AC1 was visually stunning, and has kinda unique story, BUT the gameplay was meh at best, unbelievably boring... a racing game has more varieties than it.
it better have nicer objectives and the fighting style was too easy, block then counter finish off damn fast. one altair can whack a whole bunch of soldiers.
btw, SPOILER: the ending of the AC has led me to believe it'll be jap, cause of the japnese writing on the wall and stuff like that, it's damn potong stim of an ending in the previous game.
hope for ac2 to be much better than the first which let me down in terms of fun (first 2 hours was okay)
actually not just jap but a whole lsit of hebrew, quran etc on the wall at the end. i just checked wiki, i guess this will def lead up to events to it.

yup, on the first one, the writings is about the prophecy of the end of the world including from surah Al Zalzalah. They say the second one will answer all the question including about the writings on the wall.
