Customer Reviews:
Ok game overall but great items! By T. H. Johnson
I bought this limited Edition because I love everything about the assassin's Creed series. First I will address what I loved about this edition:
1. The buckle is very thick and very real. at first I was afraid it would be some cheap looking plastic toy but it isn't. I can't wait to wear it.
2. The Flag is large and beautiful...I just wish it was cloth instead of vinyl or polyester.
Update note: ThinkGeek.com has a better flag on sale for $49.00. It's larger and 100% cotton. I now sort of feel cheated buying this edition for over 100 bucks and not even get the best flag they had.
3. The Connor statue is very detailed. Even has some blood splatter. A great edition to add to your cabinet.
4. The journal is very well made and the drawings are wonderful. It looks like a real journal. I wish the cover was leather or something but other than that, very well done.
Now for what I didn't like:
The game itself is boring. First of all the story doesn't even pick up until Sequence 6...although IMO it's really Sequence 7. Recruiting assassins is a huge pain and they're worthless overall. So all the trouble you have to go through just to get them seems pointless. I do like that these assassins have a personality but overall I don't care about them as much as I did my assassins in Brotherhood and Revelations. They can't even die and in *most* cases you can't even call them for aid. What I loved about recruiting assassins in the other games was color coding them into teams, building them up through their missions, thinking about which missions would be the best to send them on without getting them killed, I also loved having the ceremony. I do like having assassins with different skills in this game but they took away everything else that made recruiting them enjoyable so I just stopped.
Update note: Don't expect any assassin ceremonies or anything involving the assassin's creed anywhere in this game. The words were somehow forgotten by Connor's mentor. Very sad.
Connor is unlikeable for the most part. He seems to be quite hypocritical and seems to be on an emo "me me ME ME ME!!" trip. After a while I wanted to play Haytham for the rest of the game instead of him. He just seems very one note IMO. Haytham actually had personality, a purpose, and goal. I won't spoil you but he seemed to make more sense and actually had something well thought out other than "I go here and kill this person"...like Connor. Most of the missions sucked and was basically you running around fetching things, killing people, and delivering news. I miss the purpose behind the assassin order that existed int he other games, it just seems to be lost in this one. The map is large but navigating it is a pain. In AC2, when you fast travel you were taken into the next area. In AC3 when you use the map to fast travel you get a loading screen that takes you to the "gates" of the area you want to go in, then another loading screen to get there. It gets annoying.
The sea battles were great and I loved sailing! But it does get old after a while as you hit the invisible wall often. The the bugs and glitches can be a blessing or pain depending. I've had missions where I failed for no reason, disappearing weapons during a fight, lost my tomahawk while climbing up a wall and actually found it laying on the ground. You can get stuck in walls, fall into oblivion et al. Sometimes the AI will just stand there and let you kill them.
I doubt this is a glitch or bug but pickpocketing the NPCs is easy because they pretty much just stand there and look at you while you do it. In the other games people seemed to actually care about...I don't know...a thief taking their hard earned money. Speaking of thieves...I believe there is a guild but I haven't seen one and I have no clue where to look as not everything shows up on the map. Also where are the prostitutes et al? It just seems like these are other aspects of the past games that I liked that is missing from this game.
The game however, looks beautiful, the graphics are great. But I don't buy games because of good graphics, I buy them because I want to enjoy myself and have fun and well I just didn't with this game.A real must-have for AC fans !!!!! By Eduardo
I've been an AC fan since AC 2.... Although I really enjoyed playing AC 1, the ending really lacks explanations... I didn't even know, at first the game was over..... Enough nostalgia..... Let's talk about AC 3:
I've installed the game, did the update procedure, redeemed both the Uplay and promotional codes... Everything went smooth and easy.
The series speaks for itself.... The gameplay is very similar to the previews titles and there are some minor changes that only add to the experience... Personally I didn't like the tomahawk very much, but its only my personal opinion.... I'm much of a sword fan..... The picture is amazingly sharp at 1080p, the stereoscopic is really great, but my eyes get more tired when playing 3d stereo games than when watching 3d blu-ray discs. The sound score is awesome! I really love all the AC soundtracks....
The packaging:
The box itself is a collectible item.... It's as big as a shoe box, with great prints and graphics....
The items were securely placed inside the box and the statue was in its blister, avoiding damage. The statue is really well-made, with great details and colors. It even has some spilled blood... The guns can be removed and although I didn't try, they seem to be able to fit on the characters hand. The cape is made of some sort of rubber, making it more resistant and less likely to break. The only bad thing is that the flag that came with the statue fits loosely on the rock and hangs to the left side of the character. There's no way I can leave it turned to the right side, ate the back of the assassin. Overall, it's a great statue.... Very similar to those Sideshow Collectibles...
The flag (real flag) is not cotton-made as I would expect it to be. The colors are great though.
The belt buckle is metal-made, and looks fine, although I don't really think I'm ever gonna wear that...
The included journal is really great and looks like a real journal. As other users mentioned, the covers should really be leather-made, not paper. There were some pages that were not separated from each other. Nothing that a sharp knife wouldn't fix.... But I happened to cut one page I shouldn't. My bad....
Despite the minor flaws, I would rate this AC edition 5/5.... I loved it so much I will definitely only buy special editions of my favorite games (as often as I can afford them....) it's a little pricy, but I think it's worth it.
It's a great addition to any AC series fan. I definitely recommend it. Trust me, buy it or you'll regret it!1 of 1 Review of the Limited Edition - Not the game By Anneke
You can find so many reviews for this game all over the place, so I'll just review this as the limited edition packaged version.
First off, the Connor statuette, the biggest selling point for the limited edition, is rendered in fabulous detail. It would have been nice to get a version with his hood down since most commercial statues and toys all have the hood up, but that's just my personal opinion. His weapons and hidden blades are also artfully crafted, and while they appear delicate they are actually quite strong. This is a fantastic addition to any toy/statue collection, especially for AC fans.
Washington's Journal was a last minute entry to the Limited Edition and you can tell. It's smaller than I thought it would be, but the worst thing about it is that the pages aren't fully cut. When you open this make sure to have a razor on hand to separate the pages. However, the content inside makes this a nice complimentary piece to the Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia found on ubiworkshop.com.
The revolutionary Flag, also a major selling point to this edition, is not as "authentic" in appearance as the version sold on ubiworkshop.com. It's thick polyester with jagged seams and uneven stripes, but the colors are also very garish so it doesn't have the "authentic" look as period item should. It would have been nice to get in more natural colors instead of this bright shiny modern polyester. The uneven stripes and the "Made in China" tag might also be a bit of a turnoff for anyone with more patriotic leanings. I had intended to use it as a costuming prop so my opinion is probably harsher than most on this particular item.
The AC belt buckle is fantastic quality, with a nice brushed nickel finish and sturdy hardware for actual use. It's not available separately at ubiworkshop.com which only offers really over-the-top AC belt buckles, so this item is a must have for a hardcore fan.
The Playstation exclusive in-game items vary from vendor to vendor so I'll skip over those as I'm sure plenty of reviewers have covered them already.
Overall, I'd say the limited version was "okay." I personally couldn't use the two items I was looking forward to most (the flag and the buckle--the buckle being much too large for a petite woman like myself) but the statue is phenomenal and George Washington's journal is a fun piece for researching background AC lore. Overall the polish was disappointing (poor construction of the flag, and George Washington's journal still needing to be cut!) which is ultimately why I gave it a 3 instead of a 4.
