After having finished the whole adventure and emotions of Assassin's Creed, I have spent a rather long time enjoying the special reward that the game gives you... which means having some really crazy fun with Altair, all before starting to play the second game of the series.
I loved the original AC so much that I was sure I was hooked to the series for the rest of my life, but now AC2 has proven to be a severe disappointment to me.
When I played Ezio's adventure for the first time, I expected to find a game similar to AC but more polished.
Instead, I find this Disney-like parody of what the original Assassin's Creed was. I do not feel like an Assassin anymore, Ezio is a jerk, the scenery is beautiful but the game is so story-heavy that it feels like watching a movie more than playing a game and almost the entire AC system has been changed.
The intense, heart-pounding and heavily sadistic battles of AC have been replaced by slow and boring combat, the guards are like sitting ducks, everything is softened...
What the hell happened?
Instead of having real Assassin missions assigned to me, a strategy to research and a mysterious boss to give results to, I get a series of mini tasks to complete and this Flynn Rider-like character so different to the ice-cold and absolutely brutal Altair that I love.
Some people have told me that AC2 is what the rest of the series is modeled after... please tell me that's not true.
