2. Assassin’s Creed – Sure the first AC game did kick-off the AC franchise(duh) but I honestly can’t see the line “nothing beats the original” applying to this game since the game immediately got eclipsed by its sequels.
Its story wasnt horrible and the game in total was pretty good, but when AC2 introduced a more lively environment, a grander story, and a more activity filled world; AC1 was just immediately eclipsed and buried under the rubble by future installations.
