I hear ME2 is way better

Each loaded save gives you additional story/characters/items/etc. in the next game, relevant to the previous one.

It is repetitive sometimes. The story is great though and worth playing. The only thing I can say is to save a lot.

And if you think that is bad, you haven’t played Demon’s Souls. That is the hardest game of all time. There is no saving in that game, you level up and buy things with souls that you get by killing the enemies, but if you die you lose all of your souls, and every time you die, you start right back at the beginning. After the first death, you can get all the souls back by fighting your way to where you died, but if you die before you get them back, they’re gone forever. When you start playing, you’re pretty much committing yourself to playing until you beat the boss at the end of the level, or you’re gonna lose all the souls you got for yourself. It’s fun, but a video game has never been so disheartening. The first time you lose the 10000 or 20000 souls you got, you just don’t want to play anymore. Oh, and the absolute one thing I hate about that game is that there is no pause button. You can’t freakin’ pause the game at any point. Going in menu to swap out gear doesn’t do it, not even pressing the PS button bringing up the XMB. That sucks.

as I check now, its back to being $54.99 for a new Assassin’s Creed 2.
