The first AC game I played was Odyssey, and the 3 hour intro was good but the stuff after that was just boring grind. So I started playing AC2 and I immediately fell in love with it, the incredible story, the beautiful streets of renaissance italy, the characters that I met once and I thought, well that's it with them but no! Some of them continually helped me throughout the entire story, and some of them just came back sometime later and helped me with something very important, and I actually felt emotional towards the characters and Ezio which is the best AC protagonist and one of the best video game protagonists of all time in my opinion. This game is worth every penny you have, and it is 100% the best Assassin's Creed game ever. BUY IT!!!
