The whole game is original and a really enjoyable open world game...I liked GTA V and I must say that WatchDogs is so much more fun.
   
   And for everybody who is so disapointed about graphics....you are just stu*id...the game look better then any other game on PS3...it's just normal that it don't look as nice as the PS4 version...you dont have to spend 400$ to get the ps4 and you can play this awesome game....what's the problem ?..if you want to have really nice graphic go get a PS4 and stop saying that the graphic are bad...It's like if you were saying that a game look REALLY bad because you watched a video of the game running on 2000$ PC and it was so much nicer....seriously....please, try to be smart just a little bit....… Expand

Although the developers did not want to say this, Aiden is ready to kill hundreds of people for the sake of his family, by the end of the game we forget that we are not a murderer, but a family man who wants to save his family… Expand

But I liked it more when it was called GTA V. Or I guess a more appropriate title would be GTA 4.5, judging by the graphics and the setting. Don't get me wrong, it's not awful...just really seems like Ubisoft stole a *lot* from Rockstar. I can't help but impress that upon you in this review.
   GTA comparisons aside, judging the game in its own right, it's pretty fun! I love the real life city of Chicago, so half the fun for me was riding a motorcycle around the Loop, using my hacker prowess to turn drawbridges into huge ramps. As many people have already stated, the graphics don't quite seem like they're up-to-the-minute for 2014. But many gamers are also incredibly entitled; the graphics are by no means **** although I'm sure they're orgasmic on the PS4. I thought the actual city of Chicago and it's neighborhoods were very well rendered, even if they've summarized the entire L network into a general loop around the map.
   I would say one of the game's strongest points, and probably one it does at least as well as GTA V, is its side content. The Digital Trips are hilarious and awesome. From ballooning around the city on giant bouncy plants to driving a muscle car through a hellish landscape full of demons, they're very entertaining. The Cash Runs and NVZN are also a lot of fun in between missions. Some of the spying side-missions kinda make me feel like a voyeur, but some of the hacked files are pretty humorous. There's also 100 different City Hotspots to check in at. On top of having little rewards at each one, like money or ammunition or meds, they also have some (often tongue-in-cheek) information about Chicago.
   I haven't gotten far enough in the actual game to really comment on the campaign missions, but they seem solid enough. Nothing too inventive or novel so far, but they're, well, missions. Lots of hacking into ctOS servers, shooting, escaping and busting criminal convoys. All pretty fun, and it even has "Focus," which would be akin to the characters' Special Abilities from, you guessed it, GTA V. Except in Watch Dogs it only applies to Aiden during shoot-outs.
   Speaking of Aiden, and most other characters in the game, he wasn't too memorable for me. He seemed to be doing his own thing, and he had an air of mystery about him, which is cool, fits the game...but his character really didn't speak to me on any particular level. I couldn't really associate much with him. Even the other characters, like the cyber-punk Lille, were cool visually, but weren't blessed with much personality. For Aiden, you can purchase new outfits for him, some of which are kinda neat, but all of which look virtually the same.
   The mechanics of the game are decent, nothing special. Typical cover, run-and-gun, stealth, physical takedowns, etc.
   Now, I appear to be seriously nitpicking the game, and in a more negative way, but I still gave it an 8. The fact of the matter is, if I could give it a 7.5, I would. Watch Dogs is a very decent and enjoyable game in its own right. It's just that compared to Grand Theft Auto V (which came out, what, 8 months before?), it seems like it had the same ideas but executed them with less panache (at best), or shamelessly stole them outright (at worst).
   Having said that, if you can find it for a discount price, get it.… Expand

   Got to be honest. Rented the game as I was leery of it. GTA V wanna be to some degree, but ultimately this is like the first Assassin's Creed,Got to be honest. Rented the game as I was leery of it. GTA V wanna be to some degree, but ultimately this is like the first Assassin's Creed, minus the graphics and the awesome setting, in that the missions are insanely over done; ie. go here then here, pick up person A here, shoot person here, and on and on. Nothing new, the game in help is borderline missing and much trial and error is needed, so expect much learning. Weapons were an after thought and not really part of the game to great degree. The hacking is a bit of just an over developed mini-game that quite frankly is just really not that impressive. As for driving, this can be fun, but with all the other issues, really does help the situation.
   Understand, I wanted to like this game, I really did, but the graphics, even for a PS3 are horrid, and the game feels like they fell short for some reason and didn't polish it out.
   I would wait for the bargain bin before buying full MSRP.… Expand

I own over 50 games, and not once in all my years of gaming(im 38)i can count on 1 hand how many times I wanted my money back. This is one of those times!!!! So disappointed in this game. granted I have been playing GTAV on ps3, so maybe I'm a bit jaded. UBI screwed the pooch. Drive 1/10 on foot 3/10 story 3/10 side missions 2/10 hacking8/10(for the first day then slowly drops due to boredom) cops 1/10. now there are a few things that keep me playing, mostly due to the fact my girlfriend bought it for my bday so I feel obligated to at least complete the story. the iphone app is kinda kool in concept, but, meh. another thing thats huge disappointment, I can buy a few guns(not a huge inventory)but no body armor? weak sauce... also wardrobe, HORRIBLE... here is a lame wardrobe, but in different colors, ya!!! not... the AI is short of riding the short yellow bus... now what can I say that is good..... mmmm still trying to find something that justifies 60 bux..... those that bash the negative reviews may either be young and inexperienced or work for ubi. Do yourself a favor, rent it, buy it used, or dont buy it at all. Trust me, its not worth the 60+ dollars... lucky for me, I got skyrim new for 5$, and while its no fallout, its way better than this garbage...… Expand
