I kinda wish that Altarie's(?) story got the same expansion Ezio's did. I would've liked to have seen a bit more of the Crusades era. I always found it interesting that the first game basically had you playing as a Muslim fighting against Christian invaders, which is the exact opposite of what many games, paricularly of the shooter variety, have you doing It was a bold move for a Western developer to do, but I'm not sure people paid that much attention to that aspect.

Uncle Mario sounded more like Capt. Lou Albano. Whatever, I really liked AC2.

Good to know the series gets better. The game play for the latest game looks so freaking amazing but the first game seems too slow for me. Mostly the damn horse traveling bullshit.
