!!! i am so sad now, i was really looking forward to 2. loved dead space. everyone says 2 is actually more scary except for you...i'll see what i think one day, but this is the first negative thing i've heard about it...

anyway,

i loved the commercials, premise, idea, style of assasins creed 1

then i actually played the game

but only for 2 hours
I can't figure out why everyone likes the second one so much. I felt it ventured too far into action, the atmosphere was predictable and not scary, the jump scares were telegraphed a mile away, Issac speak (I am a fan of the silent protagonist. Let me feel and don't tell me how the character feels), the story is completely unresolved to make way for more sequels (in the first you got away and presumably put everything to rest. Only the sequel opens it up with stuff you never even knew about) and the game felt very linear. I just move forward.

You know what? I wrote a review on it. Review

My only regret is that I think I gave it too high a score XD

Also, Assassin's Creed, while repetitive is still fun and there continues to be nothing like it on the market. The first one is fun and but suffers from some incomplete combat. The second steps it up and adds a ton of new things with a more interesting story. Brotherhood I feel is the best game as it refines many of the elements of 2 but continues to add and become its own game.

I played Brotherhood before I played 2 and I think it stands alone well enough. I picked it up for $10 around Christmas so I would wait until the price is that if you really want to give the series another chance.
