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.

Like I said before, I didn't care so much that the first one was so repetitive, because I just adored the gameplay.

Other than that there wasn't so much to criticize anyway.

I agree. I thought the gameplay itself was near flawless. The controls especially. My problem was having to do the exact same thing for almopst every Assassination:

- Go to eagle point.

- Pickpocket someone.

- Listen in on a conversation.

- Assassinate Targer.

and you pretty much do that 9 times and it ends.

Assassins Creed 2 on the other hand, throws so many things into the mix, and really makes every single assassination unique in its own way. Whether it be because of the things you need to do to set the assassination up, or the actual kill itself.

Just my thoughts..

@ Spartan - I just managed to check, I have 25/50 achievements. that's 645 of the 1000 gamer score you can get. I read the list and they don't look too hard I might actually do this myself.

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

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

do in need to play AC 1 to get into AC2 (the story, the gameplay, controlls...)

Hmmmm well AFAIR you're getting told the main part of AC1's story at the beginning of AC2.

You will have no problem following Ezio's life but you might have some problems with Desmond. However you control Ezio for about 95% of the game, so it doesn't matter that much.

And the game teaches you the controls as if you haven't played the first one.
