I've played all the assassins creeds and I've enjoyed them all but this one is by far the best one yet. Not just because it's next generation and the graphics Etc are much better, but their seems much more to do in this game.

This game has everything you've come to expect from an AC title. Interesting story line with a wide variety of missions, assassin contracts, a variety of collectibles, viewpoints (of course), wardrobe options. Hunting local wildlife can be an interesting challenge, especially the crocodiles.

Assassin's Creed 3 was a flop in my eyes, it just plain sucked for me. But the sea battles were fun, and it's like Ubisoft knew to make an Assassin's Creed game around the Sea battles and so Black Flag was born.

I have always loved the fiction that Ubisoft created for the Assassin's Creed games. The war between Templer Knights and a brotherhood of assassins that has raged over the millennia within history's shadows is extremely compelling.

-Pirating at sea; -Huge but intricate world; -Incredible visuals; -Edward is a great character; -Hunting sharks is as cool as it sounds; -Love those sea shanys

-less options in combat; -a few free running hiccups

Meet Edward Kenway, the son of AC3 's Haytham Kenway and the grandparent of Connor. Edward is a pirate that loves to be free, sail the seven seas and loves to live life by the pirate code. Deep down he is just a mere man, that just wants an easily (ish) life and to provide for his loved one.

A fresh uncomplicated & gripping story +Edward Kenway is likable & charismatic +Gameplay has been simplified for the better +Naval combat has also be improved +Huge open world +Tons of replay value +Beautiful Visuals

Running up the wrong wall/tree unintentionally can be very irritating; Still no crouch button

An ambitious start for Assassin's Creed on next-gen. The vibrant Caribbean world and bloody piracy shine brightest, while the only sour notes come from contrived series story beats and repetitive missions--both need rethinking for AC5.

Beautiful; vast open world; Edward Kenway is an excellent rogue; Top-notch side-missions

Main missions suffer from repetition; Assassin's Creed lore has devolved to nonsense; Very few actual assassinations

Apologies to those of you who've followed my writing on Assassin's Creed over the last couple of years as I'm going to repeat myself a little bit here, but for those of you coming into this review in need of a little context, here's the beef: Assassin's Creed III was a sprawling, clunky,...

Huge; enormously detailed world; Filled to the brim with things to do; see; kill; and collect; Stealth is back in a big way; Naval sandbox is fantastic; Freeform assassinations YAY; The cohesion and progression make for a truly rewarding experience

To say the internet has a big thing for pirates, it's quite amusing that we have never had a fantastic pirate video game. Sure, we have had games that use a theme around piracy, say Skies of Arcadia 's sky pirates or the pirate theme of The Secret of Monkey Island , but there's never been one game...

Fantastic game, have loved it from beginning to end. The combat both melee and ship is excellent, typical AC leaping, running and jumping. Probably only a couple of criticism's which I will state up front don't detract from the overall game for me, the characters could be a little more fleshed out,...

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag has little to do with assassins, but is the perfect direction for the Creed series. The pirate styling and naval setting are a perfect fit for the stealth meshed with free-running and pure combat.

+ An awesome world to explore; + Great balance of naval and land gameplay; + Searching for treasure; + A rewarding progressions system

- Forced stealth is rubbish; - Story loses its way a little
