    Why bother even getting DLC for this, when the next Assassin's Creed comes already this fall? Well done Ubisoft: another quick money grab, nothing else! Skip this joke... next!

    The story is pretty good. Beyond that it is the same horrible AC3 gameplay with a new, useless power. Each DLC introduces a new power and then forces you to use it for the rest of the DLC. What a joke. One day Ubisoft might realize that what made the original AC/AC2 fun was the assassinations. Now you have to play through a couple of hours before you get to anything remotelyThe story is pretty good. Beyond that it is the same horrible AC3 gameplay with a new, useless power. Each DLC introduces a new power and then forces you to use it for the rest of the DLC. What a joke. One day Ubisoft might realize that what made the original AC/AC2 fun was the assassinations. Now you have to play through a couple of hours before you get to anything remotely resembling an assassination and that is at the end of the DLC. The objectives continue to be balanced towards forcing you to use the "cool" new power (that actually is pretty useless). Combat is even more broken in the DLC than in the original if you can even imagine that. If it wasn't for the writing the DLC would be abysmal. If you liked AC3 you'll like this DLC. If you didn't then the DLC will do nothing to make you like it any more.… Expand

    it is much much better than the infamy but it is still not good the power you get in this one is so good i used it in the whole DLC actually but the glitches and boring missions makes it not perfect

    So, I have pretty much covered all there is to say in my Infamy review, since this is part 2 it is similar, however the atmosphere here is even better than in The Infamy. However, I still do have some problems with this DLC. Not too much content, bullsh*t story, easy achievments (on the XBOX) etc. The easily best thing about this DLC is the reward cutscene for collecting the memorySo, I have pretty much covered all there is to say in my Infamy review, since this is part 2 it is similar, however the atmosphere here is even better than in The Infamy. However, I still do have some problems with this DLC. Not too much content, bullsh*t story, easy achievments (on the XBOX) etc. The easily best thing about this DLC is the reward cutscene for collecting the memory fragments, something like The Truth in ACII. If you have the Freedom edition and you have read the Washington diary, you will have understood the logic behind this DLC (better than no logic at all, right?).… Expand

    This second chapter of the DLC of The Tyranny of King Washington brings more action and stealth than the previous, while still introducing new mechanics combined with the classical form of power. And I like it!!

    The game contains 3 episodes each running from 2 to 4 hours long with side missions for those wanting 100% The story is a lot of fun and it wraps up showing you why George has gone mad! It's definitely worth the price, and I'd even go ahead to say that it's better than the main campaign. You're given 3 animal powers total, 1 each episode, and it blends in really well with the gameplay,The game contains 3 episodes each running from 2 to 4 hours long with side missions for those wanting 100% The story is a lot of fun and it wraps up showing you why George has gone mad!

    This DLC is a great take on an alternate history in the AC3 game. It takes place in an illusion where Washington has taken the mantle of the king and has become a tyrant. He holds the Apple of Eden and bends every other persons mind to do his bidding. The pyramid and the huge ships in the middle of New York is a great addition to the map.

The pyramid and the huge ships in the middle of New York is a great addition to the map. Connor gets some superpowers which help him call animals for help instead of Assassin which I liked. The NPC don't remember anything from the past and their take and interaction with Connor feels real. Its a good DLC, worth your time.… Expand

    The "Tyranny of King Washington: The Betrayal" DLC for Assassin's Creed III, like the other DLCs, is no longer playable due to Ubisoft's decision to restrict access to the content.

This unfortunate move has left players unable to experience the DLC, even if they had previously purchased it, which is undoubtedly frustrating and disappointing.

    As for the DLC itself, I was not particularly fond of it, as was the case with its predecessor. I encountered various game-breaking bugs and glitches during my playthrough of this second episode, something that I hadn't experienced in the original game. Additionally, I found the optional objectives to be significantly more challenging than in the main game, because of the bugs, making it a frustrating experience at times.

    The storyline presented in this second episode was, unfortunately, more average than its predecessor. While the gameplay benefited from the inclusion of superpowers, as seen in the first episode, the narrative felt disconnected from the main story. It appeared as if Connor's character had transformed and no longer questioned the events unfolding in this alternate reality, leaving us with a narrative that felt like filler content rather than a meaningful addition to the overarching plot.

    Moreover, the lack of a strong connection to the main storyline and the limited moments of reveal from the actual story left me feeling indifferent towards the events in this DLC. As a result, the content became less engaging and less meaningful to me as a player.

    In conclusion, while "Tyranny of King Washington: The Betrayal" initially held promise with its inclusion of superpowers and unique premise, my experience with the DLC was overshadowed by game-breaking issues and a narrative that felt disconnected from the core Assassin's Creed plot. With Ubisoft's decision to restrict access to the DLC, I can no longer recommend it, and the lack of accessibility only adds to the disappointment surrounding this content.    … Expand

    Even if the final chapter justifies the journey, this leg of it is sadly lifeless. [June 2013, p.97]

    Story might be getting a low priority in The Tyranny of King Washington, but at least The Betrayal lets you transform into invisible animals to better hunt your prey. At the very least, it makes Assassin’s Creed 3 fresh again.

    And it's not like Tyranny has intrigue to spare. The very promising core idea here—George Washington as king and maniac—hasn't really spawned any amazing storytelling or clever historical twists. Oddly enough, we've seen very little of King Washington himself, though presumably he'll be the boss of Episode 3.
