Another year has passed, and with it an additional Assassin's Creed game arrives in time for the Christmas season. After diverting the series to the American civil war era with last year's Assassin's Creed III, Ubisoft has this year moved it to the age of high seas and piracy with Assassin's Creed...

Well-tuned ship mechanics that make sailing and sea combat a breeze; No extended tutorial mode stopping you from enjoying the story

All of the side quests and added content can be overwhelming; Story and setting not quite as interesting as the renaissance era

Stealth kills, air assassinations, a lot of headfirst diving into water or carts of hay. Those are all instantly recognizable facets of Ubisoft's compelling assassin-themed franchise. Addictive combat and a lot of exciting free-running across rooftops, is but a mere taste of what players get.

As near as I can tell, general fan reaction to the Assassin's Creed series hit its zenith with Assassin's Creed II: Brotherhood and seemed to level out with Revelations, before taking a rather precipitous dive with the release of Assassin's Creed III – a game that all but the hardcore fans found...

Assassin's Creed swaps tall towers for poopdecks, but is this the pirate game we always wanted? Find out in our Assassin's Creed 4 review.

This is a great game for people who like the Assassin's Creed set it as a lot of action. I only wish it would have come with both disk. This is a great game.

Assassin's Creed is one of my all time favourite game franchises. It's up there with Sonic the Hedgehog and Pokémon. What I love about the series is that the game drastically changes with every instalment - in Assassin's Creed IV the game has moved to the colonial era in the Caribbean seas, the...

Great game; plenty to do; excellent graphics and decent soundtrack

A little expensive; a few disadvantages over the previous games

Got it on time.
