I had fun playing the first AC before so when AC2 came out I even bought the special edition with an Ezio action figure. It was a huge step between the two games. Lots of new features added. I'm not much an history guy myself but going into assassinating historical figures is cool enough right? And the whole religious plot behind it. I find it fascinating altho idk how much of it might be a rip off from The Da Vinci Code :)
