I tried AC1 at my ex's and played AC2. Thought the climbing was fun. Story alright except for the supernatural parts. Fighting alright, nothing too exciting. Got bored by the end of AC2 and had trouble finishing it because of that. Gameplay idea could have much more potential. I think I would have more enjoyed it, or was looking for an Indiana Jones (movie) like game, storywise. Since the original AC2 it has been milked to death and then even further. The best setting doesn't help you, if the story is stupid, the gameplay average and characters are meh. I always felt underwhelmed with the execution. (Also for later parts, where I only got my impressions on YouTube.)
