From Revelations to Revolution
Building on the rich storyline established in previous games in the series, this new entry into the Assassin's Creed saga is the most expansive and ambitious offering yet, bringing tantalising new revelations on the ongoing war between the Assassins Brotherhood and the Knights Templar.
Set in 18th century Colonial America during the time of the Revolutionary War, Assassin's Creed 3 introduces gamers to a new protagonist in the form of Connor Kenway, a half-English, half-Native American man, who becomes unwittingly drawn into the conflict after his home is attacked by colonists.
Featuring a variety of significant historical figures from the period, such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, General Lafayette and King George III, as well as brilliantly realised recreations of 18th century cities including Boston and New York, Assassin's Creed 3 continues the series' tradition of bringing history vividly to life in a fresh and exciting new way, with scenarios rarely seen in the world of videogames.
And the action won't just be confined to the cities. Players will also have the opportunity to explore the vast untamed frontier, engaging in pursuits never-before-seen in the Assassin's Creed franchise, like hunting a variety of wild animals. You'll even be able to skin the animals and trade their pelts as part of the enhanced in-game economy. There will be a variety of new weapons to play with too, including bayonets, bows, tomahawks and rope darts.
In addition to the 18th century action, Assassin's Creed 3 will also focus more heavily on present day events in the life of series mainstay Desmond Miles as the ever-deepening Templar conspiracy finally reaches its shocking conclusion.
Features
Overall an enjoyable game that unfortunately doesn't bring enough new elements to make it feel ground breaking. Having played through the main titles in the series to date I was looking forward to AC3 very much. Although I was not disappointed by the new and improved combat and free running mechanics the missions within the game felt slightly repetitive and samey. This unfortunately did improve massively as the game went on leaving me feeling slightly cheated (It felt like the developers had worked so hard on creating the world but had rushed the rest and added nothing interesting to do within the game world). The pros: Organic believable open worlds, great graphics and free running mechanics. The cons: Dull and uninspired missions, repetitive game play elements. Overall a 3.5 out of 5, it's still a cool game but I would only recommend it if you are playing through the series like I was. New adopters to AC wouldn't miss much by not buying, this is more for the fans!
Assassins Creed III Xbox 360 After about 25 hours of playing time remains for me unfortunately only the conclusion that Assassin's Creed 3 has opened to me is that its very boring. The story consists of a baying of cut-scenes are interrupted by load screens and gameplay short passages. Felt is one of only this one end of the map to run to the next.There are a few bugs, I have personally experienced during my play-through. Which can be possibly resolved with further patches
