How do you feel Assassin's Creed improved from the 1st to the 2nd game?

Actually, I believe Assassin's Creed 3 has been in development since Assassin's Creed 2. Though Brotherhood and Revelations are yearly releases, as they weren't much different from Assassin's Creed 2. Assassin's Creed 3 has changed and improved A LOT from
past games. Can't really consider it a yearly release game. Been in development since 2009!

Assassin's Creed. I lost interest after the 2nd one. Dont see how Saints Row is the greediest. Its not like they come out with a game every year.

I've played all of the Assassin's Creed games besides the latest one Revelations and the 1st one.

on my 2nd play through i saved the assassination missions until last but you have to do the 1st one to continue the story and with saving the other assassinations until last with the 16 mill from the last mission i managed to get 139 mill with the other
assassination missions ....... hope this helps mate

I haven't played Assassin's Creed 3, but in general I feel like the story telling of the past Assassin's Creed games benefited from the slower start. Assassin's Creed 2 starts slow, but becomes epic and I think was one of the best games of this generation.
I agree I do miss old school manuals where they'd set things up so you don't go in the game cold. Seems like Rockstar is the only company that cares about manuals.
