I am trying to warn you not to buy this product. I bought this thinking it was a good price and would work so far it hasn't worked. I have a Skyrim disk and it is scratched to bits.

Play-Asia did good job this time by sending this on early at its best.

Gameplay same old same old Assassin's Creed- Boat combat is on of the best mechanics in gaming of the last couple years- The ability to free roam around in boats, collect buried treasure, fight legendary ships, take on fleets of ships- Story is fantastic- Pirate genre is a PLUS.
