Having previously played and loved the other games in the series, I looked forward to this as a shift from the norm but still keeping what made the others great...and it does this...eventually.
The main issue this game has is the horribly long hand holding tutorials. For anyone who's played the series before, having to play for almost 5 hours before they take off the stabilisers is incredibly tedious and I very nearly gave up as I was quite bored.
However once it lets go, the story comes to life, the action increases and the game becomes a quality entry that is well worth playing. Just keep with it!

3.0 out of 5 stars
The good:
- beautifully realised colonial America
- smooth freerunning
- satisfyingly vicious combat
- improved hiding mechanic
The bad:
- patchy control mapping
- unclear freerunning signposts
- awkward combat mapping
The ugly:
- boring protagonist
- contrived plot
- tutorial lasts 3-5 hours - way too long
Let's start with the great things about this game. If you want to stop reading after that, then you haven't got to wade through the numerous negatives to get here.
Improvements are pretty practical, and very welcome. The ability to crouch in long grass/bushes is long overdue, as is the ability to hover at the edge of a wall/surface for a kind of 3rd-person tactical view. Your assassin can also whistle whilst in hiding to distract guards away from key locations, and in general it all feels a bit more tactical than before.
Pre-Independence America is also absolutely gorgeous; wide sunlit roads in Boston, fields of grass glowing in the sunset, the vast, snow-filled frontier. This game looks amazing. Fling yourself from tree to tree (if you're like me, you're singing Monty Python's lumberjack song right now), branch to branch, cliff to cliff, in the most organic freerunning mechanic yet. It's also huge - a big sandbox playground to practice your parkour to your heart's content.
Combat is also satisfyingly visceral and punchy, though not without its flaws. We'll get to those later. In general, when it works, combat is a lot of fun and allows Connor to flow from one enemy to the next as a killing machine. Badassery, pure and simple. And a lot of fun.... Read more ›

Although this is still a good game, some people may be disappointed, like me, it is not Ezio, and the game doe's take some time to get going. The game is still ongoing for me , but it really is not flowing like the other games in the series. Some of the time I feel like a headless chicken, going from area to area , and getting sidetracked too many times. Having said all that I still do enjoy the game, but for me I look forward to the real Ezio. Would I buy the game again - probably not.

By far the best game on the market!
Everything about this game I fell in love with. Following on from the series and the storyline,
they've kept the core of AC but changing a few features like weapons and fighting sequences,
But not too much. They've done we'll to capture the essence of the native Indians and the founding
Of America. The landscaping is phenominal! No game can compare the artistic settings of this game.
This game really captures you in comparison to all the other AC. I am sure you won't be disappointed.

After falling in love with this franchise (the first, second and brotherhood). I was more than annoyed to see yet another game developer sacrificing gameplay and fan satisfaction (without which the game would not be where it is today)for a short game drastically different from the more successful editions by removing what made them great to begin with and adding more multiplayer by deluding themselves it will help them attract more players. If it 'aint broke don't fix it. Why must developers continue to ruin successful franchises by adding thing's people don't want? Multiplayer in a game about an Assassin and his personal story? Really? Where the hell is your logic that says that fits?! You won't attract fans of other games just by adding multiplayer, instead you waste resources and disk space on something that most people will have no part of and anger the fans that made the game so successful. There are many successful games without multiplayer, so stop adding it for the sake of having it, as if no game could ever be successful without it.
As for the gameplay, chase this guy, kill that guy, change your clothes, grow up a few years then rinse and repeat.

So, here it is folks, after 9 months of waiting since the reveal trailer was released, we finally get to see AC3 in all its glory. We've seen the E3 trailer, we've watched the gameplay, and if you're a true AC fan, you've played all the previous games hoping to see this awesome story come to a head.
So you pick up where we left at the end of Revelations - Desmond an co. outside the Grand Temple. Once inside, Juno makes Desmond relapse into a state where he has to be put back into the animus and relive the life of one of his ancestors - Haythem Kenway. Personally I find Haythem to not be much of a likeable character, but he does have some great lines which make you smile. After recovering a strange key, Haythem is set on a journey to America to find the temple, believing that the key in his posession will unlock its entrance. He helps save some tribes-people that live on the land, hoping that in doing so, they'll return the favour by showing him where the temple is. As you'd have it, one of the tribes-people (Ziio) shows him the entrance, once after Haythem kills an English Commander that is. In doing so, Haythem and Ziio form a strange bond and eventually they fall in love, making way for the ancestor we all wish to see - Connor Kenway!
From the start, you're introduced to the new mechanics of the game, all of which have been completely revamped - the controls for instance, which have changed considerably from previous AC titles. The visuals are absolutely mind-blowing, one thing that caught my eye especially was the open sea. (The water - it actually looks like water!... Read more ›
