Watch Dogs provides a novel twist on GTA/sandbox games. The story line is involving, but as with GTA, the tasks can be repetitive. Although the graphics are good, I would expect more from a next gen console game.

This game reminds me a lot of the GTA series. I've been hearing talk about this game for a couple of years, so I have been a bit let down. It doesn't bring a lot of things that other games haven't already done. I usually enjoy side missions and collectibles, but this game might just have too many side mission/games. They definitely become very repetitive very quickly. I haven't explored multiplayer yet, but I would imagine like the rest of the game, it will be similar to GTA. I would not recommend this game for young kids, as it contains nudity and lot of adult content.

This is a very good game. I like how you can hack everything in the city. I like the cars. It's a very solid game. I don't like the multiplayer and you can't shoot from the cars but it's a very good game

My fear when I first bought Watch Dogs was that it would be just another Assassin's Creed and GTA clone. Far from it! There are over 13,000 NPC's all with hackable data that make the game extremely interesting to just wander everywhere and find out about everyone. Furthermore, the story and gameplay compares to the best of Gears of Wars and Uncharted. Unfortunately hacking is overrated as it is a little too simplistic and primarily scripted events but interacting with the environments to escape/getaway from situations is extremely fun. There are a few instances though where hacking is really creative, but for the most part it is a simple click to find out about people or change the environment. The real fun comes from the density of things to do within all of Chicago. I bought the XB1 version and am also extremely happy with the resolution. The primary difference between the XB1 and PS4 versions is depth of shadows. But the XB1 has the same high resolution texture level and dynamic lighting/shadows that PS4 has, it's just a little more in depth on the PS4 so hardly any difference. Great game, fun purchase! Enjoy!

Kudos to Ubisoft for tackling a new open world game. It does feel very much like GTA but it's hacking feature gives it a new fresh flavor that will appeal to many. Here's hoping to some exciting DLC!

I really can't say enough about this game. This open world format even beats out the Assassin's Creed franchise, as you see real life landmarks within the city of Chicago. Take it from me, this will be $60 well spent and easily the best game you're going to get next Forza 5 if you own the Xbox One console.

Watchdogs brings a unique new concept into the repetitive world of video games. The gameplay is different than your typical open-world/RPG, but very fun. Hours and hours of side content if you want to explore to your heart's desire. Just wish they realized how bad their driving controls and physics are...

It's a good game that gives you multiple ways to complete a mission. Plenty of side missions to do. The driving could be improved. But it is an original game and that's what makes it good.

A gritty open world game set in future Chicago. I love all the hacking features and the cool ways they are implemented. This game has many flaws, but still an enjoyable experience.

HUGE amount of recorded dialog. Just about every citizen has something to say. They did a pretty good job making Chicago a living, breathing community. Overall, Watch Dogs, is like GTA with new elements of gameplay involved. The main protagonist, Adrian, gets xp for doing missions, side quests, etc. and each time he levels up, he gets points to use towards new hacking skills, combat skills, driving skills and crafting skills. So was it worth the wait? I believe so, they created a pretty solid game. I've only run into a few minor glitches. I've put in a few dozen hours already and have just scratched the surface of the first of 5 Acts of the game.

Really enjoy the game because of great game play and graphics. Wish the driving portion was better (prefer experience like GTA V) but still lots of fun. Multiplayer could be better.

This game has good graphic and story line. Game control is a little bit confusing. It takes a little while to get used to. Got it at under $15. Great price for a good game.

When all is said and done, this game is good - but not great. The hacking system is great, shooting mechanics aren't horrible. However, this game just feels unrefined. With the capabilities of the xbox one/ps4, this game just doesn't reach it's full potential. The driving mechanics are awful, and vehicle damage from collisions are basically nonexistent. Multiplayer is more or less 'forced' upon the player at random times, but it adds an interesting twist to gameplay. This game is could be summed up by "Meh. It's alright." Decent game, would recommend, but don't expect to be blown out of the water.

I have not played through this game entirely yet, but I must say that I'm highly impressed with where it's gone so far. Sure, it's very similar in play style to GTA but the hacking features bring something completely new to the table. Also, the story is absolutely solid.

Love the game so far not much of a story but side missions takes up your time. Graphics are legit and cars on demand is awesome. the police are no joke so you feel cool after escaping them. Try the game out!

This game bring in some new concepts of game play I've never seen. It's a little tough getting used to the controls. They don't seem as refined as some other open world games but I've enjoyed and should be able to get plenty of hours playing in playing this game.

Excellent graphics, a good story, and a fairly novel concept. It does feel a bit like Assassin's Creed at times, despite the slightly futuristic setting.
