The latest Inside Assassin's Creed III video centres around "The Hero Behind the War" as well as various other facets of the game such as its revamped animation system (now with over an hour of Connor animations added), parkour, historical figures and more, but for me, the absolute stand-out here is the brutality in Connor's fighting style.

While every entry in the series has never strayed from the idea you are playing as an assassin, never in its history has the combat been so visceral and evisceral (yep, just made that word up, the combat is looking that good). But don't take my (made up) word for it, check it out for yourself embedded below, or click here for a direct link.

Assassin's Creed III arrives on PS3 and Xbox 360 this October 31st, on PC November 23 and Wii U November 30.
