Does the series get good again after 2? I ask because I really enjoyed the first game, but this second one is proving to be almost unplayable to me. I kind of want to know where the games go story wise, but they took the game play aspect I like, sneaking up on things, and buried it under a bunch of races, collectables, and jumping puzzles. And I'm not sure if I want to slog through this mess to get to the next game in the series, or if I'm just going to pretend Assassin's Creed ended with 1.
