I have spent a lot of hours playing the Assassin's Creed franchise, from Altair right through to Connor, and I have come to expect a certain level of quality from it.  I am happy to report that this high standard has been reached once again, if not surpassed, with Assassins Creed III.

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.

A great game, although buggy. Great storyline and hours of fun (40+). Has good off tv game-play but the multiplayer servers are deserted or are broken. The only way to play multiplayer is to invite friends.

Engaging Story Line; Gameplay; Graphics

No Multiplayer Mode; Online Deserted

Fun to play, great visuals- it's always refreshing to see copious amounts of blood in a game on a Nintendo console! Only gripes are:

Certain vital events from the American Revolution have become so iconic that they still loom over our collective consciousness. The Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere's famous ride, and George Washington's crossing of the Delaware River aren't just important historical events--they are symbols of...

Great storytelling that bridges two time periods; Exciting sea battles; Watching your homestead come together provides a sense of progress; Lots of historical and visual details to admire; Varied missions make good use of individual mechanics

Far too many bugs and other technical issues; Hunting is underdeveloped; Parkour and stealth inconsistencies

again the Wii U really shows it can hang with the big dogs on this game. I highly recommend it to anyone that likes AC3

Great Graphics and replay factor

slow beginning

Has arabic subtitles … this was not requested and not stated in the description. This came as a bit of a surprise - other language subtitles would have been chosen if optional

Connor may not be the most likable protagonist, but the story is riveting enough to make up for him. The gameplay has frustrating moments, but the fighting is entertaining enough to keep you brutalizing enemies for hours, and there are plenty of side-missions and extras in this game to keep you...

It's a good game that should have been great.

Cool combat; Good story; Great multiplayer; Tons of stuff to do; Wonderful setting

Free Run can be problematic; Lots of technical issues; Takes too long to get going

This game totally rocks. The graphics maybe the same as the 360 and ps3, but with this versions what you see is what you get. On the Wii U, the map and horse calling is on the gamepad. But only on the Wii U can you play the game on the gamepad and not just the t.v.
