ProduktrezensionenAssassin's Creed III (Sony PlayStation 3, 2012)

Good way to continue your Brotherhood experience!

AC3 is a continuation of the story of Desmond, the Assassin's, and the Animus. The story mode is continuing the ancestral history of Desmond. While I haven't made it too far in the story mode yet, so far I have really enjoyed it. Haythem is a very different and very cool character. I found the opening sequence with Haythem in the opera house to be extremely cool and well done. There is a twist that was completely unexpected, although it made so much sense in retrospect. I've now just begun the story of Haythem's half Indian son, who is Connor, the hero of the rest of the story.

I was most excited about the multiplayer version of the game, as it is what I've spent most of my time on in AC Brotherhood and Revelations. The new characters are very well done, and the different outfits and facial characteristics you can give them is definitely an improvement from the past. You can now have 3 abilities instead of two, including a ranged weapon. I was disappointed, however, to realize this meant I could not have a profile that used both gun and knife, as I like to use for defense in Artifact Assault. They have kept Deathmatch, my favorite multiplayer game mode, but I was very disappointed to find that they did away with Chest Capture, my favorite team mode game in the multiplayer. My biggest disappointment in the AC3 multiplayer is that the "autolocking", as I call it, which was so much improved in AC Revelations, is back to being just as bad as it was in AC Brotherhood. This is when you approach a group that your target is in, point towards him without locking on, and press square for the kill. AC Revelations made a HUGE improvement on actually killing the one you intended to kill. But now with AC3, it makes me kill a civilian as often as not, just like it did in Brotherhood. I'm at a loss for they would have decided that making that part worse again would be an improvement. While the graphics are very cool, there is something about it that seems not as clean and clear as Revelations. I have a harder time spotting my target. Good game, but once again it seems that the Assassin's Creed industry has made a new multiplayer without listening to the wishes for improvements from their fans. It seems they're just going to do whatever they feel like. I'm not sure what the point is of now using the square button for everything, both killing and stunning, rather than square for killing and circle for stunning as it was in the past. I sort of get why they might have done it - this way you have to actually figure out who your pursuer is rather than just seeing a big circle over his head when you get close. But for those of us who will be going back and forth between the different games, it sure screws me up a lot. It just seems like a silly and useless change. Oh, I also feel there should be a much better variety of maps. I've always wished for more indoor maps since they did Castel Gandolpho in Brotherhood. The New York Brewery is pretty cool, but I've always hoped for something like a masquerade in a big mansion. So many of these maps seem to look very similar, as usual. I'll spend a lot of time playing this one, but once again I feel a little let down from what it seems like this game could be.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Fun

The initial loading time in the beginning is horrendous. But, once you get through that, it's fine.

I took the time to learn the controls and fighting sequence.

Damn fun.
It's similar to Batman Gotham City. But, you can get away with more in this game.
You can use the enemies weapons which is cool. Guns take time to load Wich adds the the fun. You have an arsenal of weapons to take out those fools. You can use your surroundings to your advantage. Like hiding in a hay stack and suprise attack.

I've only gotten so far, but it's a great game to play and kill time with i super recommend this gameVollständige Rezension lesen...

Best game of the series and the best game I've played this year.

It has great story that is complicated but not too difficult to follow. It brings to life the history of Colonial America the good and the bad. It brings some of the great American founding Fathers into various roles without filtering them through a prism of romanticism, as real flawed human beings. Native relations are a major issue in the story as one would expect with a half-British half-Mohawk lead character and the story deals with The American Revolutionary War, of course, but it also explores issues and ideas like racism, freedom versus order, the right to property, whether ends justify means, and, most importantly, whether anyone is truly good or evil. The greatest part about this game is the moral ambiguity of both the "good guys" and the "bad guys". Sometimes the lines between the two get a little fuzzy. Even the main antagonists of the series, the Templars, get to make their case, which is not altogether unreasonable or justified. *SPOILER ALERT* Connor's own father is a Templar leader, as he comes to find out. And, while he knows that his father is wrong, that what the Templars are doing is bad, he still sees true good in his father and strives to change him. They even fall on the same side of things occasionally and team up a few times in the course of the story's events. *END SPOILERS* The action in this game is awesome. Taking on a dozen guys at once, getting into kill streaks, using human shields from gun fire, hanging enemies from trees... the versatility of combat in this game is amazing and feels very fluid. The complex story line, the realistic portrayal of characters historical and fictional, and the real heart of the main character, Connor really make this game for me, but even if you don't care an ounce about the story and just want to get to the killing, you will not be disappointed.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

It's good!

My favorite in the series, Assassin's Creed III breathes new life into the series invigorating it in a way it so desperately needed. Gone are the drab brown and yellow communities we've come to expect from the series replaced by beautiful graphics depicting the American colonies.
Gameplay is fantastic, a sharpened more refined experience in comparison to it's predecessors. Sure, some of the same old nuances you've come to expect are present but overall it's a better game than the series has previously offered. If you want the full story start from the beginning with the original Assassin's Creed and work your way up. If it's fantastic, fun gameplay you seek, then Assassin's Creed III is a great place to jump in to an awesome series.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Awesome game for teenagers & adults

This game is fun and your child / husband can play hours and still be excited.
to take it to another level you can play it on line with others and this is the realy great thing.
I bought it for my 16 old boy which really loved it .
The only annoying issue that you need a verified code in order to play it on line, Unfortunately it has not been said on the product Description that the code was used as was mentioned on others lists.
so if you want to fully enjoy the game - make sure it has valid code. Enjoy !Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Best AC Yet!

I have to tip my hat to Ubisoft, they did it again. AC 3 is the fifth game of the series and starts with a new character. You now play as a Native American and you play a key role in assisting with the Revolutionary War. If you didn’t play the last few games you may miss out on a few things when you are playing as Desmond but I would at least play them just for the main storyline.

In this game you can still recruit people and send them on missions to level them up, and call on them when in need. Also the nice thing is there is SO much more you can do other than the main story line missions. You can do numerous side missions like take your ship out (yes you get a ship and you can shot things with it). You also get your own homestead you also can get more people to join it and once they join you can do missions for them and craft items (yeah, you can make your own items for mission and even make weapons).
You also get to meet a few famous people, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Samuel Adams. There is even a reference to a past AC game with an invention from Leonardo da Vinci.

You can now climb trees and cliffs, hunt and sell what you kill for money or use them to craft other items with people from your homestead (reminds me of Red Dead Redemption).
Over all if you enjoyed the past AC game you will love this one, hands down.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Amazing Story and Gameplay

I read other reviews about how there were a bunch of bugs in the story. So I was considering not buying the game. But then I thought, Ubisoft has to fix the glitches.

Anyway, I played the Campaign and it did not take me less than 5 days to finish it. It is really long, so if you want some good entertainment then get this game. I was always a fan of Assassins Creed, so this game is probably the best so far!

I do like overall storyline, but I think Ubisoft could improve on the Multiplayer. The game modes are still the same as in AC: Brotherhood. I give this 4/5.Vollständige Rezension lesen...
