"Ambitious"

*English is not my primary language

I was skeptical at first. Without the original creative head, and trying to forget the amazing Eizio character, I didn't believed AC3 would live up to the expectations. And I was wrong

Pros :
- Finally, the game is a little bit difficult. Gone are the potions and stuff that made AC one of the easiest games on the market.
- Side missions for the win! There is so much that can be accomplished. A good variety of old (assassinations, deliveries) and new (the awesome ships missions, I would take a game only of that).
- Graphics are about the best I have seen on a PS3.
- Really loved the era the developpers chose.

Cons :
- The main character has no charisma
- Making your own products to sell/accomplish delivering missions is a little bit confusing
- Multiplayer is about the same
- Some bugs here and there.
- Desmond missions are as boring as they were.

Despite the amount of flaws I mentionned, the overall experience makes one of the best game I have played since GTA/Red dead/Fallout. With a more likable main character, the next AC could easily be a 10.
