   Seriously! There too many trolls in this life! Ignore the idiots that keep giving negative scores without giving an explanation. I am a videoSeriously! There too many trolls in this life! Ignore the idiots that keep giving negative scores without giving an explanation. I am a video game fan PERIOD! The wii u version is better then both the ps3 and Xbox version. It has sharper texture cause it is at native 1080p on wii u while it's only 720p on the other two. Wii u's version is 14gb while the other two are slightly under 10gb. That's a decent size difference. Why do people have to hate on any console?… Expand

As an Assassin's Creed game goes it is a farly open stealth game that despite not being were difficult, can be a challenge if you wanna be extra sneake. The differens is that you can sail, with probely the best sailing ever found in a video game. Visuels are also impressive and though they might not be completly onpar with other consoles one tye Wii U, i don't care. Story wise it has one of the best protagonists in the series, only outperformed by Etzio. If you like pirate games, team up with Keenway, Blackbeard and Colico jack in this fantastic game.… Expand

I had a blast playing this game, but I do see how true gamers would get annoyed with what seems to be repetitive quests and side games.
   
   My only real complaints with the game are (a) the constant "Area Not Available During this Memory" popups when you're trying to avoid getting crushed by 15 ships. If it's an "open world" concept, why can't you access all areas during all memories.. and (b) the controls on the Wii U can be a bit clunky and glitchy. For instance, during one of the naval battles for one of the forts, I literally got stuck between 2 boxes and it took about 10 minutes to get out of them. That was super frustrating.
   
   But, all in all, I really enjoyed this game. I haven't gotten into the online play yet, but am actually looking forward to playing online to get to 100% completion, as well as to play around with the training modules.… Expand

When you start to see ships to plunder and go "nah, I don't want to deal with another cutscene of some simpering captain" you know this game is dead. Had this concept taken place in any other franchise, say Just Cause, GTA, it could have been great. Unfortunately it took place in Assassins Creed and if Ubisoft is good at anything, it's using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. They've been pasting the same **** side quests into every AC game since AC1 despite that being the biggest complaint for every game in the series. Besides that, AC has never been a truly open-world franchise. Pirate ships really need true open world openness. Sailing up to an island only to find out that it's just a polygon wall with a rock texture on it ruins the experience...over and over and over again.
   
   I would give it stars for its awesome animations and a great try at the concept (i've been hoping for a game like this for like 15 years) but for me it's incomplete. 10 hours in and I had to set it aside from boredom. That's just unacceptable. This franchise needs a new engine if it's going to do everything Ubisoft wants it to do.… Expand
