AC3 definitly. Having the map on the gamepad will streamline your gameplay alot. In the other versions of the game you have to bring up the map a million times so no doubt the game will be alot more enjoyable without that annoyance. Its the best version in my view.

Batman is an amazing game you probably want to experience. Personally though, it has elements that annoy me and its gameplay is not as good as touted. I still dont understand why every guard in a room has to be alerted when i do a stealth kill that the others cant see. Its a very frustrating experience for me that isnt realistic or rewarding (theres quite an overload of Riddler puzzles aswell wich gets annoying after a while). But, the storyline, actors, the feel, audio and the melee combat are very enjoyable. I wouldnt buy the game again, but its definitly worth experiencing if you like Batman.

The same is true of AC3 though. The instant fail when detected mission are very annoying when the game decides you're detected in the one split second before a guard dies. And the nonsense instant spawning of groups of guards during fort take overs when a double assasination doesn't work and takes 1.5 seconds is very irritating.
The combat is more rewarding in Batman, in AC3 it feels more like a long qte, almost impossible to lose except out of annoyance at the continual respawing at notoriety level 3. Easier to die and reset instead of taking the trouble to run away and have to come back again.

The naval battles are fun (but short). Exploring and experiencing the world makes it worth it for me. Story and mission were better in Batman.
