    Definitely not the worst multiformat port a Nintendo console has had to endure, but the low frame rate and lack of new features makes it almost entirely pointless.

    Technically speaking, this Wii U version of Watch_Dogs is awful. Add to this the lack of control while moving the camera, targeting or driving, and we can say that the 6 months-delay wasn't worth the wait... Next!

    I don't want to spend a lot of time to write in details why this game is bad as I already wasted 70 EUR.

    - Graphics are a shame : Strong    I don't want to spend a lot of time to write in details why this game is bad as I already wasted 70 EUR.

    - Graphics are a shame :
    Strong and permanent aliasing (welcome back to the PS2 era)
    Half of the world pops up (when driving above 20 MPH)

    - Gameplay is at an alpha stage :
    Driving a car makes me laugh
    Driving a bike makes me cry
    Can't jump (and this is annoying)

    This is a first time I write a review online because it is the first time I felt raped.
    Also, because I find it less painful than actually playing to the game.

    I am sure some part of you is still thinking that Watch Dogs could be a good deal if bought used against 20 bucks. It is NOT.

    This game is boring, totally (and will make you sick).    … Full Review »

    The 'hacking' is horrible, the health/hurt is horrible, the driving and cars are horrible. After a while, everything's the boring same. The ARThe 'hacking' is horrible, the health/hurt is horrible, the driving and cars are horrible. After a while, everything's the boring same. The AR mini games are fun, thank god for those, but only once or twice. The problem isn't just not living up to the enormous hype, it's just not a good game. The story is ridiculous and I can't help but HATE the very self absorbed, annoying main character. Zero replay value.… Full Review »

    I'm going to be completely up front about this. Watch Dogs is not good. It's very bad. I've played Saints Row 4 and I thought this game wasI'm going to be completely up front about this. Watch Dogs is not good. It's very bad. I've played Saints Row 4 and I thought this game was going to be like that. But, holy crap, I was wrong. This game has absolutely NO effort put into it. It's overflowing with sex, drugs, and swearing, to the point where you're wondering WHY you're playing such an immature game. The main character is generic and boring. Hacking has... well... NO purpose!! The city is less alive than Superman Returns. It is overflowing with bugs and glitches. The most you do with hacking is do an occasional puzzle minigame. Yup, that's it. The story is awful and lazy. Ubisoft just TRIES to make a GTA game but this..? This is an AWFUL game. It has NO purpose. YOU HAVE BEEN LIED TO, GAMERS!! DO NOT BUY WATCH DOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!… Full Review »
