I rented this because reviews said it was a lot better than AC1, but I'm finding it hard to get started in it. Maybe it's because I don't know the back story, or I don't really understand the movement of the character (sometimes I climb a wall, sometimes I run up it a bit, then do a 180 and plummet to my death), but it seems like a minor tutorial would make this a LOT easier to get into.

If you're doing a 180...are you tapping B? Ezio will continue as far in the direction he's going when you hold it, but tapping it sometimes triggers jumps that are...inopportune. There's some advanced stuff you can do with that, but the game tells you about that before it becomes necessary. It tries to introduce stuff gradually as it becomes necessary to avoid having a tutorial stage... but some stuff would be nicer earlier on, I agree

Also make sure he's got something to hang on to at the top of the wall run, else hell just fall.

Everything about the backstory you need to know, you learned by the time you got the 3rd achievement/trophy. All the other stuff is icing.

out of curiosity, are you guys playing the ps3 version?

Muppy said, (88 days ago)

No, I rented it for the 360. I only use my PS3 for a blu-ray player and for platform exclusives.

Odd... I found it pretty easy to dive right in to. I hope you're able to get used to it, I found it to be a really enjoyable story.

Well, that's probably better than AC1, where it's "here's how you do it, now do it forty times until you beat the game"

Either way, new games are becoming annoyingly more and more half-assed.

@Mister C. Raven The story SEEMS interesting, but I really feel no desire to find it out - like there's no driving force to finish this game. I'm through two or three DNA sequences, and I just don't feel a driving, "I gotta find out what happens next!" storyline.
