Designed from the ground up over more than two years, Assassin’s Creed III takes one of gaming’s most beloved franchises to new heights. The year is 1775. The American colonies are about to revolt. You are Connor, an assassin who has sworn to secure liberty for his people and his nation. To do so, you will hunt your enemies across a staggeringly large, open, and realistic world. You will unleash your lethal skills in a violent quest that will take you from chaotic city streets to blood-soaked battlefields in the hostile American wilderness and beyond.

The Wii U version of Assassin’s Creed III doesn’t endanger what has made the game a masterpiece, and adds a few neat tricks of its own. The GamePad’s map and horse calling features are useful tools that you’ll enjoy, and being able to play it away from the television can’t be understated. If you’re going to purchase Assassin’s Creed III for a console, the Wii U version is the king of the hill.
Assassin’s Creed III is a beautiful, sprawling adventure that proves to be one of the most, if not the most, ambitious titles ever created. Just when you think you have it figured out, an entirely new element is introduced that enriches it further, rendering it one of the least repetitive experiences to be had with a controller.
It's a shame that the Wii U version of Assassin's Creed III is so prone to bugs and performance hitches; fortunately, the joys of exploration still shine through, allowing you to get lost in the bustle of cityfolk going about their lives. Connor's story is one of unlikely alliances and broken traditions; Desmond's is one of urgent decisions and past regrets.
