Assassin's Creed III

I've played AC:III through three times, almost all the characters are great, and I liked the size and missions on the homestead as well as on the frontier. Living through Connor during the revolution is such a fun experience, and you have so much fun doing it too. New ways to kill enemies are fun and creative; against unpopular opinion, I liked rope darts because I just thought they were fun to use, especially if you were perched in a tree and assassinated an enemy below with it, it would hang the enemy so I thought that was new and cool. The only reason this isn't getting a 10/10 is because the main character Connor is a stale piece of paper. The amount of times you hear him say "what would you have me do?" gets very annoying but the game and atmosphere makes up for it.

One has to be careful of taking the beauty in Assassin's Creed 3 for granted. This is a thought that occurred to me about 10 hours in as I piloted the franchise's newest protagonist through a sun-dappled forest glade en route to completing my latest side mission.

Because Assassin's Creed 3 is bursting with activities, my attention to detail had shrunken somewhat. I caution against a blinkered approach – stop and take in the view sometime.

This is because once one steps back and bothers to survey the game's environment, one can't help but be bowled over. In the brief moment I hurtled through the trees towards my destination, I gazed across a pine forest expanse, over a rock-encrusted river that spilled into a glistening lake by way of a waterfall dropping off a sheer cliff face.

It was like something out of a Terence Malik film. And not only is the world encased in Assassin's Creed 3 an intricately presented breathtaking marvel to behold, it's age and region specific too.

It's worth pointing all of this out because, by now, aching beauty and painstaking attention to historic detail – both visual and temporal – have become calling cards of the Assassin's Creed series. That's why they're so easy to take for granted.

The series fans will certainly love it, and those who are new to it, will be captivated by it, it's an amazing game, and deserves the GOTY.

Where to start really? Ubisoft Montreal just keeps getting better and better.Assassin's Creed III has been crafted very sincerely. Each and every cut scenes are well acted.This game is superior to it's predecessor in terms of gameplay length,story, game world, character building etc.The frontier is gorgeous, so are the cities. And for the first time there is epilogue gameplay. The fighting mechanics are more brutal and more fluid than ever, and the parkour has been improved. Although Jasper Kyd(Composer)from previous games was missing, Lorne Balfe did an amazing job with the soundtrack. I was looking forward to this Connor guy,and I must say he is SERIOUS(Like Altair). Mission variation is awesome. This is a must buy.

I make no exaggeration when I say that this game is the best I have ever played. I've been an Assassin's Creed fan since I played AC2 two years back. It has since been my favourite and in my view the most impressive. That was until I played this game.

This game is a revolution of gaming in of itself. The mechanics are brilliant, as are the graphics, soundtrack and voice acting. Like all AC games it takes a while to get into. That is true but (and without mentioning any spoilers here) it proves essential to the storyline.

If you are looking to play a game that will leave you stunned and fully fulfilled by the end...then heed the Creed.

Despite the fact that this game is rather old at this point it holds up surprisingly well went back and replayed it recently I was expecting to be disappointed after this long but the story is still quite good graphics are not too bad and characters are in depth and feel real as I remember from before
