Assassin's Creed III for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

Overall, this seemed like the best game so far. I did, however, miss Ezio terribly. Connor was definitely good though. The gameplay was by far the best of all the games, but there were still some technical gameplay glitches that drove me bonkers (for example, several times I'd go to shoot someone no matter how many times I press the shoot button it wouldn't shoot...reload the game and it would shoot just fine...err).
I say it was the best so far simply due to its vast scope. There were times I could forget the main mission for hours while I was occupied with side missions and other tasks. I particularly loved the naval missions. They perfectly fulfilled my Sid Meyer's Pirates craving I'd been having lately. It operated almost the same as the battle missions in that game, which was awesome. I also liked the upgrade method in this game, allowing one to craft their own upgrades to increase item carrying capacity rather than purchasing them from shops as in previous games. As a matter of fact, I liked the way they simplified the shops into just one shop selling everything. I thought it made the game too easy when they removed the need for medicine by having Connor heal faster than Wolverine. I found myself jumping off buildings without a care in the world because I knew he'd be healed two seconds later. I really liked the upgrades to the fighting. There are a few double kill moves that were added that look sweet! All in all, the graphics were amazing and the game looked incredible. Its gameplay is really smooth and varied. At one point in the game I found myself looking back at all the different stuff I'd done in the game so far. I definitely liked the switch to a more modern, and more familiar time, but I have to admit that I miss the ancient middle east already. I wonder if it wasn't too fast of a jump in time. We'll see. It looks like this series can go on forever. I welcome it as long as the story doesn't get all ridiculous like the Matrix trilogy ended up doing..

This game carries all the elements of Assassin's Creed II with a couple of new tricks. The many recruit help options are fun to play with. The attack combos are awesome and well timed. However, while the game resembles Assassin's II, it doesn't have the pulling story line and gameplay. This game gets repetitive relatively quick with next to infinite side missions. The new trade element was confusing and seemingly worthless. The controls can get very frustration while Connor wants to grab on to everything. Fell out of many trees to some clumsy camera angles. Its definitely worth a play through but not worth a purchase. Thank goodness for Gamefly with this title.
