Best Deal I Could Ever Have

It was a really good game. Starts you off quick & ended strong, in the campaign. Everything gets fairly easy after you have unlocked all the perks in the game. The Aiden Pearce Statue is plastic, really well designed, but the gun is not glued down, so it can be taken off the statue. The vigilante mask is well made, feels really nice around your neck & must be worn with specific type of clothing, so it blends in. The artbook has alot of great stuff & the soundtrack is good stuff. It's all a good deal.

Watch Dogs is a fun and addicting game. You should expect stealthy game play as well as some puzzle elements. This includes trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B in specific situations as well as the pipe puzzles used to hack through "stronger" security. The side missions (fixer contracts, criminal convoys, and intrusions) can be fun and entertaining, but do not add much to the story. The side games (ball under a cup, drinking game, money run, digital trips, and NVNZ) are not the best and did not pull me away from the missions.
Though the graphics are not at par with what was previously demoed by Ubisoft, the city of Chicago still looks pretty darn good. It is also alive and very populated. You can scan just about everyone you encounter and a good number of them can be hacked for a variety of items. There were some frame rate issues here and there, but nothing major or game breaking that I encountered.
Many of the poor reviews that I have been reading seem like the reviewers went in expecting a GTA clone, but you have to understand that this is not that. It is not intended to be played as a shoot 'em up like GTA, nor it is as large and in-depth a world as Los Santos. You are expected to use a lot more stealth and cunning to make your way through this digital Chicago.
To wrap up, you should give this a try if you enjoy your games with a bit more puzzle solving and stealthy than your run of the mill shooters. I give this a good 8 out of 10. Though I suggest giving it a try and forming your own opinion on it, I believe it is a heck of a game to play.

Decent buy on sale

For starters, I think this is a decent collector's edition to have if you are a collector or even just a casual fan of the game. The statue is actually pretty nice and detailed and is the main highlight for me. I also like that they include a physical copy of the game along with a physical copy of the soundtrack all housed in a nice steelbook. Sadly, this edition does not include any DLC at all such as the season pass. It does include a real mask you can wear to try to look like the game's protagonist. On sale, this edition might be worth getting for most people, just make sure you actually get a brand new sealed version instead of an opened/ returned box with wear and tear everywhere like I did.

The game is great with varied game play that allows for multiple ways of playing the game. The multiplayer is fun and while I normally do focus more on the campaign style of play it was something that was fun to do with friends.

I've waited forever for this edition to drop in price. I still think the 1st game was better than part 2 for alot of reasons. If youve always wanted to plat this series stick with part 1.

Overall this was a good game in a ice setting with a decent story that kept me wanting to play until the end. Collector's Edition came with alot of nice content but not worth the MSRP imo.

After playing watch dogs for almost hour, I get the feeling it's similar to GTA but with a detective plot added into the mix which makes the gameplay all the much better! This limited edition is great too especially with the action figure that's included. If you're looking for a game similar to GTA but with a detective/puzzle solving portion, then I'd highly recommend you check out this title!

The game itself is not very interesting it is kind of average in my opinion. However the collectors edition has great quality items and has a lot of them. This is something that most collectors editions don’t have anymore because they only include art books or soundtracks. This includes a high-quality statue and other items that are very collectible.

Pretty Eh.. for a Limited Edition

Instead of reviewing the game, I will review the limited edition as this is what it is.
I honestly only bought the limited because I heard the game was pretty good, it is, and they price matched the Microsoft store who had it for $70. I am not surprised that it was still sitting on the shelf after having been out so long due to the lack of premium content in the limited edition. The only noticeable things where the soundtrack, a mask thing like the character uses and a figurine. I assumed there would be bonus content in game like missions or early access to certain things, nope. In all honestly, just get the standard edition unless you really want this stuff.

The collectors edition of the game is really cool. Too bad the game itself is mediocre. So much potential wasted on another great looking ubisoft title. A lot of the game revolves around driving, and the driving in the game is HORRIBLE.

This game got a lot of bad attention due to the downgrade in graphics and some glitches (it is Bugisoft, after all), but this is actually a really good game, specially considering it is the first one of the franchise.
