Watch Dogs is a really great game. The Hacking is something new and amazingly fun. The Driving is kind of lame but its not horrible. I haven't tried the online yet but everyone says its a great bonus to the already amazing watch dogs. I am happy I got it.

Its a worthy addition to the xbox one game library. I feel like its not as polished as the new Grand Theft Auto but still very fun to play. The story taking place in Chicago is awesome. At times you feel like you are driving through the streets of Chicago. The only complaints I have is that the story line is all over the place. Also this game was hyped up to be the best game ever but its just a good game. It's not bad I just feel like the hype took away from the game after playing it. I recommend purchasing it but don't expect to have your mind blow over it.

Gta meets hacking. I'm a big fan of gta so I definitely what ubisoft did with watch dogs. There's so much to do. Plus there's an open world environment thanks to the next generation gaming consoles, I love playing watch dogs on my xbox one!

If you like GTA5, you'll like Watch Dogs especially if you love technology helping to drive the plot. This is a reason I love the game, but also one of the reasons I dislike it and have trouble finding the motivation to play it.
There are interesting game mechanics such as hacking and using the environment to aid in your escape or distract/attack enemies. One example of this is the ability to control traffic lights to cause accidents behind you (if timed right, if not, you become part of the accident...) to escape police or stop someone you're trying to chase in a car.
So far, I'm enjoying the game, although I've not finished it yet, I can see myself sticking it out to the end. With time at a premium these days, finding a game that warrants a full playthrough with so many other games vying for my attention.

Watch Dogs is a really fun game and has AMAZING graphics on the Xbox One and great gameplay. The story is top notch and the multiplayer is okay. There does need to be some changes though but overall a good game that a recommend you get.

I enjoy the free roam the game has to offer. The hacking is what really separates this game from something like GTA or Saints Row.

Feels like a modern day or 21st century assassin's creed. You run around and complete missions. Hilarious mini games integrated into the game. Only thing that stinks is the driving dynamics, they aren't horrible for a game like this but could have been tweaked slightly for a little bit more response in my opinion. If you hit a person you lose reputation points, kind of diffcult to not when you are being chased by the police and trying to evade. Overall, gameplay is enjoyable but might get a bit tedious.

I need more time available to play! There is so much to do you can get lost for hours hacking bridges, banks, and even security blockades. It's fun going through the story line or invading other players games to hack them!

The ability to play the game your way. Hacking opens different avenues to attack your enemies or to become the night as you plan to escape your enemies or the cops. The game mechanics work making no steep learning curve.

WATCH_DOGS is a lot like GTA but with a higher connection to the city itself. There are a variety (a lot) of things you can access throughout the city. From ATM's to cash in on cash to opening and closing gates to get away from chasers. I have found that it can be tesious at times with what you do in missions, but doing the little things in between missions really helps with fixing that. Overall a fun game to sit back and play for hours at a time. Nothing really like this game on the market.

I have only played a couple of days, but so fast the story is cool, the openness of the city is amazing, and even though the having is somewhat simplistic, it's still fun to run around having into everything you can.

So far I am getting my money's worth with Watchdogs. The story line is good the freedom is great and the ability to be sadistic is everywhere. The online intrusions are a lot of fun but become more predictable as the hacking bar progresses towards 100%
There are reports of people logging out at 90% or so which I hope gets fixed or at least gives the intruding person credit for hacking. Overall you'll have a lot of fun as there is not many games like this on current gen out there.
Ubisofts game makes for great fun but the multiplayer side could use either more game modes are the ability to have more players. I am grateful that we have free roam mode at least as on the old Gen consoles the mode is not available if what I am reading is correct.

Watch Dogs is a pretty solid open world game. The hacking mechanics are a fresh take on the genre, though they don't feel as cool as I thought they'd be. The graphics are a little lackluster, considering it was postponed to polish them up for the next-gen consoles. The amount of side quests and information you get on people via hacking is where it shines. You get a little background info on people, and some of their phone calls/text conversations are hilarious.
