    Watch Dogs does do some new things and does them very well. With few exceptions it’s a polished and fun game and well-worth a look.

    In the end Watch Dogs has plenty going for it, without quite living up to the hype. But, Aiden Pearce is a great character, and a very nice design, and the story has an engaging cyber-noir vibe going for it. Just keep your eyes down and your smartphone charged.

The explosions in my opinion are excellent. This game also boasts many mission and side quests, it will definitely keep you busy for a while. For those who have waited so long, it was worth it, enjoy. Expand

It's stupid to put this game down because of it's graphics, which I think are fine. While it has similarities to GTA, it tries something completely different, seeing the focus is hacking. For one thing, the story is much more in depth than just running around stealing cars, and the characters have a lot more personality. There's also a lot more to do in the open world, with many missions, side quests and collectibles. Although, the combat system is too stealth based, making most of the guns useless, and the world could use some more money sinks. In my opinion this game is much better than any of the GTA games, even though most of the internet would disagree with me. Expand

Thankfully the game doesn't fall under a lot of the same issues that plague the Assassin's Creed game. However some gameplay quirks, subpar graphics, a terribly wooden protagonist, and a very unsatisfying ending are make this game crash and burn. Expand

It has the same feeling as MGS: Ground Zeroes; basically that it is the prologue to a second game.
    Still fun though even if it isn't worth full price.

    Ubisoft shock their keys in front of our faces and hoped we'd be entertained. They failed for the most part.
