Im liking assassin creed 1 and I not sure about the second. My friends said it's completely different to the original should I get it or get a cheaper game for my new ps3. Like Fallout 3 or Farcry 2.

Idk about AC2, but I have one piece of advice for you STAY AWAY FROM FAR CRY 2. Fallout 3 is a good game and if you like AC1 then you'll probably like AC2 even more.

Assassin's Creed 2 is a far better game than the first, but it's also a Ubisoft game - ie, it'll drop in price very quickly. Heck, I picked it up less than a month after launch during a one day $30 promotion. If you want something now, I'd recommend the Fallout 3 GOTY edition - great value for your money. Then pick up Assassin's Creed 2 when it drops to $40 or $30 or so.

Exactly, it looks good but it sucks. It takes forever to get to missions, random people attack you every 2 minutes, and gun jamming is annoying. I could probably go on and on with all the problems I saw in the game but I don't feel like typing that much.

It's not THAT bad, but it gets a lot of (deserved) hate for some of its design choices. Driving everywhere to get to your next mission gets old, but it gets even worse because all of the guard posts around the map respawn, and the chances of blowing through them on your vehicle without it getting destroyed are pretty slim. So you have to stop, kill everyone there, and then continue on your way, over and over again because those posts are everywhere.

AC2 is like AC1 but everything is better. It is less repetitive than the first one and you have more things to do. If you like AC1 you would like AC2.

Assassin's Creed 2 is miles better than the original. If you like the first you'll absolutely love the second. Fantastic game.

i'm sorry for the interruption but i, too, loved farcry 2, if you use the buses instead of driving everywhere, it is faster to reach the mission spots... of course there are shortcomings, like if you shoot at someone with a silenced rifle and kill everone in the area knows where you are, it is a game with a lot of grinding (idk if it is a good term or bad term, i for one could not care less, i loved borderlands as well :))... it is definitely an underappreciated game imho... on the other hand i played ac 1 and found it to be too repetitive and could not even finish it due to the fact that i had another game waiting for me at that time, and i never looked back, that was my reason for not buying ac 2, but this is just an opinion and i am sure there are people who love this game, my advice is for yo to rent it for a couple of days (if that is an option for you) and if you like it, hell buy it... :)

Just because of this, I'm going to pick the game up and see if I don't like it. :P On a serious note, Assassin's Creed 2 all the way. JUST because I have scars from AC1.

You have to get Assassin's Creed 2. My favourite game of all time. The only thing AC1 is better at than AC2 is the way that assassinations are carried out. For everything else AC2 obliterates AC1 by light years.

and

P.S. DON'T BUY FAR CRY 2. Horribly repetitive with pathetic MP, i can't belive i wasted $89 (AU) on it. Great graphics, physics, immersiveness, lighting and all but the gameplay and story is horrid (which is what they should have focused on), not to mention endless respawns of guard outposts (every 2 mins).

i reviewed it here. I know it's a lot of text but it gives you all the information you need.

I disagree. Ubisoft games drop in price quickly because they are average, or below average a lot of the time. AC2 is the exception for a quite a while, so it's going to be at £30+ for a long, long time.

Assassin's Creed 2 is a great game. Better than the first in almost every way. Although, I liked the setting in the first one better.

2 I fantastic. Amazing in fact. A definite buy. I played it for like 20 hours before beating it. I did explore and stuff, not just the main storyline, but it isn't very repetitive at all. Very, very, very fun in fact.

I heard the second one is better, but I only played the first one for about half an hour. I heard AC1 is very repetitive... and I just saw AC2 for 30$ at Futureshop.ca. Can I play AC2 without having finished the first game?

Both are awesome games, but AC2 is less repetitive with better story layout.

Beside that, AC2 supports trophies, but AC1 doesnt.
