    This game has many problems. But actually I like this game. I mean it wasn't that bad. Also I want to say on xbox 360 there is a downgrade. This game is average game for 2014.

    this game promises a lot, and is played almost badly by God, the driving is very bad coming from the same people who made driver and the combat is stupidly bad and is bugged but not able

    the art in this game is more or less acceptable but even so it is very boring and generic of the same stereotype of the hacker

    conclusions: if I have to be honest I lose time of my life giving a note to this game and for the love of God buy something more complete and fun

    Story 2/10

    Gameplay: 3/10

    Art: 5/10

    Final note: 3

    Bought this game on sale for $5.00 and regret doing it. Interesting concept but couldn't get into it at all. The story is pretty lame I couldn't relate to the character at all. Screen tearing is very bad yet another graphics over gameplay release.

    O jogo tem seus altos e baixos, um baixo é a história meio sem sentido e fraca, outro ponto baixo é a jogabilidade meio confusa.Mas tem seus pontos altos como as coisas que você pode hackear, perseguições a pé ou de carro e fugas da policia são muito divertidas e se você tem o sonho de ser um justiceiro(como eu) não vai se arrepender em jogar esse jogo.

    A Great game with inexcusable flaws
    Watch Dogs unfortunately suffers from hype...
    It promised amazing graphics and a deep open world, this is never achieved, but the 18 hour campaign featured here is one of the best open world campaigns I’ve played in a while..
    Watch Dogs is a 3r5d person open world shooter game with a dash of puzzle…
    You play as Aiden Pierce trying to get to the bottom of his Nieces murder…
    The story telling in Watch Dogs is great… Especially when your focus changes from your niece to someone else that I won’t mention to prevent spoilers, but I feel like the transition was perfect due to that connection… it makes you care... it keeps you pushing forward… but at the same time you’re still going after everyone involved in the initial hit…
    And again the writing and introduction to each character in the story is so great that you’ll either really love or really hate someone… you feel pierces emotion personally which creates a great deal of immersion in this story..
    To get information on locations you have to hack into buildings and severs…
    And there’s freedom in the way you can approach this…
    Watch Dogs works great as a 3rd person shooter with an intuitive cover system… an easy to access weapons wheel, tons of weapon variety, a great amount of ammo and crafting parts for bombs… a great stealth system to silently take enemies down or take them out with a silenced pistol…
    Or you can hack cameras and explosives…
    I personally had the most fun jumping from camera to camera, waiting for opportunities to explode fuse boxes, trigger alarms for a takedown set up… activating the grenades inside of enemy pockets…
    Many times during the story I didn’t have to fire a single bullet to get everything I came for..
    I hopped from camera to camera hacked into the system and left…
    Hacking here is very simple and comes down to a pipe type puzzle of feeding a blue line into other pieces and unlocking them. And these sections are the only mandatory hacking sections as again you can just play as a third person shooter if you’d like…
    Outside of the 18 hour campaign though is the open world of Chicago and unfortunately the open world is the weakest aspect in the entire game…
    Think of this more as a hub world to extend play time by spreading out mission locations, because ubisoft took 0 note in crafting this open world as it has issues in its open world I haven’t ran into since the PlayStation 2….
    Cars will disappear from where you left them if you run into a building to start a mission and come back out…
    During chases you have to ram cars to stop them or hack the world around you... which is actually a great deal of fun during intense chases, to blow up streets, raise bridges and road blocks while youre chasing or being chased by the police…
    But you cant shoot out of your window to shoot out tires despite enemies being able to shoot while driving…
    Another annoyance with these chase missions is that if you do get the person youre chasing stuck, you cant just pull them out of the vehicle theyre in… the only way to continue is shoot them through the window or get back into your car and ram them until they get out…
    This isn’t too annoying in story, but is highly annoying in online play when you have a random player trying to hack you…
    You can turn this feature off, but anyone at any time can enter your world and you can do the same entering there’s for rep, or co-op and competitive fun like races…
    But again these are real people... not ai controlled enemies, so trying to get a head shot on someone in a vehicles is much harder to do in this instance…
    And then theres hacking npcs to profile them…. To stop crimes from happening before they happen... I personally didn’t enjoy this aspect at all, I found it to be shallow filler and had no interest in doing random chases as again the campaign created such a great deal of urgency that it created tunnel vision for me…
    While Wacth_Dogs didn’t deliver the ground breaking experience it promised.. If you can look past those promises for what it actually is, it’s a great game with a great story.
    I give Watch_Dogs
    an 8.5/10

    This is one of those games where the hype for it was so monumentally high, and the final product was so average, that the review score seems to indicate that karma could be real. 18 months later the review aggregates seem to accurately reflect the quality of the final product, which doesn't happen with all games (I'm looking at you, Bioshock: Infinite...) Breaking it down:

