Game really shines at night in the rain when you're walking around the city hacking unsuspecting victims. I enjoyed some of the gangster hideout missions and the criminal convoy sidequests. However the protagonist of the game Aiden Pierce and the story did not keep me interested for very long and the driving feels very awkward. I traded it in before I finished the game.

I waited since launch of the Xbox one to get this game. It is easily the best game out so far. Story is good, but is a little depressing. Plays like a futuristic version of GTA. Worth every penny.

Excellent game. Very GTA'like, but still unique in its own. Love the hacking ability. Good storyline behind it and a little bit of a steep learning curve but still easy enough to pick up and play

Pretty darn good. Gets repetitive about 60% through story. Well worth the current lower price.

I would not say this game is bad, but, as with most sandbox games, it's easy to get distracted by doing non-story line quests. However, it makes sure that the main quest line is well marked and getting around can be fun. The hacking, the main push of the game, does seem overly simple and is less of a new feature and more of a re-hash of picking pockets or disabling traps.
Overall, it has been enjoyable game.

When I saw the trailer for Watch Dogs I, like many others, immediately wanted more. The down side to trailers hyping up the game as much as this did for me is that usually the finished product is not nearly as good as the presented product. Watch Dogs definitely defied the norm in this regard. The story line has a good background and the gameplay is really addicting. Hacking other characters phones, finding about and stopping potential criminals, everything about the game just made me want to keep playing. The only thing I have found a little annoying so far are the vehicle controls but even then they are manageable.

Watchdogs is a great game. I have seen previews for it for such a long time, but after a while I started to lose interest as it all started looking repetitive. As the release got closer I got a bit more excited, especially after beating all the games I had. I ended up pre ordering the game and picking it up on release date. the game is awesome. if you walk in with an open mind (Rather than comparing to other games like GTAV) you will have a great time. there is so much to do, so much that sometimes I forget to do missions, as im so sidetracked with side missions...which is a good thing in my opinion.

The game is a lot of fun to play and it presents a lot interesting abilities at first glance. The much talked about hacking is fun for the first few hours, but then quickly becomes a bore and the information you can see on the NPC's is quickly ignored.
The phone conversations are comical, but often inappropriate, especially for kids. The game is also over sexualized for no reason at all, it doesn't enhance the story at all, it is just a distraction.
As far as the characters go, Aiden was uninteresting but Claire was surprising endearing by the end. It was difficult for me to care all that much about Aiden because he is essentially a bad guy taking out bad guys. However, the bad guys are the kind that I love to hate so I was satisfied with the way he went about dispatching the main bad guy.
The hacking is most useful in car chases and that is when it really shines as promised.

Really great game that emphasizes hacking an entire city's wireless infrastructure over mindless shooting. Definitely, a must-buy if you like open-world exploration games, though the multiplayer portion could be better. Graphics - 4, Sound - 5, Gameplay - 5, Multiplayer - 3, Fun Factor - 4.
21/5 = 4.2 Rating.

I haven't finished the game yet, so I can't give a full all inclusive review. It has a long campaign, over 20+ hours, so you're getting your moneys worth and thats even without the umpteen side missions you can complete. The plot is engaging and the multiplayer is a great time. The companion app, when it works, is very cool as well. I'm glad they took the extra time to release it.

I thought that this game was a decent open world game. It was nothing to new in its entirety. The game was overly hyped and I think I expected a lot more from it. It was entertaining but I did find myself just trying to rush through the missions just to finish it. I did not want to waste my time with any of the surplus of side missions and games that were less intriguing.

Overall, I am thoroughly enjoying my time with this game.
This is the type of game I have been waiting to hit the Xbox One for some time now.
There are some confusing aspects to the game and in some parts it feels unfinished, but I think that is how all first games in a new franchise are.
This game is good, and I feel like the sequel could be great if they fill the holes.

Addicting and fun to play. Catch myself caught in side missions a lot and not just the campaign missions. Big city with tons of things to collect and do.
