Havan't played the other two, but Assasin's Creed is a great game, it can be a little repetitive at times, but it is worth it, especially for $20 or less.
Dead Rising and Crackdown don't really have stories that you would need to catch up on, but it would probably be helpful to have played the first Assassin's Creedto understand the story in AC2.
Assassins Creed is awesome. never played Crackdown. Dead Rising is garbage.orb_03_2006
Dead Rising is garbage. My friends got me to buy it and it was the biggest waste of money ever. It was traded in after 45 minutes of terrible gameplay.

Dead Rising is garbage. My friends got me to buy it and it was the biggest waste of money ever. It was traded in after 45 minutes of terrible gameplay. Yeah, I've basically been getting that feeling. I played the demo and didn't really feel it. So I think I'll get Assassin's Creed only. I heard the next Crackdown will be much better than the 1st one.
Just get Crackdown and Dead Rising. Assassin's Creed is no good.

you're recommending him Dead Rising? NO! once you die, you have to go back and replay an hours worth of gameplay... and Assassins Creed is pretty good IMO.
I personally didnt' like Assassin's Creed very much, and it used to get a lot of hate around here so I'd reccommend trying it out first before buying it.
Well most games it would be better to play the original first, however AC actually had a lot of issues that dragged the game down that's supposed to be changed and/or corrected in sequel so it doesn't matter there.
Assassin's Creed was fun but repetitive (like everyone already said. :P). Crackdown was awesome on so many levels. Open ended gameplay and never got old imo. You could re-ressurect the bosses and kill em all again. Never played Dead Rising but always wanted to.
I guess I was somewhat foolish to expect anything but a split opinion on all these games. I think AC is worth buying cause its like $20 now, but I heard Crackdown is quite short which is why I didn't want to get it. Dead Rising doesn't seem to interest me much.
All three of them are worth it IMO(Well... Maybe not Assasin's Creed). When my bro got his xbox about 2-3 years back I bought him dead rising. We stayed up all night and played it then woke up the next morning and played it again.
Ive never played Crackdown but I thought it looked kind of cool. Is it worh it? Its a sandbox isnt it? AC is great. Ive been playing it through again just because I love it visually. Its one of the best looking games out there! Ultimate Alliance two I hear is a let down. Will still play it though..
Dead Rising was awesome back in the day, but it seems like Dead Rising 2 fixes all of Dead Rising 1's problems and more. Sure, Dead Rising is an okay game, but it is more of one of those games with excellent idea, poor execution... I don't know, maybe it's just harder to get in to... I do love zombie games though...
Assassin's Creed was fun but repetitive, its kind of worth it for all the awesome assassinations you get to pull off though, but you could easily wait a few months for the second one as well.
Dead Rising was blah.
One series whose original I thought was a blast was Saints Row. I regret trading it in a few weeks ago even though I owned the second. Just really fun.
I'm a completist, so I'd want to play the original game before any direct sequel. Worth buying originals as far as I'm concerned, they're two different games.
Just get Crackdown and Dead Rising. Assassin's Creed is no good.

It's worth the 10 dollars though. There's plenty of stuff to do without doing missions, which as I remember are impossible.
Assassins creed somewhat repetitive???? it was veryyyyyyyyyy repetitive. Game is amazing at first than starts to drag horribly. Wanted it to work out but just straight up killed me. Got super bored just running around. Game has some great mechanics and visuals. Im sure the problems of the first will be fixed in the second installment.
Dead Rising was ok but the saiving sucked soooo bad.
Is it still worth buying games like Assassin's Creed, Dead Rising andCrackdown even though they all have sequels coming out soon?

Yes all 3 are really fun good games, that you can now pick up really cheaply. they will also let you know any related story that might help you understand a sequel better. that is probably more relevant to Assassin's Creed as there will be very clear links between the two games (the link is very clear if you have played the first game, so I won't give any spoilers if you haven't)
Assassins Creed is amazing one of the best games for 360 so definitly and dead rising is terrible and crackdown is very hard but it looks like you dont need to know the story of dead rising and crackdown
For Assassin's Creed and Bioshock I say DEFINITELY! The stories will be completely different in the sequels, so the originals will be a unique experience in their own right.
