The Bottom Line:

"Almost, but not quite"

Well, let me put it this way... I very much dislike the new combat system.* (To a degree.) I love the animation, I love the new assassinations, I love the new weapon designs... I mean it's almost fluid. Yet I find myself stabbing an opponent multiple times just to watch him shrug it off and shove a bayonet towards my way. My only dissagreement with this game is that the combat system leads me to thing these three things. 1.) Italians are better at making guns? 2.) When did we lost the touch to make medicine? 3.) British soldiers were trained to not die when stabbed multiple times in the stomache. Logic?

All in all Assassin's Creed III is a beautiful game. Hunting is a wonderous experience. However performing the same animation when killing a bear with your Hidden Blades becomes boring. You will also fall in love with Rope Darts. When free-running through the forest you tend to think, "My god, hanging an enemy sounds lovely!" (Psst, it is.) Oh, and on a side note you can also hunt with the Rope Dart. It'll kill a bunny in one swing. Reminds me of Skyrim's -Bunnies Slaughtered-.
