Assassin's Creed III is a weird game to launch alongside Wii U: there is little context for those Nintendo-only players who sat out the other four games because they perhaps didn't own the proper hardware, and those who are invested in the series probably already picked this up elsewhere when it...

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...

I pre-orderd this from gamestop, while I waited for the release I rented it from redbox for the xbox360. The Wii U graphics are much better, faster frame rate, smother and sharper over all. The game play is the same but you have the advantage of the PAD. Which displays the map and objectives.

The Assassin's Creed series makes its way onto the Wii U. We review Connor's adventure on Nintendo's machine.

+ Naval combat is intense; + Tons of new ideas; + Fantastic story; + Visuals can be gorgeous

Frame rate woes; Glitches are abundant; Takes a while to get going

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.

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

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

Connor is a difficult character to like in some respects, because he has little interest in the plight of the patriots except as it relates to the security of his own people. He tends to act a bit like an overgrown child in some instances, lashing out at the people around him, then trusting them and...

The original 'Assassin's Creed' was a unique but flawed game that set up an interesting world and premise. Unfortunately, the play mechanics were not as precise as they should have been, leading to a title that held more promise than pleasure.

Despite being deeply flawed, 2007's Assassin's Creed was a damn fine example of the current console generation's potential, one that was achieved in the subsequent Ezio trilogy. But unlike its predecessors, Assassin's Creed III was a game that had few flaws to fix, no big problems to correct, and no...

Convinient use of GamePad screen; Remote Play support for TV-less gameplay; Complete version of the game

Sometimes muddy textures and shadows; Even more glitches than the other versions; Multiplayer servers are empty
