    Took the best part of AC3, sailing/ship battles, and made a great AC game around it. I had low expectations for this game due to how fast it came out after 3, but those expectations were blown out of the water once I started playing. Fast travel is a time saver for sure though, glad they made that system work better. Play the game.

    Overall it's a pretty good game. I like the whole pirate theme, different than the other themes. Ezio is still the best.

    The best part of the Assassins Creed Series. I love this game, awesome Pirates, and awesome Pirate Ship Battles. You can't get any better than this. Absolutely amazing, and I can't put down the controller. I thought the last game was the best, but then this one just upped the Ante... Can it go anywhere else from here?!

    I wasn't so sure about my purchase of this game initially, but am pleasantly surprised. think this is the best chapter in awhile in the AC series. The mian storyline was a little weak in my mind but there are so many other things to do that the game is consistently very challenging and simply fun to play. The naval battles are really cool especially when you are sparring with a stronger opponent.

    Who wouldn't want to experience life as a pirate? AC is always fun, but this one even more so than the others.

    Overall, the latest (to date) AC Creed game really fixes a lot of the problems with AC III. The new sailing mechanics are tremendously fun. Sailing a ship around has never been this enjoyable in a video game. The storyline is okay, but this game really shines are a free roaming sandbox game. Worth picking up for fans of the franchise, who are looking for a new twist on the classic AC formula.

    This is my favorite so far of the Assassins Creed genre. It's fun to play and not overly complicated like some games. I play pretty much on a daily basis and have ignored pretty much any other games since I bought this one at Best Buy. Would recommend it to anyone. It may be a little mature for young children but they see worse on TV. Can't wait for the next version of Assassin's Creed !!!

    For fans of the franchise, this game will be much loved as it is clearly better than it's predecessor by leaps and bounds. For new players, the pirate setting will definitely grasp you and reel you in. This game is an absolute blast! However, I recommend getting it on the Xbox One instead of the Xbox 360.

    I bought this for my boyfriend. He says it is great. He enjoys the storyline and really digs the sea shanties that they sing on the ship. He has been playing it for a while now and is still not done ( that makes it worth the $$ in my mind). I hate when I spend $60 on a game that is beaten in a weekend.

    This game is easily my favorite in the series. The graphics are superb and with surroundsound the sound is expensive and amazing. I would recommend this game on the 364 sure you won't lose much in the graphics are stunning. If you are familiar with the series things are very similar but much easier.

    This game renewed my relationship with my Xbox. I'm not much of an online type of gamer and prefer an interesting storyline with replay potential. This game has it all. It helps that I really enjoy the pirate genre as well. It's been a long time since I was excited to get home to play.

    Unlike previous AC games, getting around in AC4 is fast and easy. The storyline is not quite as good as AC3, but sets you up for more in the future. The sailing gameplay is significantly improved over AC3, and the underwater levels make a nice addition. Multiplayer could be better.

    Ubisoft hitting another homerun

    Another good Ubisoft title that hit the majority of points. This is the first Assassins Creed I played in full and just didn't meet the level of greatness that Farcry 3 did in 2012. Worth the Deal of the Day at $20 I paid and anything beyond that would be slightly excessive.
