" Assassin's Creed III " makes some important steps forwards, and some bizarre ones back. For all the greatness of the naval battles, forest free-running and fantastic art, the horrible UI, bad frame-rate, poor mission design make me just sigh that so much has regressed in 12 months.

This creed gives an already great series more cred.

Fully realised colonial era America to explore; interesting storyline; lots to do; improvements to free running and combat from past titles; naval combat is awesome; superb graphics and presentation

Some significant pacing issues; nearly unacceptable level of bugs and glitches; side quests don't carry much gameplay weight; control scheme causes some frustration; some missing features that were in past titles; multiplayer is fun but feels like an afterthought

When I opened the case, I found that there were two CDs, which from its outward appearance would seem like the game may have been burned onto them since the discs were not originally produced from Ubisoft (not sure if legal Pretty sure it's not!

The original Assassins Creed by Ubisoft came out in 2007(I just realized how good of a year that was

Good story; multiple weapons; fun naval battles; satisfying multiplayer

movement controls still aren't as refined and precise as I'd like; slow starting story

My son has been having fun with this game. He likes how you can climb up onto the buildings and play online with his friends. It seems pretty challenging too. It is somewhat violent, and that's what you'd expect with a mature rated game.

The American Revolution awaits! Having come off a terrific trio of games starring a compelling protagonist, and now with a brand new setting and hero, Assassin's Creed III had a lot expected of it. Could Connor's venture through the American Revolution live up to the hype?

Gorgeous world to explore; well designed animations; naval battles add a new element to the franchise

Odd pacing; shocking amount of

Assassins Creed III : When it comes to this title, I haven't played any game in the series other than the first one – which disillusioned me with the fact that it kept jumping back to the present day and I found that very jarring – and last year's Assassin's Creed Revelations which fixed a great...

I recently picked up Assassin's Creed 3 and upon completion I have decided that my opinion is...meh. The open world feels free and the environment itself is simply beautiful, however upon a closer look and an in depth playthrough I discovered the shear mass of holes.

Interesting story; beautiful enviornments; entertaining ship scenes

Glitches; poor interaction with environment; less than enthralling side quests

This reviewer has a confession to make. Despite being a fairly well-rounded gamer who finds the time to play many of the latest and greatest releases, my only full experience with Assassin's Creed is the experimental first game.

You'll remember the fun, not the flaws

Brilliant; climactic writing; Refined running and combat; Homestead a great distraction

Some busy-busy side missions; Economy feels a bit pointless
