Assassin's Creed III is a brilliant game telling the tale of Desmond and Conner (his ancestor). You start off playing as Connors father Haytham (his sequences act as a tutorial teaching you the basics). Assassin's Creed III has amazing visuals and free running which allows you to travel fluidly from one place to another. There are quite a few weapons and tools (warning do not buy weapons as Haytham because as soon as you finish with him your weapons are lost) which all help you in some way if its capturing animals or killing Redcoat.
Sadly, there are quite a few bugs from little things like losing your weapon after finishing a weapon or getting stuck to a major glitch like losing audio or visual. Even with these glitches though it is a very good game which has an intriguing storyline.
The multiplayer is all right although you sometimes have to wait hours for someone else to come on. This is due to just not many people bothering to use the mulitplayer. When you finally get someone else then the game turns into a cat and mouse scenario with you being the hunter and the hunted at the same time. Uplay (which can be downloaded for free in the eShop) allows you to get rewards for completing certain actions in game.
Naval battles are brilliant although I wish you could just free roam on your boat as there aren't that many missions. You can upgrade your boat (for a hefty price) and have a few weapon choices. The physics are brilliant with wind speed and waves affecting your speed and direction.
The homestead missions are another brilliant addition with you being able to save people from bears, waterfalls, the army etc. They then join your homestead and allow you to craft items and get even more money. Also, there is an Assassins mode which allows you to send other people off on quests to get money. Once you complete the storyline then you get access to pivots which are cheats which affect you game play (allowing you to become invincible, change the season etc.)
Conclusion: overall it is a good game with loads of brilliant features but was rushed to get out onto the Wii U and has slightly too many bugs. Hopefully the 4th Assassin's Creed game will fare better.
