If this is the first time you've played an Assassin's Creed game, prepare to be confused. The series is notorious for its dense, complex mythology and the third game throws you in at the deep end.

Is the new series evolution prepared for the revolution? Ezio, we loved you. If I could, I'd like to spend even longer rooting around your past. However, the Templars are fast approaching and the players are demanding a new character take your spotlight.

Stunning world to explore; TONS to do; A new array of abilities and gadgets that will have even veterans scratching their heads

Some exceptionally tedious missions mar the story; Occasional glitches that force players to boot up the game again; Frequent graphical glitces

Seriously. I read so many whining reviews about this game, the main excuse being it has a story. There are cut scenes, lots of them. For whatever reason, one I've never been able to fathom, apparently games that have the temerity to tell a story - are bad.

Welcome to recap city population you; Desmond did a bunch of stuff including sitting in a chair and then walking about a bit, maybe a bit of climbing and very little stabbing but hey that could change in the all new faffing-about creed.

Great game play; engaging story; Great characters; Amazing Naval adventure

Horse physics are little annoying; needs more naval mission

Great game read a few reviews that were a bit scathing but my advice is to try it especially for the price at present. Great variation and historical. Love the beginning and cannot wait to see what Black Flag on next gen consoles will be like

Graphics; Quality Construction; Great Value; Online Play,

I wanted to catch up on Assassins creed saga after not playing for a few years wasn't sure whether playing these two was significant important to the storyline WHICH IT TURNED OUT TO BE..

The first game of AC, a great game! ive been playing it for like 6hrs a day until finished, most play it to understand the story of AC

You can sum up Assassin's Creed III in two words: "Oh dear". But perhaps I'd better explain a little more. I loved Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed: Revelations, so was really looking forward to playing this.

The first AC was a very flawed game with a very interesting premise. AC2 tapped more into the potential and delivered a really solid game. AC: Brotherhood delivers an absolutely massive adventure with hours upon hours of engaging gameplay, but it feels a bit more than an addon pack rather than a...

Ubisoft heads back into the Animus to give us the third chapter in the Assassin's Creed saga. Casting away the suave-talking Ezio, a new hero steps into the cerebral lobe of Desmonds' ancestral dreams.

Love the new setting; American Revolution for the win, New gampleay entries; Tree running and naval battles are pulled off flawlessly, Although filled with melodrama, the narrative is interesting and constantly evolving, Multiplayer still holds our interest, Improved combat that is much more...

Talk about your slow starts, this one is a snooze-fest, Can't sustain the "magical" feeling that came with the first two entries, Not all missions stand-out; At times you're just going through the motions, While involved, the "Homestead" feels superficial
