Watch Dogs Standard Edition - Xbox One

Alot of action, great graphics and amazing replay value

Pros: + Smooth hacking + Interesting story + Xbox One impulse triggers are AMAZING + Amount of stuff to do (Main missions, mini games, side missions, etc) Cons: - Driving mechanics can be slightly better - Cover mechanics can be better - Slightly weird button scheme All of the cons just take getting used to. It's a great game though. I didn't go into this game expecting it to be the best game ever like some people did, but I was still more than satisfied.

When I got the game and installed it I was just happy that I didn't get the Uplay error that a lot people were getting. I went into the game without reading a lot of articles or watching a lot of gameplays. The game was pretty fluid and the idea of being able to hack in to anything was cool. They button layout on the controls is odd and the handling on styles of cars makes no sense but the game is extremely fun. The online is really fun and is different than any multiplier I have ever played. It definitely fulfilling being in a open world and hacking into others people wandering around in your game. I would definitely suggest the game to anyone that like to problem solve.

The hacking mechanic works flawlessly in the open world setup. What doesn't work is well is the driving. Ubisoft doesn't have much experience with driving games and that part shows. Overall, the game is a fresh take on an open world title. It gives the player hundreds of ways to approach each mission.

Still early and I haven't progressed very far, but I've been pleased thus far. If you're ADD or OCD as I tend to be sometimes, you'll find yourself distracted from the main story and attracted to the plethora of mini-games and play them obsessively until you get a score you can be satisfied with ;). One of the first missions threw me for a loop. Had to evade the police, but drove around for 15 minutes and couldn't figure out what I needed to do. Finally reset to checkpoint, and actually engaged the police more directly before evading successfully. A lot like GTA, but a bit more brainpower is required for some of the hacking. Hasn't been too difficult yet and offers a nice challenge. Still trying to get the hang of all the in-game phone apps (D-pad up) and the progress wheel, skills, etc. Overall, a lot to it all. Likely to keep me engaged for far more time than I really have. The honey-do list is going to grow again, I fear.
