Not at all, there's an explanation in the second one where they just tell you everything about the first one, I didn't play the first one and understood everything.

Same here. But, it wouldn't hurt to read a few AC 1 summaries (but be wary of ACII spoilers!)
It would help in understanding the backstory of Desmond and such, but you could probably play though AC2 without playing 1. It'd be like playing MGS4 without playing MGS 1-3, you would probably understand the story you miss a few minor throwbacks to the previous ones.
No the story isn't that big in the first one so I think that you should just get the 2nd one. If you really want to know the story then check wikipedia.

That would be brain-suicide, to me at least. What makes MGS 4 such a satisfying game is to see what happens to all of your favorite (and happily hated) characters in what is basically the beautiful crescendo for this series. To me, that's like saying you can fully appreciate the Matrix Trilogy by ONLY watching the Matrix Revolutions, which we all know you can't8)
Nah it's allright, I played the 2nd one first and still haven't played the 1st onebut the 1st one focuses on the story of Altair and the back-ground story of Desmond and the 2nd one doesn't focus on Desmond like the 1st one and you barely use it 3 times in the 2nd one and it's not cool enough altough Ezio's story seems more interesting than Altair's if you ask myself. =)

LOL your right becuase the Revolutions would suck if you didn't watch 1 and 2 becuase part 3 for newbies would be like "eh ?" lol but it would've been hott if they made another Matrix game for the PS3
It's not necessary, but it helps. I never finished the first one, so I was a bit lost, but they do a decent job of explaining the prior events. ACII is amazing and turned out to be my favorite game of 2009.
I got the first one for Christmas, got halfway through, and lost interest. Then I got the second one and was blown away. I suggest you do what I did if you don't want to play the first one and want to skip to the second one. Look up a plot synopsis on a site like Wikipedia. That should give you an idea of what happened in the first game. Enjoy. :D
