Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the gameplay, story, hacking mechanics, and open world of Watch Dogs. Many also appreciate the game's side missions and the price point for a pre-owned copy. However, some customers find the driving mechanics and controls challenging, while others have concerns about the level of violence depicted. Overall, the positive feedback on the core gameplay elements outweighs the negative comments on specific aspects.

    In order to get the most out of walking through the city you need to walk around with your phone out. I found this to be not to my liking. There doesn't feel like there is enough interaction in the city other than finding tourist markers and the newspaper stands to replenish your focus ability. By interaction I do not mean hacking street lights or blowing manhole covers. The city just doesnt make me feel like there are things to do between missions the way GTA5 does. GTA5 just has a more immersing feel to it.

    It's an average game.

    Watch Dogs is an average game. It's not bad & it's not great either. It's mediocre. The hacking mechanic is cool at first but gets old fast. The open world feels disjointed and repetitive. The developer needed more time to fully expand on the true potential of this game. It ultimately feels rushed and doesn't live up to the hype. Watch Dogs tries to measure up to GTA but ends up being a watered down sub par clone. I recommend this game as a redbox title unless a patch or an update fixes some of the issues.

    This is the Grand Theft Auto game for geeks and hackers. Many of the same mechanics, great story line and wonderful graphics will keep you entertained for hours.

    So at first I was excited about the game but, after playing it & realizing how much predominantly the focus is on hacking and hacking only... I would say its 7/10

    My son loves it and I think it was pretty fun. I think it's more appropriate then other games out there. I'm pretty picky in what games I will allow him to play.

    Overall great game. Online is fun pretty good story line. Only issue I have with it is there is some load times if you fail a mission. Other than that love the game.

    It captures the capabilities of the xbox one and the great parts of assassins creed with controls while adding in new elements with the hacking and some elements of an fps.

    This game is OK, probably the hype machine got to it and it wasn't as advertised. So left people feeling disappointed.

    The online is suppose to be the best part of the game, but it isn't. It's boring and that's what I don't like about it.

    I got it for $10 so I can't really complain about it much. If it was more expensive then I wouldn't recommend.

    This game looks fantastic. At night just after it rains this game makes me want to go to the big city its just so gorgeous. Unfortunately the game play itself is nothing new. In fact I'm pretty sure they just reused the AI from other games. This game is definitely worth playing if you like games like Infamous and GTA but don't expect anything else because its basically the same game.

    This is a great alternative to grand theft auto. This is really a thinking game. You can go in guns blazing but it is better if you go and take everybody down without guns. Driving is little hard to get use to. Its cool you can hack into other things. Great game.

    It's an ambitious game, but it just doesn't excel in any particular area. The sneaking is subpar, the combat is subpar, the vehicles are subpar and you are more or less stuck on street level for most of the game, with very few areas letting you actually move up and around in them. The game just feels like a lot of ideas that were thrown together without much thought or care. Not a bad game, just unremarkable. You'll forget you played it in a year or so.

    This game is fun from the start. I've logged about 4 hours so far and i hope it keeps getting better and doesn't get repetitive like other games.

    A Solid Open World Action Game

    This is really a 3 1/2 star game, but forced to choose a whole number, I gave it a bump because overall, it's a fun open-world game with a ton of content. With a bit of a drought of high-profile releases on the latest consoles so far in 2014, Watch Dogs gets enough right to satisfy, as long as you weren't riding at the front of the hype train during its development.
