think?

I just beat the game yesterday and all I can say is that it is a freaking MASTERPIECE!

no not yet,,, i haven't even played the game yet :P

how long did it take you to finish and at what percent trophy are you?

Not hard at all.

Could take about 17 or 18 hours ?
Although that's just speculation.

EDIT:

Took me and Munkeh 12 hours to complete. I've played another hour and I've got 800/1000G at the moment.

barozi,,,what do you give ACII and AC1?

I have played the game for 25 hours and I have the platinum :D. Not that hard but requires time to collect some things (like the 100 feathers)

I've heard the only hard trophy to get is collecting all feathers. If you've got the patience to find them all then platinum should be pretty easy.

U2 platinum is hard XI

i have to finish hard and then again finish on crushing,,,too much if you ask me

so i might get the ACII platinium

Well the fact that the AC series is one of my favourites this gen might make my opinion of it sound a bit biased.

But well I'd give AC1 a 9.7/10. Here's what I wrote on the ranking game thread:

"One of the best games this gen IMO:

Wonderful graphics
Awesome and unique story
Gameplay
Mostly good achievements
Fantastic main character

Yes it is repetitive in some parts, but when the gameplay is just top notch, then I want even more of it !!!

9.7/10"

I can understand why other people didn't like it that much, but I swear AC2 is like a complete new (and great) IP. The repetitiveness is completely gone, there are much more weapons and a more varied figting system.

My final score for AC2 is 9.9/10

Little on the high end IMO Barozi.

I'd give Assassins Creed 1 an 8/10. Solid storyline, great gameplay, and innovative as hell. This was probably the first game I played where free running was this fun. However, it's beyond repetitive.

Assassins Creed 2 on the other hand, get's a 9.4 easily. It took away almost every repetitive aspect of the first one and built on the good things. They polished the graphics more, added swimming, and made the story much more involving. In the first game, I felt like I was killing people because some dude gave me a list. In the second game, I felt like it was pretty much my characters duty to kill every person he did. They also added a shitload of weapons to the scenario. Without getting into the story too much, I will also say that the second one left me begging for more.
