Synopsis

Synopsis
The American Colonies, 1775. It's a time of civil unrest and political upheaval in the Americas. As a Native American assassin fights to protect his land and his people, he will ignite the flames of a young nation's revolution.

Experience the American Revolutionary War, from bustling city streets to the chaotic battlefields, and play a critical role in the legendary events that helped define a nation. Experience the powerful graphics, lifelike animations, immersive combat, and advanced physics for gameplay like never before. Use the Wii U controller to access two new features — track your enemies with an expansive overhead map at your fingertips, and once the fighting begins use the touch controls to change your weapons and vary your combos without stopping the action. Assassin's Creed III takes you back to the Revolutionary War, but not the one you've read about in history books.

Features

  • Take on the role of a Native American assassin during America's Revolution, and eliminate your enemies with guns, bows, tomahawks, and more
  • From bustling city streets to the chaotic battlefields, play a critical role in legendary events of the American Revolution including the Battle of Bunker Hill and Great Fire of New York
  • Experience the truth behind the most gruesome war in history: the American Revolution
  • Revel in powerful graphics, lifelike animations, immersive combat and advanced physics thanks to the new Anvil Next game engine
  • Know where your enemies are with an expansive overhead map right at your fingertips on the Wii U controller
  • Use the Wii U GamePad to always know where your enemies are with a larger and more expansive overhead map at your fingertips, and once the fight begins, easily change your weapons with the on-screen touch controls (GamePad not included)

Assassin's Creed III - Nintendo Wii U (5 out of 5)
The Best Ever!
5
Posted by: from Georgetown, TX on 01/29/2013This is the best game that I have ever played. I don't play a lot of hard core gamer games but this one is awesome!. Great storyline, graphics, audio, and characters. We got this game really because my wife wanted it. Now she is hooked. We both love how it plays on the Wii U. It is flawless. The game does have many challenges as does it has it fair share of easier missions. The game does has some profanity in it, which did catch me off guard, it was nothing that I have never heard before. Some parents may have some concerns over this if they are looking to buy for a younger child. But it is rated properly for the content. All in all it is a great game. It has lots of history in it, as does the previous AC games.

Try it in 3d

Posted by: from dyer,in on 12/12/2012Agree with others, everything is great, plus nice option of maps on game pad screen. If you have a 3d tv, play it in 3d. Under game options set 3d on, you have multiple options which should match your tv options, ie on Samsung tv can do top bottom or side by side. Also have game option to control the 3d output 3d output was pretty good, I would say somewhere between the TVs simulated 2d to 3d and real 3d movie. Game makers should take notice and make this an option on all games

Excellent

Posted by: from Hahnvile on 12/06/2012Xbox 360 and ps3 do not stack up to the wii u . Graphics and game play are so much better. Game pad is the icing on the cake . , it puts the gameplay to a whole new level that the other 2 can't do . Get this game ; you will love it.

Looks great on WiiU

Posted by: from on 12/05/2012If you are wondering how good your WiiU can deliver, this is the must have launch title for WiiU. The graph is smooth and the WiiU is quite a capable console to deliver it.
