When Id read that AC III would overhaul the previous games climbing mechanics and allow players to scale cliffs and trees, Ill admit to overlooking the detail as superficial. I mean, how much of an impact could the ability to scale nature have on the overall standard of the game? Well lots apparently; Im essentially forced to eat my words. Youll be amazed at how much depth this new Frontier based climbing mechanic has on the game, how much scope it adds to the overall single player experience. Last night, I must have spent a good hour and a half simply running through the trees, scaling cliff walls, hunting and generally taking in the immensely rendered landscape in all its glory. It really is quite a breath-taking, starkly beautiful setting and thanks to tree running, traversing it is an absolute pleasure.
