Why not give AC2 and 3 a go first. I got AC2 in a trade, which I don't usually do. Traded some movies, I think. But I was pleasantly surprised. For me, it's strengths were the stealth missions, the great dungeons that were large puzzles to traverse and the hidden stuff found with eagle eyes that were puzzles in and of themselves. AC Brotherhood was almost like and expansion of AC2. AC3, to me, did not have the feel of AC2 at all, and I while I have finished the game, I have not yet found it within me to go back and get 100%. What I really liked about AC2 was omitted from AC3, and it's one of those games that I found myself being angry while I played more often than having fun. I did not find the marine missions to be that great. They are uncommon in video games, though.

I'm not implying that you will share my opinion, because others obviously found it fantastic, but there is plenty of time to sample it's predecessors before committing to a blind pre-order. I am skipping this one, at least for a while.
