    With a new storyline and Connor’s new ability, this DLC still feels like the main game in its sense but with a few tweaks here and there.

    This episode is the beginning of this all-fictional spin on the main antagonist’s actions, and if it keeps up the pace is sure to offer a lot of diverse, exciting gameplay never before seen in the series.

    In The Infamy, the first of three episodes of Assassin's Creed 3 DLC that make up a campaign set in an alternate history, Washington trades virtue for monarchal power: The Tyranny of King Washington.

    Lasting about three hours, this $10 first act has a hard time standing on its own.

    An admirably imaginative approach to downloadable content that has a better story than the main game, but not quite enough variety in action and missions.

    It's good to see Ubisoft completely rewriting history, rather than just slightly altering it, to spin one of the series' most absurd and intriguing yarns. Washington as a comical cartoon villain is entertaining, and the Wolf Cloak makes stealth less frustrating than it was in the vanilla game. Still, it isn't a vastly different experience, and if you've already bled Assassin's Creed 3 dry, you might find this add-on a little too familiar at times.

    This new alternate history DLC for Assassin's Creed 3 is actually a breath of fresh air for the franchise. Unfortunately, it's a very short inhalation of gameplay and ideas.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was fairly impressed with the first episode of DLC and the idea of playing with history and using alternate timelines is a good one. Evil Washington is awesome, and not quite as silly as Mecha-Hitler in Wolfy. Pacing is a bit off as certain missions can be a bit dull and repetitive. But I liked the powers you need them as EVERYONE in the world wants to kill you as soon as they see you in the DLC. So that can be annoying. But the stealth powers and wolf-pack summon freshen up the combat in AC3 and give you more tactics to consider in combat. I liked the storyline and am interested to see where this is going.

    Presentation is excellent. Voice acting is very good and the movie sequences are very well directed.

    I think I have to deduct a mark for the price. Overpriced DLC seems to be a recurring theme from Ubisoft back to the dark days of releasing unfinished AC games and then asking gamers to pay for the sequences that you didn't finish. This is not the case here, but I think that the DLC is overpriced for the hours you will spend playing it.    … Expand

TheThis expansion was way too short given what you pay for it. You start to get into the story and it ends leaving you feeling ripped off. The best thing about it is the new ghost wolf ability, i wish you had that ability in the main story of the game. In this expansion you just learned a new ability, practiced it with a few missions and that's it. I really enjoy assassins creed so i will still download the next expansion. I just hope they give allot more of the story next time around and design more missions where your utilizing your new wolf ability.… Expand
