    So I never played an assassin's creed game, and since the second seems to be vastly superior to 1 and it's on sale - Should I make this jump into assassin's creed to possibly get me prepped for the PC port of brotherhood? ;o
     
    I should add I do have a controller for the PC for games like this

    Obviously. It is vastly superior to the first one, no doubt about it. If you could play it before ACII, you'd appreciate a lot more the upgrades of the sequel, but still, even if it's your first AC game, you'll love it. Story-wise, just look at a playthrough in YouTube if you want to know exactly what happened in the first, but I guess the brief intro they give you at the start of the game should be enough to fill you in in the basic plot of the series.

    If your PC can run it, then you should definitely get it. It's great.

    Yesm, yes, oui, si....I  played the first, thought t was okay at best, last Christmas I saw it on for 30 bucks at Gamestop for some sale, so I grab it thinking, I'll just whip through, do the minimum and get good trade value...did not happen that way...I platinumed the fucker and played the DLC, that game is amazing! It made everything that was promised about the first one, that failed, a reality.  
     
    It also improved the pacing greatly. I say do it! :P

    Just remember that the PC version has Ubisoft's notorious DRM that requires a constant internet connection.

    Sounds annoying, then again I think the last time my PC was off the internet was 4 years ago when we changed the ancient router.

    @Chaossebba: The question here is "Why shouldn't you?". Go and buy that great game, sir. And it plays great with keyboard+mouse. Unless you're one of those controller freaks.

    I just love the fact that you had a general consensus after two votes.

    @W0lfbl1tzers: AC2 - 2 votes - makes perfect sense to me! =P
     
    But that's only because this should be a yes yes yes without even having to ask! =P Did you buy it yet? Did you play it yet?!

    @Erzs: I completely agree. I just thought it was funny that that's what a general consensus can be.

    This game was easily my favourite game of last year (even though technically I didn't finish it till this year.) Story was the best and I loved Ezio. Italia!
