Yes. i'm afraid so. ACB starts off literally seconds after AC2 finishes. And you really have to see the last 2 chapters to understand the story imo

Damn it.
I got bored of killing crazy guys in one of the last chapters and haven't progressed much past it.

Just bought it for £13 off the jungle store, hopefully it will come in stock soon enough
Really? Its £20 now.
If you buy a boxed version, can you activate it on Steam?

on 75% got the Da Vinci Disappearance with u play points,all feathers,but there is about 10 flags still to get which are not showing up on the map,i have all the maps from the shop aswell any ideas fellas,want 100% in this game,few money boxes still to get but thats it.all main missions and side quests are completed.
i gather they are in the secret areas that you visit and i misse dthem,but you can't enter these again once completed the missions
I don't go for 100% or anything like that mate, so i'm not sure. I wouldn't think that they would be in areas that you can not go back to though.
edit- Actually you can go back to any area as you can replay memories, but you would have to search them all

Just FINISHED PLAYING AC: Brotherhood. Love this game, finished all 3 parts, and this one worked best for me! ... haven't finished all side missions, just story.

You wish.

Why would I wish for you to have it? I'd rather it dropped through my front door, ta.
Really quite fancy this game !
Does anyone know if their is like a trilogy pack available at a decent price or should i just buy them individually , or in fact only buy this one (are the others worth doing first or is this a better game in its own right) ?

Because that would mean the game is in development for PCs which we all know is not the case
As far as i know, there is no 'trilogy pack'.
imo, the nature of the story means that i would recommed playing all 3 games, and HIGHLY recommend AC2 and AC:B.
what i mean by this is that if you really didn't want to play all three, then the first one isn't essential, especially considering the repetition and awkwardness of the game.
However, to get the most out of the story, it is essential to play AC2 and AC:B, as AC:B is a very direct sequel. And they are both great games
Just beaten this, thoughts below:
+More of the same gameplay wise, which is a good thing. I wish more platform games were this forgiving
+Very pleased they retained the settling of AC2 (Renaissance Italy), fascinating stuff and they seem to have learnt to keep the focus on levels in that setting rather than faffing about in the present too much
+Decent performance 60-100fps
+Lairs are improved over AC2 in terms of having a bit more variety, a mix of chases, platforming, fighting etc rather than the excessive platforming of AC2
+Adding the 100% sync goals is a nice touch, gives you an incentive to play outside your comfort zone at times without requiring you to
+Few nice extensions like assassin recruits and a beefed up economic system
+Good graphics
+Strong storyline as usual
-Seems cpu limited as often I only had around 90% gpu usage but sub-100fps, not very well optimised for quadcore either looking at task manager
-Annoying 'home stretch' of missions that are all chained together in Sequence 9, I'd just got the sixth Romulus scroll but hadn't gone to collect the reward as the story mission was really close by to where I exited the lair, this meant I couldn't get the Brutus Armour until after I'd completed the game. Also the option to leave the Animus seems to have disappeared - very annoying as I hadn't got round to doing it yet and had some emails waiting etc
-Borgias boss guy towards the end was disappointing, I just pelted him with throwing knives (first time I'd used them)
-Game length a tad disappointing, only 9 sequences compared to 14 in AC2 and they didn't seem noticeably longer. I blasted through from Sequence 5 to the end today, Steam hasn't tracked my hours but I'd estimate low-20s compared to high-20s for AC2 and I've completed more of the sidequests in Brotherhood. Roughly one third of the viewpoints compared to AC2 and not enough variety of cities, you spend the majority of the game in Rome with the odd jaunt to Firenze etc
-Very annoying map expansion i.e. being blocked from lots of places with quest markers (e.g. Borgias Tower) especially in the south-east corner of the map, often you don't find out until you've run/ridden all the way over there. Also spent ages trying to climb an aqueduct to reach a viewpoint, turns out it is impossible unless you repair it first.
-Assassins felt anti-climatic in the sense that I assumed having done ceremonies for a bunch of assassins that they would then help me later in the game, you know, like NPC fighters helping you out in a big fight or something. But it never happened, so I don't really get the point of it (also very annoying having exactly the same unskippable cutscene for each one, gets boring after the 5th time)
-Bomber mission got very tiresome, as sometimes the steering would randomly stop working and I'd go sailing out of the syncrhonised zone (smacked of console limitations - tiny play area coupled with difficult/dodgy controls is a massive fail. In the end when having to take out two carts I used to deliberately crash to reset if I didn't take out the first one on my first pass.
Overall a good game, now on to Revelations.
