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.

Being a huge fan of the Assassins creed games I walked into this so darn hyped and gee am I glad it wasn't all a waste( unlike you Resident Evil 6) Though the game does start off a bit slow and mainly full of cut scenes with double click "A" for a block etc., etc., but after a few of the sequences passed and we finished Haytham's campaign and went into Connors campaign the game sped up so much and Im glad it did cause I would have been hyped for no reason and we don't like that now do we.

Even though there are a few problems with the editing which they definitely should have improved a bit more and I think they were just in a rush to get this out before the holiday season. If yo were just to play AC3 just for the story you are stupid the gameplay in this isn't tha best but it certainly is better than most games that come out. 8/10

I do not normally review movies or games. But I felt i had to with this one.

For a start, it does not feel like a game. I think about 70% is just video and story. Not bad when you are watching a movie, but a bit crap when you are playing a game.

Loved the last few Assassins creed. But when I get a game that takes 3 hours just to get the assassins gear then I have to ask some questions.

I had to watch and play 20mins of hide and seek with some kids before I got to that point. I hate to say it.. But, Really??!

The graphics were awesome, the story was great. The gameplay was good, for what gameplay there was in the game.

Sorry. Just very disappointed. Any agree?

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

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.
