Assassin's Creed III

The American Colonies, 1775. It's a time of civil unrest and political upheaval in the Americas. As a Native American assassin fights to protect his land and his people, he will ignite the flames of a young nation's revolution. Assassin's Creed® III takes you back to the American Revolutionary War, but not the one you've read about in history books.

I do prefer shooters much more but this was one of my first games for my new xbox so I love it. It is very fun but once you complete it, it kind of sucks.

I expected this game to be a much better game than it turned out to become, the graphics and the sounds were well done, but the campaign needed some improvement. If you are wondering if you should get this game or not, I would wait until its at $20.

i pictured this Assassin's creed a lot better but it is still good of the graphics they put into it. I do think there should have cut out the sail sequence that you complete in the main mission in sequence 13 but the action is really good too. Their were a few things that were different. you can climb through windows. Getting Rifles and more. I think they should have had you climb more walls and sneaking your way through. Sadly their getting their way to the modern age and black flag the new one is coming out in October may not be good as all the other ones if you like climbing or the stealth part.

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers
With all the anticipation surrounding a revamped gaming engine and control scheme, this game simply has too much going at once for it's own good. The story seemed pretty well thought out and relevant to the rest of the series for the most part. But the in-game features and side quests are absolutely absurd do to either the mass quantity of them, or the total lack of execution seen in them. I simply played through the game, forgoing almost all side quests. They simply aren't as accessible as they were in the previous installments. (Reducing your noteriety has never been more difficult, for example.) This made this game extremely difficult and borderline miserable at times. All this along with a redesigned (and now, highly flawed) combat scheme that make's you miss the old days when Ezio could and would kill as he see fit. Good luck trying to have that much fun in AC3. On it's best day, this game is an 8 out of 10. Gameinformer is horrible at getting sucked into the hype of upcoming titles, that they forget to look at it from an unbiased POV. I'm skeptical of continuing to play the series after AC3.

I do like this game it has been pretty fun I love the story but it's just not like all the other assassins creeds where I felt like I was a assassin stalking the streets eavesdropping pickpocketing. But overall it is still a great game.

assassins creed 3 might as well as be the biggest video game flop in history. While the other ac games had interesting main characters, Connor is an annoying brat who unlike ezio only does most things of justice out of selfishness. The setting is great with great graphics, but heres the twist you wont know whats so special about ny than boston by the looks of the game, nope you wont see those things that made venice different from tuscany in ac2 here. The story is a slow start for lets see 9 HOURS. The game keeps you on a short leash and wont let go making this unforgivable. The story isnt spot on or off and opinions will varie based on gamer. The game maybe gorgeous and have a great sound track but what does that matter if the game is bland and uninteresting.

Assassin's Creed 3... I will admit, I was worried for the franchise after Revelations. While that game was fun as well, it felt... old, stale. It needed a fresh breath of air, something... new.
AC3 brought just that.
This game, which finally shows the end of the story for Desmond, changes some things. Most of them are small, and only players who played the previous games would notice them.
One change was that the controls were made to be more simple, to where anyone can play the game. Thankfully, it wasn't over done or too simplified. One example is that, in previous games, you have to hold 'A', or 'X', depending on which version you're playing, to sprint while you hold the right trigger. Now, it's only the right trigger, which frees up your thumb, while holding 'A' or 'X' would let you quickly jump over fences. This alone took me a while to get used to, but it is fine.
The gameplay has been refined even more, making an already great system even better. It still follows the previous games, assassinate the Templars and uncover their plans, kill them, etc, etc.
However, the plot can really catch your attention, more so than most of the other games. Granted, the new main character, Connor, could have been done much better. His voice actor, the sounds lazy, tired, without any emotion in his lines. Some of his lines does sound very good, though, and others would argue that his emotionless voice is for his character, being a Native American, but... it still doesn't excuse it. If it brings you out of the experience and the immersion of the game, it isn't acceptable. At least in my opinion.
The time the game takes place, though... It is amazing. I have seen very few games that takes place in the time span that AC3 does. It has its own charm to it, and it does it right. Even the upcoming prequel, AC4, will take place only a few years before this game (without Connor as well. To get a little off topic, I wouldn't mind seeing Connor again as long as he was done better. Otherwise, going from Ezio to Connor is like... having a steak one day and then being told a tuna sandwich is your dinner the next.). I love the time period, since it has not been done that often, and most of those not very well at all.
The game also has a ship mini game to it. This in itself is one reason to buy this game! It has received several awards for that alone, and is easily the best mini game out of all of the previous games. With ship on ship battles being done so well (simple as well, but again, it's a mini game in itself, and is fully optional except for one mission), it is no surprise. The prequel will also be more focused on ship battles, after so much praise has been given for this alone.
There are a good amount of glitches in the game, though. Most of them are harmless, but in some cases, the game crashes, the environment messes up, etc. Ubisoft has released a few sizable patches to help fix these glitches, one fixing over 100 actually, and they are probably working on more.
In the end, if you played any of the previous games and liked them, you will love this game, except for the new main character. Again, he does some lines well, but for most of the time he sounds emotionless, which is staggering after spending so much time as Ezio. I have not gone into the weapons (like being able to hang your enemies for a nice surprise attack. Brutal, but effective!), and using enemies as a human shield against a hail of bullets. If you liked the previous games, you will love this one.
Oh, and be sure you check that both discs are in the case. The full single player campaign is on disc 1, while the multiplayer is on disc 2, at least for the Xbox version. I have never seen that before, but it makes a lot of sense, and is better than switching discs half way through.
