This game is outstanding! I love it! Great story line and combat. Been playing for over 46 hours and still love running around killing enemies. If you play this I recommend you use a good gaming headset with great bass to be emerced into the fast, fun combat and story line.

franchise has been one of the most successful of this generation and this latest game sees a major shift from earlier times to a more "modern" American Civil War setting which offers up some new and unique gameplay. By any definition

It's been quite some time since I've found myself this conflicted writing up a review. I've never been known as a fence sitter and have even been called "two speeds" by many of my peers. I usually love a game or hate it and rarely hover in the middle, but there are always exceptions to the rule.

What do you do when the enemy is bigger than anything you've ever known? What do you do when powers beyond all understanding conspire to destroy all? You do everything you must. Desmond Miles has spent every moment since his capture working to understand his past. Who are the Templars really?

Played a little at Armageddon and it was fantastic, despite only being able to preview on Xbox. Not sure where Connor was in the storyline at that point but was able to use a tomahawk (or something similar) to slit throats in a similar way that Ezio/Altair used the hidden bade.

Playing the new Assassin's Creed game is like turning to a new chapter in a history textbook. We've become Altair and experienced life around the time of the Crusades. We've seen 16th century Italy through the eyes of Ezio Auditore.

Beautiful visuals; Historically relevant missions; The rope dart

Some side quests are too tedious; Takes a long time to get into the main story; Lots of walking around

With the development cost of your average big-budget AAA game running into some $100-odd million, it takes great courage to pump that kind of money into a new intellectual property (IP), as opposed to a popular franchise with a well-established fan base.

In more ways than one, this fifth installment (of the core console franchise) feels like the definitive Assassin's Creed experience. Giving players more variety than ever, Ubisoft set out to deliver a gorgeous game that would keep everyone engaged through a long, satisfying campaign.

-Missions could benefit from a multiple scenario system -I cant comment on multiplayer as I haven't tried it -Its basically a re-skin of previous assassins creed titles, at times for the better but mostly for the worse.

-The naval missions are refreshing if you get tired of running through a lively early America; The scenery and gameplay slightly changes for better or worse (running in deep snow is annoying, storms feel authentic, and summer is beautiful) depending on the weather season and time -A fresh take on...

-The item crafting and stockpiling ect feels bland and more of a chore than a feature, navigating the menu alone can make you just want to hunt for the extra money; Some special items are worth crafting but most require far progression in building the homestead -Side missions are basically collect...
