Assassin's Creed 3 The Tyranny Of King George offers a flight of fancy shake-up, but can Ubisoft's first two DLC chapters impress?

There are a few things that you need to know if you're considering buying Assassin's Creed Liberation HD. The game is a re-issue of a PlayStation Vita game released at about the same time Assassin's Creed III appeared on consoles.

Embedded deep in the depths of The Redemption , the third and last installment of Ratonhnhaké:ton's journey to depose a power-mad George Washington, are the seeds of an Assassin's Creed experience that surprises and delights: naval battles that pile on enemy ships, thought-provoking conversation...

+ Naval battles provide some real meat; even if your efforts ultimately don't count for anything; + Bear Might power is mindless fun

- Full of (admittedly easy) busywork; plot is as cliché and hole-ridden as ever; still a few bugs, ? How did Ratonhnhaké:ton's mom break into Washington's throne room without spirit powers

Assassin's Creed III: Liberation was released the same day as Assassin's Creed III back in October 2012 for the PlayStation Vita, and now has been ported to the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.

+Good Protagonist; +Good Combat

-Poor Story; -Lots of Bugs

More focused and stealthy than its big brothers, but this HD handheld port suffers in the jump to consoles.

Encourages stealth over action; Aveline is a strong female lead

A shorter campaign and smaller world than console Creeds; Looks like a HD PS2 game; Wearing bonnets is rubbish

While Liberation offers AC junkies some elements that will keep them happy for up to 15 hours, the game ultimately lacks coherent storytelling, interesting missions and memorable characters.

The Short Version: Bigger often doesn't equal better, that's the moral to be learned here. Assassin's Creed III loses sight of what made the first game and its sequel such attractive propositions, delivering an immense content offering brimming with excess.

Hot damn that's a fat content offering; The world building is superb; Multiplayer still offers a true; rewarding Assassin experience

But since when was multiplayer the best part of an Assassin's Creed game; All filler no killer; Too many directives feel like chores rather than fun; A terribly abrupt ending; twenty minutes of unskippable credits; and then awful epilogue missions

few people are making this to be the best game, its not. there is so much more they could of done to make this game more interesting so it wasnt so repetative. i.e buying and selling, being paid for contract kills or thievery, actually having a currency so your killing for something other than for...

I would give this game a 4.5 star but since i can i rounded up for it. this definatly the best game since AC2 and it changed the gameplay and enjoyment level for the better just as much. I really hope Ubisoft has learnt it is better to spend 3 years developing a game than to rush one game a year.

When Assassin's Creed Liberation was released on the Vita, the series' ever-growing ambition and scope seemed watered-down and constrained, despite Sony's powerful hardware. Sadly, seeing it on a bigger screen has only placed a spotlight on its lackluster design.

Cool main character

Inconsistent graphics; Choppy story; Boring missions; Persona system
