Assassins Creed 2 gets my vote all the time .

[kriegerdesgottes]

I just replayed AC2 yesterday and it was such an amazing experience. Better character, better controls, better setting, AMBIENT MUSIC, Just a better game all the way around. It actually made me sad that the AC franchise has lost it's soul.

The 5 sequences in Venice in AC2 are the best AC has ever been imo.

I can't choose between AC2 and AC3. Some weeks ago i voted for ac3 now for ac2.

Yeah...from the ribbon stealing to the repetitive structure of rescue leader, rescue men, scatter men...

Yeah....just adding my 2 cents

there was a bigger one. a 100 people or so voted and AC III was winning...

Again.......HAHAHAHALOLOLOLOLOLOLHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This!

And well, despite some heavy flaws in my book like restricted mission design and lack on ambient music, there are several reasons for which AC III gets my vote:

1 The story! Haytham and Connor interaction is the highlight of this series.
2 Great and improved mechanics in terms of stealth, combat and general atmosphere. Having addressed the "no music issue" by mixing some tracks, I have to say that freeroaming in this game tops ACI´s; and that plus the fact that thanks to pivots you can set the game at your will. Making the game, at least to me, hard to "grow old".
3 Unique setting, Yes! I know that Boston and NY pale in comparison to historic cities like Constantinople, Firenze, Venezia, Jerusalem and Damascus. But I have to say that NY and the Frontier are one of mi favorite locations, it was a really nice change of pace.
4 Very good side content! I find myself the "assassin contracts" to be out of context, but with the Naval gameplay alone Ubisoft managed to deliver a "game within a game" experience unique in this series.

Now that ACIV is on its way, I hope Ubisoft listens to us -which they have proven to do at some extent- and return to the AC1´s free approach in terms of assassinations among other "must do" stuff, or course.

This thread is old, views on AC3 were premature (since the poll was made just a few days after release) and people may have still been in 'hype' mode. How people vote now is probably a more accurate representation.

Those ribbons... -.-
