I bought AC2. My friend now says I "Have" to play 1 to get the entire storyline understood? Without spoiling it, should I really start from the first?

It depends on you.I think it's not necessary you have to play AC1 if you only play AC2.But if you play the Ezio trilogy you'd better paly the AC1

No you do not, it plays the same. To understand the story then yes but we played them out of order and enjoyed them all very much.

The assassin portion of the game is separate, but the character in the game that they go into his mind to unlock the memories of the past assassin is the same. There are some elements that you may not fully understand, but you can easily youtube the story videos and get caught up. It's a bit repetitive after a while, but it's still a decent game. AC revelations has the first game packaged with it for free. Maybe pick it up too?

No. You can keep playing and do side quests and stuff you didn't finish like Downloadable-Content but you can't replay the story unless you start fresh

Yes You will have to restart from the beginning and no you cannot play previous saved from the original but make sure if you do get this excellent game you install the 2nd cd first before playing the 1st because there's a lot of different stuff on the the 2nd that doesn't include the 1st. I learned the hard way lol had to restart but this game is the best even tho I completed it about 3 times but its a lot to discover.

That's the beauty of this game. This game is intended for new and old One Piece fans! You won't feel lost at all. You'll learn along the way, which character is which. =D

I feel as though age varies with this game (and previous versions). I am 22 and love playing AC, and have since I was 12. All age groups can play given that it doesn't have a difficult story line or controls. I would even venture to say that children as young as 7 or 8 could play AC. Hope this helps a little.

The other games aren't separate downloads. Just open Traitor Soul, make your character etc.., and then once you start playing you will start out in the Temple of Fate and have the option to go to the town of Grove (Game 1), the outpost of Druantia (Game 2), or the Outpost of Typhon. Unfortunately the Town of Grove isn't exactly like the original Fate (you'll notice the differences in monsters, your pet, merchandise, etc..) which irked me at first, but once you get used to them they're pretty neat.

I don't believe that this game was meant to be AC at all. There was some hype and some rumors that both series are somehow tied together, but I didn't see it. That said, there are some similarities in the side missions because we are dealing with the same creators, so why not reuse some of that stuff? The only other similarities are in how you jump over some obstacles. The animation when doing so is very similar to AC, but that's about it.

I tried to use an Xbox controller but it was really weird (for example, clicking in the stick will pause the game). But I've only tried Assassin's creed one I don't know if its better on assassin's creed two but in my opinion its much easier and better using keyboard and mouse.

The Problem for you and Others,is Amazon should have put or shown the back of the Box as well ,to answer; yes and no,let me explain; Quoted from the box; then it will answer almost any question; From the box; Tomb of the Lost Adventurer , 6 outfits for Lara ( nothing sexy ) kind of ugly(my opinion) ,8 Multiplayer Maps, 6 Multiplayer weapons ( that is what you asked specifically) 4 Multiplayer characters . so once you have certain levels in multiplayer you can attain these ,need be,play on single person or private .BUT; note the downloads are not in the disc you must REDEEM 8 long codes to, get these items ,you start with nothing and work your way up .(Spoilers Ahead) the weapon or pistol is simply that in single player and you must find parts or earn them as you level up in the game ,different areas,etc.. If you have the game and like it then ,i wouldn't even get this,the only reason i did ,i have been collecting Tomb Raider or Lara Croft items Many years,this kind of ticked me off when they could have included these items on the disc for a G.O.T.Y. ,all companies are lazy and stingy now..hope i helped some..Later....

It's alright as a single player. I didn't enjoy it as much as I did the first one though. I got bored about a third of the way through and quit playing. I think if I had co-oped it I would have stuck with it longer.

It's only mentioned. Unlike the first game where the Matrix changes hands into Optimus' for the first time; this game focuses on the actual Fall of their home planet. Optimus stays the Prime and despite not hearing anything about a third game there could easily be one if they feel the need to make it. If your an old fan it will please you with how they molded the story, if a new fan you will love it the same. The biggest suggestion to make for anyone is to search the levels, find the 'Easter Eggs', collectables and just general background details that give a boatload of extra depth to both game stories.

It seemed to work. All my open and completed missions were there. I did start Lonesome Road (I Think that's the one) and you have to complete that before going back to the main game.

Hey Candra, this is the first "new generation" tomb raider if you'd like to see it in that way (as many of the others have mentioned) I've played many of the TR games but I don't think it's necessary to play those old ones to like this one or to even understand it. This game actually shows who she was before she ever even became the well known TR in the other games so it can be a good introduction for you.

The expansions or add on will continue your game, and you don't have to start all over. I got the game back in 11/11/11 and I play until I was at Riverwood doing the side quest about the Golden Claw. Then I stop playing, and I give the game to my brother, because I know that Skyrim will have Add-On and I was waited until last month to continue where I left off back in 11/11/11.

If you are familiar with the series then you will have a pretty good idea. Combat mechanics have not changed much. Its a little more fluent. Better weapon selections. As well as armors. Naval combat and exploration is a much improvement over its previous release of AC3. All in all a great buy. If your interested in trophies/achievements there is a lil more of a challenge. I was able to get the platinum trophies on all previous games fairly easy on one play threw. This one took me atleast 2 to obtain all including the platinum.

All dlc for origins. Wasn't working originally, but when I got the update outside of Origin it worked. DA2 is just base game. But really Origins is just so much better. That's all I really care about.
