Assassins Creed 1 and 2

[Mark]

Just picked up both at the used game store, and wanna see what all the hype is about. How are these games, anyway gang?

[Lighthawk]

Dunno, haven't gotten around to them yet. You'll have to let me know.

[Deepcrush]

Haven't played 2, but 1 is a lot of fun if you have a large TV screen.

[colmquinn]

I found em both enjoyable thought I thought AC2 was better, more corners rounded off as it were.

For the purposes of story, its best to play all three chronologically. However, you see a clear line of improvement game by game. I prefered the setting and storyline of two, 16th century Italy is one of my favourite eras and somehow it all sounds better when everyones got a temper and are Italian. But they are all good.

[Mark]

Eh? Are these all different characters or something?

Will they ever get guns?

[Reliant121]

AC 1 has different characters to AC's 2 And 3/Brotherhood. As for guns...you'll find out in later ones (:

I decided I'm not gonna use the cheatguide. But I gotta know, what is the signifagence of hitting all those "viewpoints", and whats with the mass of flags all over???

[Reliant121]

The flags, I have no idea, never really been much of a point of contention for me. The viewpoints however are essential. They reveal an area of the map around them, giving you the views of everything in that local area.

Diving off of them has given a whole new meaning to "rolling in the hay", lol.

[Sionnach Glic]

Good thing someone keeps dumping piles of hay next to giant towers.

I've not picked up the second game yet, but I enjoyed the first game. My only complaint with it was that it got a bit repetetive towards the end, as the information gathering side-missions had little variation. Also, without going into spoilers, I'll just say that the last boss of the game was rather jarring in how you fight him.

I'm fighting the group in Jerusalem as having some trouble. I barely survived getting jumped by that guys goons, then when I follow him out onto the street, more goons show up, and help him escape. Suggestions anyone?
