This third episode is meant quite different from the previous two. Already start with the scenario. It is not easy to navigate. It's about the end of the world of the famous date of 21/12/12, the Templars ... and a relationship between father and son tasty. And it goes under several times, mainly in the 1770s I let you discover for it is complex. What strikes most about this game is all that is history. Ubisoft has managed to reproduce with perfection all the time. The sets, the costumes, the voices, the music, everything is realistic. We really believe it! Real characters are present as Benjamin Franklin, William Johnson and many others. To learn about the history of advantages there to tons of texts to read everything about the time in the pause menu. A real encyclopedia and with humor in texts. When you will be in different cities (Boston and New York) and campaigns of the game you'll be amazed at all the work that the team accomplished. Talking about the map elsewhere. She is of incredible size! Whether the cities and the countryside, you will take time to see the end. They are packed animations with the large population. Living places. And it is so varied that for me the map of Assassin's Creed III is one of the playgrounds that I prefer in the "open world". The game is not a bomb graphically speaking (as a very small viewing distance) but the level design is so successful! We are left to walk for hours just like that to discover the surroundings, live with people ... The gameplay is again flexible, easy to access and quick. Our character is controlled with great ease, perhaps even too much because everything is done automatically. Just run and our hero will do everything alone like to jump, climb buildings. Just watching everything. What is fun is being able to climb anywhere on anything. To unveil the map, there always points of direction to take on the tops of churches. Several times I had the good sense to find myself in Red Dead Redemption with the horses and the vast expanses of land in the countryside. For weather effects too. But then the effects do not vary randomly. The weather changes as a function of the missions. Normally it will always be beautiful during the day and launching missions it will rain, the storm, blizzard storm (excellent!), Night. And ending the mission, we meet during the day. I do not like fighting. They are tiresome, repetitive and we only support full speed on the attack and defense button. Not to mention make fights against 50 guys at the same time well armed. It's a mess and not exciting. There infiltration side as a hitman to bring costumes to blend with the enemies and Splinter Cell like to move body and whistle. There will be two characters to control but again I do reveals nothing of the story, just that with one of the characters we will find ourselves living in the forest with her family where hunting will learn by example. These passages are very good but may displease the regular (s) of the series because the rhythm is different with little action. Some passages of which is totally unexpected. You see it, so much so that not to feel in Assassin's Creed.
The game is very complete. In addition to tasks that can replay principles when we want to do and challenges for every mission like killing any guard, not being detected, one will have to do side missions like picking up stray leaves, contracts assassinations, naval missions, releases, convoy attacks, hunting ... there to what to do. As a domain and that it is possible to improve it, we will also make people recruitment missions to enlarge the area. One of the great innovations of the game are sea battles. They are very successful. Immersion is strong. The management of the wind is also present. It is possible to improve his boat as a building shell, additional barrel ... A trade is available with purchases, sales, prices with the border ... You will be playable sequences in the present. Ending up right in New York in the 21st century in an Assassin's Creed, it is rather surprising but pleasant. Big downside: DLC! With that damn mode, the game is filled with DLC for solo and if you want to take, it's expensive. Sad as a mode that has lasted too long.
To give you an idea of the life of the game, it will took me twenty hours and I still have lots of side quests. A reasonable length. On offense for Assassin's Creed 4!
