so far im having a lot of fun, playing on the "less ammo, more damage to/from you" mode. its not too scary but the survival part is pretty good
if i play it for like 10 hours i'll say its worth it

Is anyone into the Assassin's Creed series and getting Brotherhood next week?
I played AC II earlier this year and I absolutely loved it. I very much enjoyed exploring the different cities in Italy for one and the gameplay was fantastic. I tried out the first game after I played AC II and it is terrible in comparison on almost every level. It was still decent and I am sure it would have been more enjoyable had I played it first. It was incredibly monotonous though. I am so excited for Brotherhood. Mainly for the story, but I am looking forward to trying the multiplayer and hope that it is addicting.

I completely disagree. I really did not care that much for Altair. I thought he had no personality and the voice actor was the worst in the entire game. During my first playthrough of AC II, I almost disliked Ezio at first, but his character really grew and I started to like him a lot. Therefore I am thrilled for Brotherhood. I also thought AC II's story being much more personal to the main character made for a much better game aside from the gameplay being awesome.
So, were you saying you are not buying Brotherhood straight away or are you waiting for the actual AC III to come out in a couple of years?

i thought altair was better, i agree with you that ezio grew on me, but he seemed like a regular guy thrust into the position of legendary assassin, whereas altair was the man. he was the best, hands down.
and yeah i am not interested in this side story honestly, i havent followed it much, just seems unnessecary to me. and plus its rare i play online so that isnt a selling point for me either.
what i am really looking forward to is finding out the end to the story and desmond's involvement in all of this. that is the story ive been most excited about
i may pick up brotherhood down the road, but it is certainly not a full price purchase for me like the others were

Brotherhood is a full game, not a side story. Apparently when AC II was going through the creative process, the developers were in Italy and they intended on making Rome a part of AC II, but realized how huge it was not only in actual size, but for what they wanted in AC II. So they decided to focus on Rome in a separate game.
So yeah, it is absolutely a full game.
Also, I do not think Ezio was put into legendary assassin immediately. He actually started out with little fighting and assassination skill. That is why for a little while, you do not have all of the abilities you have by the end of the game. It funny because since I played AC II first, the references to Altair really made me think he was awesome, which is what made me play the first. I had heard that the first game was not that great, so I never really intended to check it out until I knew the codex pages were written by Altair, then there was his statue, tomb, and armor. Then after I played the first game, I realized I did not really like him and thought there was nothing special about the character. I will have to play the first one again at some point and see if I like him any better.

^honestly i cant play the first anymore, its too bad by comparison
i dunno, ill get around to brotherhood, but AC2 was satisfying enough that i dont feel like i need to know any more about ezio. i feel the same way about that DS assassins creed game they made after the first AC came out. at the time, i didnt feel like i wanted any more. i love the gameplay, but the story bumps it up from a great game to a "must own"
so with that ill say that thats my reason. i may try it down the road but as far as im concerned its an expansion pack about a story i dont care about. that said ill bet the combat is going to be fucking awesome!
