There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
As I read some of the other reviews, people mentioned that the characters aren't as good as the other ones. I don't have that experience so I can't say that. What I CAN say is that I enjoyed all of the characters I played as. I liked Connor a lot, and even Haytham. Maybe part of the reason I like it so much is because of the time period. I'm IN LOVE with the Revolutionary War Era so this was right up my alley (and honestly, probably a good place to start).
Some of the side missions are a little tedious and boring, but that's alright, that's what most side missions in games are. I still can't get one stupid page in Boston because I keep jumping to the wrong spot. That's not the game's fault, that's mine.
As someone who has played half of Black Flag, I will say I like these controls and gameplay better. For the most part, they jump where I want, but Connor does looooooove to go on railings and fences I don't want him climbing on.
Overall, if people that have played the other games dislike this one, then I need to know exactly what was going on in the other ones because I love this one.
My design and graphics roommates loved the graphics in this game too. They would just sit and watch me play because they thought it was gorgeous, so there's something to consider too.
The Good:
The plot is amazing, and the setting is historical and gorgeous. I got this game without any prior knowledge about the plot. I wanted to be surprised. I didn't speak to anyone about it, I didn't Google anything. I wanted to be left in the dark. I did not know the name of the new character, I didn't know the main enemies, nothing. All I knew was the box art. When the game begins you play as Haytham and soon you discover you are not playing as the hero. It was so shocking to me that I was playing as one of the games villains right from the beginning. The way the game makes you think what he's doing is good and then completely twists it around blew my mind.
Once you control Connor the game continues to just be amazing. The game's difficulty was a bit too easy once you get used to the controls. Most of the hunting was quick-time events or instant kills, and hunting took up a lot of the game. The story isn't very long, it's just some of the grinding and side quests that drag the plot along. If you were to play the game without caring about Achievements/Trophies, side quests, etc, the game would only be less than ten hours long (the same flaw that Fallout 3 had).
I loved seeing all the real life historical figures in the game. George Washington, Charles Lee, the Marquis de Lafayette, Benjamin Franklin, etc. One glaring omission was James Monroe (I think he might have been in the DLC).
The Bad:
My first of three major complaints is that you can no longer really kill everyone. You can still kill people, but only enemies. I know some may consider it sick and twisted to kill innocent people, but it's a video game. Especially in ACII one of the things I constantly found myself doing was running up to some random person and performing a stealth kill just to see if I'd get caught. The difference and most likely the reasoning for the change in this new game is because Ezio wasn't quite the perfect hero. He was a womanizing, pickpocket who doesn't have the same moral code as Connor. Ezio wouldn't have a the same moral burden if he just stabbed someone. Connor is supposed to be the symbol of absolute goodness. He's a bit too good and never really does anything wrong at all, ever. He, unlike Ezio, isn't selfish, thinking of himself. So, I guess he never would just stab random people, but for me that removes so much of the fun of being an ASSASSIN!!! There is very little assassinating in this game.
My second complaint is a the amount of bugs in the game. Upon initial release the game was unplayable. There was a patch released immediately that fixed some of the more killer bugs but so many of the side quests could not be started, finished, they lock the game up, the game would freeze, there would be floating characters, sinking characters, things would vanish, things would appear, character models would go all crazy, people would be standing inside other people, etc. The bugs were so bad the game was terrible. There were some that as far to my knowledge have yet to be fixed (unless someone's released an unofficial patch.
And the Ugly:
The game killed my Xbox. The Xbox is already a flawed console, but when I got to the credits after beating the game there's a bit of a narration (a newscaster type voice over). Right when that voice stopped speaking the game locked up. Reset. I get to that spot again. The game locked up. Reset. RRoD. The end. Goodbye Xbox. I repurchased the game on PS3. No problems at all there.
