America late 18th century, colonists, royalists and the middle of a new Assassin and where they show up, there are also the Templars known not remotely.
First, the changes in direct comparison to AC2 and its offshoots ACB and ACR!
- There would, among other things Pakoureinlagen now also possible in open areas, ie in the wilderness. Whether rock, a fallen tree trunk or directly in the branches to swing gracefully through the terrain. At best, without even touching the ground at all! Well done and especially in winter (keyword wading deep snow ...) not just a gimmick but even a very useful tool.
- The management of the Assassins Brotherhood purifies something and selectively enhanced. During the game you can take up to max. Find 6 more assassins who a swear fealty. These have now each has its own character and are no longer as before interchangeable. Each Assassin brings an additional capacity with which can be connected in series via the menu, I call for example, by (Xbox) "lb" to support access at appropriate setting my companions no longer the next target on but accompany me in Rotrockmontur (British soldiers). I am a prisoner suggests, perfect to hostile areas to enter unmolested. AC3 has many such small gimmicks well concealed and hidden!
- Seechlachten, here and there are zufinden such sections in the story missions! However, especially the side quest area offers a wealth of entertaining missions. The system has great potential! Once you're exchanging the first broadsides with the enemy ship is on fire, especially in existing "bad weather" scenarios revealed a truly a visual feast ... really really really good!
- The new scenario itself ... the "old world" has served its time. Colonial North America offers beautiful panoramic landscapes but has recorded significant compromise on urban architecture. In short Boston and the New York of the late 18th century, just at this time no real chance against Venice, Florence or even Rome Konstantin Opel ergo ... AC3 still makes it the best possible.
Conclusion:
Connor is not Ezio ... the old Italian has the Half-Blood still quite a bit of charm and character ahead! However Connor is also only in its infancy, you have to give him another chance repays! To my mind the half-breed is "too serious", considering the story course, you could say "no wonder" but nevertheless I would gewunschen me Connor at any time something is above it all, what is not can still become. Positive the Indian equipment from bow, knife and tomahawk, very stylish very appropriate, I would have wished that this kind of weapons more focus would be placed Unfortunately Ubisoft has the whole then slightly overloaded with guns, axes and swords, was here in my opinion to clear away potential. Even the last third of the game was not really convince me, all hitherto consuming narrated history strands end suddenly sometimes very abruptly, clearly remember the Ubisoft really seem proper scheduling problems had (keyword 21.12.2012). This then results in probably the unusually high number of bugs here and there an "annoyingly" the whole game on track. It will not unplayable but this realtiv large number for the series to date very atypical!
Fun: 5 Stars: 4 Stars
