I haven't played brotherhood in about as long but I got addicted to the game and played it for hours without leaving it which is rare for me to do with games, the plot took a nosedive towards the end of the second game, when the first was building towards a greater unknown evil, it was very good. By brotherhood I stopped caring about the story. One thing I love about the AC games is the setting, I don't know what I would feel about them being set in America in that time.
