Assassin's Creed 1 and 2

Greetings, Assassin’s Creed is a game series currently holding four games of which I have played the first two.  The original starts with Desmond Myles being captured by an organisation who attach him to a machine named the Animus, the equipment allows Desmond to remember the thoughts of his ancestors. He is taken back to an Assassin called Altiar in the days of the Holy war who faces the enemies of the Assassin’s Creed, the Templars. Altiar’s killings uncover a powerful weapon, through the memories the organisation, who are the modern Templars, hopes to find out the location of it that the Assassin’s and Templars are fighting over. The game play is quite repetitive but is still enjoyable, for instance the hidden blade is a unique element.

Assassin’s Creed 2 is set in the 15th Century, a few centuries from the originals events. At the beginning stages of the game, Desmond is smuggled out of his location to an Assassin’s hideout by an ally called Lucy. They have their own Animus in which Myles is attached to as the Creed is losing the war and is in need of new recruits. The machine will teach Myles how to fight from the memories of his Italian ancestor, Ezio. At the beginning Ezio is not an Assassin but becomes one when his father and two brothers are falsely accused of a crime and executed. Ezio seeks revenge but discovers that his family were set up and so through his connections finds that the Templars are behind it, searching for the weapon.

The game play and graphics are similar to the first but I found Assassin’s Creed 2 more confusing due to all the different characters, some of which are well known. The series is brilliant and should continue to be so, I would encourage you to play it. The other two games look as if they will be good. The sixth episode of the adventures of Fletch and Roman series three is up in Warehouse 17.
