    The Original game didn't have a strong story and main character; however, it was an overall enjoyable game that delivered a lot of content and i was excited to see if the new DLC, Bad Blood could freshen things up and bring us a new perspective on things.

    Bad Blood is set after the events of the first game were you control Raymond Kenney, known as T-Bone. He was preparing to disappear of the grid after his final mission; however, he receives a desperate phone call from his former colleague, Tobias Frewar and T-bone agrees to help.

    T-Bone is a more likable character than Aiden and his relationship with Tobias is interesting as it gives us more depth into the characters. Bad Blood packs 10 main story missions that stick to the formula that worked well in the original and the campaign is around 6 hrs.

    T-Bone is equipped with a wrench and taser that are used for melee attacks, but playing him is very similar to Aiden and the skills and abilities are mostly the same. So upgrading doesn't feel very rewarding. There are a couple of new mechanics. You are now able to hack in to cameras equipped with guns to take out enemies. You will also be able to control an RC car that can be used for some missions. It is equipped with a camera and it can be used to infiltrate hostile territories for surveillance and hacking. Once updated, it can be used to stun enemies and can be detonated to take out many people at the same time.

    The story is average with nothing special; however, one of the main reasons to play Bad Blood is the highly addictive street pass missions that are very entertaining and are the highlights of the game. Missions ranges from neutralizing everyone one on sight, hacking in to target phones to destroying cargo. These missions include secondary objectives that are quite challenging.

    You can play solo or coop but street sweeper is much more fun if played with a partner as you will form strategies in approaching a mission from different angels.

    The overall DLC is enjoyable to play, with some memorable moments along the way and the interesting addition of the Co-op is high in replayabilty.    … Expand

    An above average add-on with a character more interesting than the one in the main game. Well thought out and worth it if you enjoyed the main game but didn't like Aiden

    The story is too short and forgettable, T-Bone is almost like Aiden, but has some different skills, the side quest are too repetitive, almost a copy of the based game. There are not any improvements, nor any new experience. The new only thing you get is a RC Car.

    Compared to Aiden Pearce, T-Bone is a much more likeable protagonist. Unfortunately, Bad Blood doesn’t do nearly enough to fix and improve the problems with Watch Dogs’ gameplay. The fact that T-Bone basically plays like a re-skinned Aiden doesn’t help. [Jan 2015]

    Bad Blood is certainly not a revolutionary downloadable content, nor it's able to change the minds of those who have already disliked the product by Ubisoft, but it's still a good DLC, with a far more charismatic protagonist than Aiden Pearce.

    Bad Blood is a solid DLC, with a lot of contents and a new (more empathic) protagonist.
