Assassins Creed lll- Game Review

    Amazing. It's a word that is overused to describe something. It is, however, the best word to describe Assassin's Creed 3. This game is the biggest, and greatest Assassin's Creed yet. With the combination of life-like graphics, and great gameplay, it puts together a fantastic role playing game.
Ubisoft, the makers of AC3, created such a great story, with twists and turns, making the game really interesting and fun to play. The settings of the game are very compelling. There is great attention to detail, which is important in action games like this. The little details are crucial, because they make the game seem so real, and it allows you to engage in the game.

   The story of Assassin's Creed 3 takes a turn much different from Assassin's Creed 2's story. In AC3, the story spans two eras and over thirty years of American history, with great action through cities, wilderness and open sea battles. Throughout the game you experience wars, ancient mysteries, and risky voyages and missions. AC3 has to do with earlier civilization and there is much violence involved.

   The story of Assassin's Creed 3 is action-packed and very interesting, with a few twists added in. Assassin's Creed 3 is a fictional history game about real world events, and it tells us about the battles of Assassins.
   Desmond Miles, the protagonist of this game, relives the memories of his ancestors from the 18th century. Desmond has been in all the games of the Assassin's Creed series. Desmond is in the present, 21st century, and he enters a machine called the Animus, which allows him to relive his ancestors' moments in the past. In Assassin's Creed 3, Desmond relives Connor Kenway's experience as an Assassin. Connor is Desmond's half-Mohawk ancestor. Connor's mother was Native American, and his father, Haytham Kenway, was an English Templar.

   In this story, Connor Kenway is in the middle of the American Revolutionary War. However, Connor is fighting his own battle; the battle between the Templars and Assassins. This battle has to do with the events of the Revolutionary War, and the Assassins and Connor will fight the Templars for freedom and attempt to gain control of the newly forming nation.

 

Connor Kenway
Connor Kenway is the main character of Assassin's Creed 3. Connor is the ancestor of Desmond Miles, and he is Native American. Connor's mother was a First Nations' person, part of the Mohawk creed, and his father Haytham Kenway, was an English Templar. Connor's Mohawk name is Ratohnhaké:ton. When Connor was a child, he lived in a village with his mother. Sadly, Connor lost his mother when a group of English Templars had attacked and burned down the village. From that day, he swore he would get revenge and kill the Templars, and that is why now, he is in a battle against them.
  Connor is a strong-willed and courageous Assassin. However, sometimes he can make wrong decisions due to anger. He is very loyal to his friends, and he will do anything to protect them if they are in danger. Connor is an extremely skilled Assassin; he is agile, fast and strong. He is very skillful in the use of weaponry, and he is also a great hunter and woodsman.

  I really like to play as Connor, because he is an excellent Assassin, and I also like him as a person. I respect him due to his unfortunate past, and I respect his bravery and loyalty. I look forward to seeing this character in future games of the Assassin's Creed series.

   I play Assassin's Creed 3 on my PS3, and the gameplay is great. I've played the previous games of the Assassin's Creed series, and I must say, AC3 runs much more smoothly than all the other games. Smooth gameplay allows gamers to enjoy playing, and when you are in combat or a battle, the game never lags.
Also, in this year's game, Ubisoft has made one slight change to the controls. It is not a big change, however it makes quite a big difference. In previous Assassin's Creed games, you would have to hold the right trigger and the X button to climb. An issue that was frustrating in previous games was the climbing problem. Due to these controls, it would be hard to climb, and sometimes you would fall off and kill yourself. Fortunately, in this year's game all you have to do to climb, is simply hold the right trigger. Now, I find these controls more comfortable and easier to use, but that's my opinion. Other than those two small but important factors, nothing else has changed from the previous games.
  All the other controls are fairly straight-forward and basic. The left analog stick is to move around, and the right one is to move the camera around. To fight, you press the square button, and the circle button to perform different moves and skills.

   I think that the best part of Assassin's Creed is Connor Kenway's "Power of the Wolf" ability. This isn't really a "best part" but it is a new ability introduced to the Assassin's Creed series. I think that this Wolf Mode is the best ability of the game. This ability gives Connor the agility, strength and hunting skills of a wolf. Connor Kenway is part of a pack of wolves, and he wears a "Wolf Cloak" which allows him to turn invisible and assassinate enemies.

  I think that there is no specific worst part or Assassin's Creed 3, but there are a few issues in general. When there are short scenes of dialogue, it doesn't keep me interested. I find that the scenes come up much too frequently, which is disturbing while playing the game. Also, when starting up the game, it takes an extremely long time to load. Despite those small disadvantages, I still really like Assassin's Creed 3.

   Assassin's Creed 3 is the fifth installment of the Assassin's Creed 3 series, and in my opinion it is the best of the series. This video game is fun, action-packed, and thrilling. The graphics and animation couldn't be more realistic, and the gameplay is fantastic. The unbelievable amount of game content there is, makes this game very addictive. The story of Assassin's Creed 3 is very engaging and interesting. Ubisoft spent nearly three years developing and working on this video game, and the time and effort really shows that AC3 is a spectacular game.
  In relation to this, there is news of an upcoming Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. I have my hopes up for this game and I really look forward to playing it.

I rate Assassin's Creed 3 an outstanding 9/10.
