    Despite the release date i would say the graphics where a bit shy to that of the E3 trailer, there is so much that can be said about this innovative and revolutionary game. Game play was smooth enough, but there are definitely a lot of bugs, areas that you cant climb up on or jump over. There is obviously a couple bug that need to be worked out but I would say in general this game is great! Character mechanics will perform a bit unrealistic ally at times, but this does not affect the overall experience. The drive controls and mechanics also take a little getting used. I am a techie dude so by all means I am intrigued on the concept of the game. I have lots of fun playing and would highly recommend it.

    Slow start but becomes a great game

    Honesty, when I started playing, Watch Dogs seemed like a generic revenge-seeking game with a focus hacking. However, it develops into a better story with interesting characters and a very fun sandbox. Multiplayer doesn't feel like it was forced in like many new games; it is actually enjoyable to hack someone without being found. Graphics are not Infamous: Second Son beautiful, but they are definitely not the worst. In rain, however, the game is gorgeous. The AI behaves just like Assassin's Creed; when you're spotted, going back into a hiding spot diminishes their alertness, which makes the game a little bit easier. Comparison to GTA 5 is inevitable: I still would say this is more difficult (in a good way), I enjoy the combat more because it is more stealth-based, there are more enjoyable side activities., and there's a lot of humor but not as raunchy as GTA. I would give it an 8.7/10

    Watchdogs will immediately seem overwhelming due to the seemingly endless amount of content in the game. It truly brings new meaning to the term: Open World. Fans of the Grand Theft Auto series will feel the most at home here while casual gamers may suffer from blown minds with elongated jaws hitting the floor. Bringing your mobile phone into the mix with Watchdogs companion app may induce lost time syndrome with acute lack of outside world recognition. Watchdogs may not completely live up to the insane level of hype it has received over it's year long delay, but really, it would have been impossible for any game to. What Watchdogs does do however, is deliver an epic experience, which frighteningly, mirrors the direction our country is heading. Definitely a must buy for the PS4. Oh and as an added bonus, both the PS4 and PS3 feature extra content and over an hour extra game play.

    Creative game that integrates a Grand Theft Auto style game play with technology in an open world format. Missions are enjoyable and side missions are equally fun.

    Watch Dogs is a pretty good grand theft auto clone with one major key gameplay difference, hacking. The hacking of many different things on the game allow for some pretty cool unique situations that can really expand more as the series grows. Shooting mechanics are good but nothing special, and there's almost always a choice of stealth which is never bad. However if you a graphics type of person, the game just doesn't look all that good for it being next gen. Also some of the mission, both side and main ones, are just plain boring. But the future of this series looks great and I am sure excited for it.

    Watch_Dogs is a first open sandbox that gives the player the ability to hack objects and unsuspecting patrons of Chicago. IL. I'm not saying the game is perfect, no. No game arrives without a few flaws or missed opportunities. I feel it is a great first step for Ubisoft and for what I hope becomes a franchise. There are several great qualities about this game, such as a big map in which to explore and hack your way around. Sure the graphics aren't what we were shown at E3 2012, but the experience i feel makes up for that in a sense that the next gen consoles have just arrived. There are quite a number of things to keep you occupied in the game when you're not doing missions. Hacking peoples bank accounts and deterring crime all throughout Chicago, taking out gangs. Helping or hurting the citizens of Chicago the choice is yours at the touch or a smartphone.

    You will enjoy the game a lot more the first few hours, but once you continue on, you start to not care about why you are doing what you are doing, since the main character is pretty hard to relate with or like. Plus the story starts to take a backseat to the side missions and random occurrences. The hacking is nifty and seeing all the facts about the random people, but sooner or later you start to get repeat text conversations and phone conversations, so it starts to become flat. Overall fun game and I enjoyed it, just not a 5 star game and not the game they hyped for the last 2 years.

    This one started out great but once I got into the open world, I found my self not all that interested in following the story. So I did what anyone else would do and loot around looking for some action. Well the action is there is just not all that great. Driving feels to arcade like and the action while some situations vs. other are fun and others are just hurry along and get to the next section kind of fun. Overall it's a good game but hoping for some mass improvements with a new installment. Also Ubisoft feel free to give us some better graphics with the next installment please.

    This small laptop is great for sitting at the doctors office and keeping me busy. It fits in my purse, you can fold the laptop keyboard over and use as a tablet & it runs pretty well. I would prefer it to be a bit faster and pages crash more often than i would like, but then again, I'm trying to game on it, so that uses a lot more ram than it probably has. This is a good laptop if you're not trying to game though! But it DOES run gaming sites. Just use 1 game at a time or you'll end up crashing all over the place. GREAT buy for the money though!!!

    Yes, it is not as good looking as the E3 trailer. But dang, is it fun. Playing free roam online with a few buddies will definitely give you some laughs and memories. But, I think they could have added many things such as more activities/missions to do online in free roam, the ability to shoot out of your car, customization of your car/online character, etc etc etc. I think if this game was made ONLY for next gen consoles and PC, and if they spent an extra year to add more things, it would have been one of the best open world games since Red Dead Redemption.

    This game was definitely worth the wait. I've been playing the last 3 days & am only 15% complete with the main story. There's plenty of side missions to keep us busy. It's hilarious to change the traffic light in busy intersections & boom, accidents galore. Putting bridges up & seeing cars slide backwards or into the water is another hilarious thing to do. If you have $60 and like a mix of GTA & assassin's creed (stealth) you'll love Watch Dogs.

    1st off I have played this game already over 7 hours and I have not finished it but so far it's fun. At 1st I was a bit frustrated with the game but once I began unlocking skills and hacking abilities the game became fun.I am 100% sure the trailers we saw on YouTube and TV were the PC version because the Ps4 version does not stack up to what we have been seeing these past years.Im not saying it does not look good because it looks amazing just not what we were fed over the years.I highly recommend this game it's fun and it keeps you coming back for more.

    Ive been waiting for a very long time for this game to come out, and now thats its out i cant put my ps4 controller down. It was a little difficult at first to control the cars in the game. The story line and the open world is great.

    This game is a great first effort by Ubisoft for a new franchise. The best part of the game is hacking and controlling the city by far. The controls work well with the open world environment. Although this does stay true to mostly all open world games, the creativity in how you interact with your environment is really what makes it unique. The quality reminds me of the first Assassin's Creed game...a good game that has huge potential for future iterations. If you like open world games I would definitely recommend this one.
