Such a shame. Anyway, AC2 is pretty good. Give a try.
I borrowed a mate's copy of AC Revelations, which includes the original game as a bonus. After losing interest in the first one, I had a go at Revelations, which quickly began to feel like "more of the same, except just a little bit different". Don't really feel like going back to the second game on the off-chance it might have something magically unique that its precessor and successors lacked.
The first one sucked, and my coworker informed me that Revelations was really just meh. The second one is fantastic though and had me engrossed from start to finish, going in with basically 0 expectations - I bought it for like $5 used thinking it might be a good way to kill time, and I loved it.

I'm avoiding the other two in Ezio's story, though. I'm hoping AC3 captures the same magic that AC2 had.
