It's truly amazing

I played about 8 hous of it so far and i have to say, its amazing, i can't believe how polished it is for only have a year in between 2 and Brotherhood.. the economy system is fantastic! one thing i would have to complain about though is that it kinda just drops you in with no tutorial, so you feel a little overwhelmed with all the new features and one not.. But after and hour or two i felt right at home, I've already decided i'm gonna try a hidden blade only play through (did it for the 1st and 2nd one as well)

What if I rent it today, beat it by the weekend, never want to touch it again, and return it to Blockbuster for $7.50. Then, what if you buy it today, beat it by the weekend, never want to touch it again, and then use it as a $65 space holder somewhere within your dwellings reminding you that I played through 8 games and you only played through one?

If you are a collector, disregard my retaliation to you who mocks we who walk behind the rows. (Of our local Blockbuster every tuesday.)

Blockbuster is still open? Anyways ... I agree with the "no tutorial" bit, but it's easy to figure out after a few missions or side missions or random battles

To the person who wanted to know if it ties in ... Brotherhood picks up RIGHT where AC2 left off, and then re-explains some things ... so anyone who hasn't played 1 or 2 will be able to play the new one ... they just won't know as much as we do

so far on PS3, a lot of the framerate issues are fixed, there is still a SLIGHT problem, but not too noticeable ... The textures and graphics are improved as well as the gameplay animations - there aren't the same 3 animations for each weapon ... there are a lot of different animations - The story is pretty good so far

They said it has a weak story compared to AC2, but I wasn't expecting it to surpass AC2's fantastic story.

How aggressive is the enemy AI? the one small issue I had with AC2 is that the enemies were not aggressive enough.

That all depends on you ... int he 2nd one, all you had to do was taunt them and they'll attack immediately - as is the same for this one, but in most cases, they are pretty aggressive - more so than the second

The problem with taunting was that you almost always got hit because you were very exposed and couldn't move :(

Well well we meet again, no surprise to find you posting on boards only to bash a game. I love the franchise, despite its minor speed bumps along the way and the ignorant haters who just wish to badmouth it. I bought this game,I love this game, and I am far from stupid.

GT gave it 9.0 Eurogamer gave it 10/10 I'm sure people who aren't going to get it are just gonna say "GS is more trust-worthy" but in the end, the only reason that anyone doesn't like this game is because it's not AC3 and it isn't completely different from AC2. I say it's a better game, it's just that Ubi marketed the game wrongly and gamers have been expecting something that Ubi wasn't promising. besides, 8.5 in GS is freaking awesome. so many Wii games got that score and ended up amazing in my books.

So, will you buy the second non numbered Assassins Creed as well?

And then maybe the 3rd one after that?

The 4th?

Will you get tired by the 5th time?

No, im bashing a game franchise that should just die. However sadly IF AC brotherhood is a success, you will see alot more sub plot games like it.

just because you don't like it doesn't mean the franchise should die. If you don't like it, don't play it and while you are on that, don't bash it. The repetitiveness of a series is a problem for the fan of the series, not someone else who doesn't even play the series. I honestly have no idea what you would get from bashing this when you don't even like the franchise and probably won't even play it.

So, you think it should die just because you don't like it? I see plenty of logic there. :roll:

And what makes you think there will be more non-numbered assassin's creed games? Ubisoft hasn't said anything.

If I like a game then I'm going to buy and enjoy, so when they stop at Assasin's Creed III since its ONLY a triology, I will be very content. How many pos Final fantasies did they make? Going on 13? That franchise should've died already, given the terrible player reponse to this newer one. And for @funsohng, its how he gets his kicks out of life. Goes on the board of games he doesn't like and needlessly bashes them just to get attention. Grow up Melope come on now. Assassin's Creed is an amazing franchise, just deal with it. Go back to bashing Call of Duty since I'm sure you hate that as well since its popular

i havent played AC2 yet, because I think AC1 was horrible. incredibly repetitive and way too easy... would i still enjoy playing AC2/Brotherhood? I know most ppl say AC2 is so much better than the first one, but then again, they also rated the first one good (same goes for reviewer-sites like GS, IGN etc.) Between AC2 and Brotherhood, which one is better as a game? (not taking into account story) I'd hate to play through games like that within 10 hours and then leave them be.. its just a waste of money.

CBottom7

I think people need to read the review not decide if the game is great or not by a number, sometimes I read reviews and I have read ACB review by the way and the game sounds great and fun the only downside is the story, which I'm hoping it will not be that bad.
