    This is a great addition to the series. I recently discovered a feature, where you can sync an iOS device to the game and get more information at your finger tips. Like for instance I can view the map on my iPhone and see where I am and where other things are. Then I can mark the locations on the phone and they appear in game in real time. It helps out a lot. The graphics are great and the gameplay is just like the previous titles. You wont be dissapointed with this buy.

    A Tale of High Adventure that meets Expectations

    An engrossing tale that uses the sails of pirate legends as a canvas for painting a tale to make any buccaneer proud. Freedom of exploration, sailing under the stars, battling storms and enemy seaman adds a depth of adventure not found in previous AC incarnations. When you want to find yer sea legs again, there are forts and ports to conquer, plunder, and make yer own, laddie. I am just over halfway through the main story, and this game is already in my top 5 all time. Just sailing on a ship that you can customize, under the stars or under the Caribbean sun, is a thrill to remember.

    Another exciting sequel to Assassin's Creed. A much needed breath of fresh air for the franchise. The new environment and the awesome naval battles will satisfy even the most demanding Assassin's Creed fan.

    I have enjoyed all of the Assassins Creed titles. Just started playing them on PC. Requires a pretty decent PC setup to compare to ps4/ Xbox one. Great game with hours of original gameplay. Picked it up on sale for a price a couldn't refuse.

    Personally, I feel like this is best best Assassin's Creed title to date. If you love pirates, ship battles, and open ocean world then this is the game for you.

    Good game with a compelling story, lots of extras to collect. The battles on the ship are fun but can get a little repetitive especially once you start to improve your rig. Combat control against multiple enemy's are sometimes frustrating. Must use Xbox controller!

    I loved being able to play as a pirate and have ship battles, all the exploration. but the AC story seemed a little light on the actual assassin/templar battle. it was there but didn't seem right for an AC game

    This is fun game despite some shortcomings. As far as the actual gameplay goes, it's really versatile, because you can choose to take a lengthy approach to the game with all the side activities and exploration throughout the beautiful environment. Head over to YouTube and watch IGNs video review, so you can see the visuals and get an in depth review of the game. If you are interested in this game, make sure you have a decent gaming desktop with a nice graphics card and a 1080p monitor. A really awesome addition to this sequel of AC is the naval combat aspect, which is a really phenomenal experience. The storyline doesn't really seem to captivate nor interest me. There was no plot, no background, but a series of seemingly random events. It's one of the weakest "stories" I have seen. That being said, I don't buy games for the story. The free roam and fun missions make up for it's shortcomings. Depending on how you choose to play it, you should get at least 30-45 hours out of the game. If story is what you're looking for, do not purchase this game. But if free roaming game play and pirating the open seas sounds like a blast....you will not be disappointed!

    It barely can be called "Assassin's Creed"

    It's more a pirate simulator than an Assassin's Creed game. They leave a lot of gaps of time and don't explain what happens inbetween and then all of a sudden major things have happened with no explanation why. I guess they just assume you have read all the history books. It's brilliantly fun when you're not jumping off of buildings for no reason or getting stuck in or on something. It's a wicked blast when you are chasing after something or someone and your character decides this 1 foot high ledge is suddenly too high to jump over and you come to a dead stop and can't move around it quick enough and the timer runs out. Other than that it's a lot of fun sailing the high seas and taking anything as your own.
