    Assassin's Creed II

    Game » consists of 27 releases. Released Nov 17, 2009

    The second installment in the Assassin's Creed franchise follows the life of Ezio Auditore da Firenze as he seeks revenge on those who betrayed his family.

    If you had to pre-order one of these two games (360 version) right now, which would it be?

    I love Bioware games, but Dragon Age doesn't interest me as much as Assassin's Creed does.

    These are the 2 games topping my list and I'll probably only get one of them this year. Which do you think?

    I know lots of you want to say: neither! get . . . (fill in desired game), but I'm interested in these 2 games only - What do you think??

    PS - I'll probably wait for reviews of each, and maybe even rent them both before I buy, but I was just curiuos what the general feelings of people are at this point.

    Dragon age without a doubt. In fact as soon as its available for preorder from Amazon.ca I'll be doing just that. I'll wait on assassin's creed 2 until I can play a demo or something.

    Dragon age no question about it. AC2 is most likely going to be a great game, but I prefer RPG's. I bet about 70 % of the games I consider top 20 of all time are RPG's. That's just the kind of gamer I am.

    Quite surprised by the big lead for Assassin's Creed 2.  Liked the first one but it was kind of limited.  Not to mention one of the most badly laid out final thirty minutes to a game, EVER.

    I find it amusing that you're posting this on the Assassin's Creed II forum instead of the Xbox 360 forum. The results are going to be a little biased. 
     
    Nevertheless, I picked Dragon Age, if for no other reason than I usually prefer RPGs to stealth.

    Pre-order Assassin's Creed 2 since you get bonus maps!

    I loved the original AC, and I can't wait for AC II. Not really interested in Dragon Age.

    For 360? AC2. If you had said PC, I'd have said DA:O.

    Easily Dragon Age for me, even though ACII looks to have improved much I still have a nasty taste from the first game which so dissapointed me. Plus I love RPG's and missed out on playing Baldur's Gate when it was originally released (Partially age but mostly I didnt have a PC and was too young to realise I wanted one lol).

    Until I read some reviews of ACII im not going to get excited for it (even then if they are bad or seem too similer to AC1 them im not interested).

    Pre-ordered both, but I'd definitely choose Assassin's Creed II over anything else this year in terms of "I absolutely have to play this, the moment it comes out".

    Although I will not pre-order Assassin's Creed II or Dragon Age because of money issues (just fully paid off modern warfare 2) if I could, I would pre-order AC2. The first one was a great game when it came out, even though it became very repetitive. Dragon Age is definitely a rent though.

    Dragon Age: Origins. Assassin's Creed 2 looks like a big improvement on the original and generally a great game, but I've heard really good things about Dragon Age: Origins and it looks like the kind of RPG I'd love.

    Dragon Age with ease, mainly due to Bioware. Im sure Assassins Creed the sequel will be fine, but damn if that first one wasn't repetitive as hell. Just left a bitter taste in my mouth.

    I'm not really interested in Dragon Age. Assassin's Creed II, however, I've already pre-ordered.

    Only AC2 because you said the 360 version otherwise I would pre-order the PC version of DA:O over any version of AC2.

    Probably Assasins because Dragon Age would be to much of a commitment at the moment.

    @Nate: What's your point of this? Something like we're only "allowed" to choose one game out of two? What's next? Rock Band or Singstar?, God of War 3 or MAG?, Chocolate or White Chocolate?

    This is a pretty old thread, but iI'll still offer my opinion, anyway, just in case.
     
    Dragon Age is a great game, but I feel like it's simply designed for the PC, limited by gamepad controls. So if you can only get the 360 version, I'd keep with Assassin's Creed 2.

    Dragon Age, seeing as Ubisoft asked some reviewers to give good scores on ACII or else they wouldn't get an advance copy. Needless to say, I won't be buying it. Dragon age is amazing though =D
