I don't even know where to begin. I pre ordered this game, I got it Tuesday, and the second I got home I popped it in and I couldn't stop playing until I beat it, which was Wednesday night. The game is based on Main Missions ( 5 acts with around 8 missions each with 20 objectives in each mission), Side Missions (Criminal Convoys and Gang Hide outs and many more you can put an end to to increase your reputation and gain XP and Skill Points) and so many more I can't type it all. The vehicle selection is huge, and the character outfits are sick. Money is no issue with the hacking part of the game, you can walk by and hack someone's bank account and steal the cash unnoticed. Great game ubisoft!

Watch Dogs is like Assassin's Creed meets GTAV, and that's a good thing. With stellar open world gameplay, Watch Dogs gives you so much to explore and do. Ubisoft's take on technology is unique and provides for an original plot and interesting characters. With all the side missions and ways to play through the game, it remains fun each time I play. Driving isn't nearly as easy as it is in most other games (GTAV), but it works and doesn't take much away from the gameplay.

The controls in this game will sometimes work against you, and it can be unnecessarily hard to remain undetected. It's similarly very difficult to outrun anyone, which can make for long chase sequences that quickly get dull during side missions. Ultimately, however, the game makes up for these frustrations with its unique play style. It's really satisfying to hack the environment and fight your way through waves of enemies without firing a shot.

This game isn't everything I was expecting but to be honest my expectations and those of a lot of the gaming community were unrealistic after the first E3 showing. That's just how things tend to go, with that being said I am loving the game. It has a grand theft auto feel to it with the addition of what I think is a better story so far. Also I have yet to grow tired of hacking things especially when avoiding the cops during police stations. While it probably doesn't give us everything we all wanted its still a great experience and worthy of a five star rating. I'm glad it was delayed it would have been less of a good game if it hadn't.

I liked the basis of the story and play-ability but the driving aspect was clunky and frustration.

I am really enjoying this game. It is an open world sandbox, that allows you to interact with the environment unlike any game before it. In other open world games, you are limited to only walk around, drive or shoot. This game puts in a city that presents you with options. Change the stop lights all to green to cause a crash, hack into bank accounts and take their money, use cameras around the city as unique view points. The graphics are really good, but that seems to be the one area where people are disappointed. Not because they are bad, but because they felt they could have been better. Lastly, the plot/story is addicting.

Watch Dogs is a fun game and although the hacking gameplay is not as deep as they made it out to be, I still like hacking into pretty much everything to help me on my mission. Gunplay is fluid for a third person open world shooter but the driving in this game is awful. The story is interesting but filled with cliches. Overall its a good game with a few flaws that hold it back from being the amazing game we were shown at E3 2012.

Watch_Dogs is basically GTA with the ability to hack. Instead of going in guns blazing, this is more of a stealth version of GTA. The GTA concept is already great, Watch_Dogs only offers a new way of playing it. You get missions just like GTA, only that you have an option on what kind of character you want to be. i.e. criminal or vigilante. In Watch_Dogs, you have the ability to screen everyone. You also have the ability to hack through cameras and see your surrounding and act before you're seen. Overall, great game so far if you're into open world map games like GTA.

This game is not a bad game but in my opinion it was way over hyped. Let me start with the fact that it looks nothing like the 2012 e3 demo I mean not even close with all the shadow detail and water reflections. You can just do a Youtube search for comparison and see for yourself. I don't think that makes this a bad game at all but really this is the second time Ubisoft has shown a demo of a game that doesn't look nearly as good when it comes out. They did it with far cry 3 as well. Now that this is out of the way the game isn't bad per say but it's main character is badly written and the story is not good. the game play is fine except the driving controls terribly I mean come on they really messed it up, even sleeping dogs had better driving control and that wasn't great and that game came out a while ago. The missions are fun but do get a little repetitive after a while. There is a lot to do in this game so that is good. I would say if you like this type of game and don't have anything else to play go for it but if you do wait for it to be on sale or the price to drop.

At first I was a bit skeptical about the game. I was thinking another sandbox game like GTA. However, the game offers a new way of interacting with the environment through hacking and controlling them from your in game mobile phone. Something fresh to offer in terms of gameplay. The story is interesting and the online element offer some replay value. Overall great game!

This new open world game incorporates several features from Assassins Creed and Far Cry along with some new hacking techniques to make an engaging game. The only downside I have experienced is the driving. It feels a little sluggish and could be little more fun. I also have heard the storyline isn't the greatest, but I haven't finished the game so I can't truly comment on that.

One-button hacking might be overly simplistic, but it does give you abilities that make playing through Aiden’s story feel powerful and fun. Doing side missions and multiplayer as you make your way through the dark and lengthy story makes it feel like a huge adventure, and stealth options let you play smart if you prefer. Car chases aside, Watch Dogs is fundamentally very well made, and has more than enough unique ideas to make it a great and memorable open-world action game.

This gMe I defiantly worth picking up. It's very similar to GTA in concept, but has a lot of depth to it. The hacking aspect is what sets it apart from gta. You can see why the game had so much hype. After the delay I was afraid it wasn't going to turn out so good but I came together nicely. I can easily see myself playing this game for a few months before I find everything

Watch_Dogs is an awesome game that lets you roam the streets of Chicago. The hacking feature is cool and the missions are fun.

The game is overall decent and worth a play through but for some people it might not be worth the full price. If you love open world games with tons of things to do then this is for you. The story is not all that special and for me it gets kinda boring after few missions. The hacking is the best part and it is funny too.

What a great game. Yes it reminds me a bit of GTA or Saints Row, but the ability to hack was very unique and a nice feature. Every campaign mission isn't very long but there is tons to do so the game will keep you busy for a while. The graphics are great and I have a blast just exploring the city. To be honest I was a little worried when I bought it that I would be disappointed but I took a chance and am sure glad I did. I can't stop playing it!

The game adds a nice twist and approach to the already popular open world scheme of games. It gives a gamer a nice new perspective on how to use their modern environment in their favor and how to manipulate things that people rarely think about using. It gives a nice little insight in to the world of hacking and the many potential uses of hacking a city system IF a city's systems were actually on one giant system (a scary thought). The game has a lot of potential and is loads of fun. The game can be a bit confusing at times, but hey everything has a learning curve of some sort. I didn't care too much about other players infiltrating the game (it was actually annoying) and the graphics could have done with more improvement considering the developing company delayed the game for over six months. In the end it is a fun game that delivers entertainment on various levels, despite some of its drawbacks, and if you are into tech and love messing around with tech, then get ready to feel like you control the city of Chicago at the touch of a button (fun stuff).

So I have been following Watch Dogs for some time now and I could not wait to get my hands on it. It definitely delivered to all the hype that was created for it. People don't see past the E3 graphics fiasco but it is the definition of next gen. The story is long and in depth. The city feels alive and there is loads to do. Multilayer is fun you just have to keep an open mind that it's not just a single player game and it is definitely no GTA

I have only began playing, but from what I have played overall the game is good, similar to the likes of GTA and Saints Row. There is lots to do in this game, plenty of side missions to keep you busy. One of the things i do not like are the controls for driving. They could have polished them a little more.

I was expecting to hate this game as the graphics were said to be "last gen". Maybe so but I'm enjoying it. It's like GTA with Assassins Creed thrown in. More stealth and planning are needed to succeed. The open environment is great with plenty of people walking the streets. With Hacking, the cash builds up quickly. And it doesn't take forever to get around the map. Plenty of stuff to do, side missions, crimes, etc.. Get it!
