I was so disappointed by Assassin's Creed I'm not gonna touch the sequel, at least until every friend who'll buy it will swear it's good and sign it in blood.
Then I will only play it if they borrow me their copy or I find it for dirt cheap.
Honestly Assassin's Creed 1 was a very nice game, until you figured out stealth was useless and you could aggro and fight a whole town at the same time, you just had to time counter moves and even if you had 20 enemies on you, the would fight you one at a time.. and since you figured out that pretty soon in the game, the rest of the game was extremely boring and repetitive