    Story: I don't feel overly qualified to comment on this, as I never finished it. What I can comment on is the reason I didn't finish it: BORING! First off, Aiden Pearce has to be one of gaming's dullest, least interesting protagonists. His niece dies and it's basically all his fault, and how does he respond? Kill anyone even remotely involved with the incident, and remotely steal the bank accounts of literally anyone in Chicago...even the poor bastards with $50 in their accounts. This is the disjointed result of a game design in which the world you are put in is a morally ambiguous playground ala Grand Theft Auto, but the protagonist is meant to be a principled family man set on a path of retribution. Huge parts of the game become jarring once the player inevitably has Aiden go on a GTA-style spree.

    Gameplay: Mostly your typical third-person action fare, with some driving mechanics. The shooting is fine for what it is. Driving is less so, feeling more like the cars are boats than in GTA. Aiden's main advantage is his ability to hack into Chicago's ctOS software, and although it can result in some cool events, the actual game mechanic is pretty much as simple as a button press. It also adds numerous little mini-games and QTEs which honestly could be left out entirely.

    Graphics/Sound: I'll begin by saying that I am not a graphics freak. Gameplay is approximately 100x as important as graphics in my opinion. That said, Ubisoft sold us a lemon with the graphics of this game. The E3 trailers and demos were clearly run on way-high-end PCs that could not be replicated on current gen consoles (let alone last gen...360/PS3). Usually I wouldn't make a stink over the graphical issues, but this is a case of a game developer clearly trying to pass off a product as better than it actually was, and that deserves a backlash. Otherwise, we'd all better get used to drooling over E3 trailers and then being let down at release.

    In sum, this is a game that tried to hard to be too many things, and ended up being average in most categories. It didn't do so poorly that the franchise is dead in the water, so let's hope Ubisoft puts on their big boy pants and makes Watch_Dogs 2 what this game was advertised to be.

    If the actual game was nearly as good as the hype it received before launch, i would have named this game, "Game Of The Year". But sadly this game is anything but. An excellent concept, with a fresh new experience, all wrapped up in a bland, uncreative, forgettable, cash-grabbing 60+ dollar package, Watch Dogs.

    Amazing game, my plus was that i didn't know what to expect. I haven't seen graphics that were on E3. I just hopped into game and enjoy it, story was great and upgrading system too. I don't get why are people so disappointed with this. Well, ubisoft didn't use all potential that game about hacking can use, but still a great game.

    Bad story, bad car controls, lame music, and boring side quest. The game kind of looks nice, but not really. The game play is good, the stealth is good, hacking can be cool, and has interesting characters. But I cant recommend this game for everyone.

    When I started up Watch Dogs on my 360, I was worried. Really worried. When I heard about rumors of scaled-down graphics and gameplay, I was definitely worried, as I'm sure any gamer would be. But Watch Dogs surprised me. Sure, the graphics for Xbox 360 are less impressive than its current-gen cousin, the Xbox One, but that does not take away from the fun factor at all.

The gameplay turned out to be extremely fun, which pleased me and made me not want to put my controller down. The online hacking is most definitely the best and most intense part of the game, as you either hack someone and hide to stay alive until it finishes, or find the person who's hacking you and..... "take care" of them. The most ingenious mechanic in the game is definitely the hacking. You can disrupt traffic lights and blow up steam pipes, and even access personal information and bank accounts from people on the street. The story could have been a little bit better, but there are some very interesting characters, like Jordi Chin and Bedbug, so it isn't all that bad. Overall, Watch Dogs for Xbox 360 is an immense amount of fun, despite a somewhat lackluster story and something that didn't entirely match what we saw at E3 2012. Still, you'd be stupid to pass up a chance to play this game. Expand

While it has similarities to GTA, it tries something completely different, seeing the focus is hacking.

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.

    Honestly you would think ubisoft could come up with some fresh ideas. The whole interface is pretty much a copy and paste job from Far Cry and/or Assassins Creed.

    How about, as an example, coming up with a character you could actually care about to play as. Here's a crazy idea ubisoft, how about a customisable character that you can relate to rather than the bland beardy loser we are stuck with here.

    This isn't helped by the environment being unconvincing and lacking any real detail. The game suffers from some pretty terrible driving mechanics with cars that have no brakes, a tendency to spin out even at low speeds and collisions that are a bit like being on a bouncy castle. And oh, my, god, the vehicle sounds - did they sample a selection of lawnmowers?

    However, for all its flaws, it is vaguely entertaining for a long weekend. There are the beginnings of a decent idea here so lets hope ubisoft hire some designers with a little imagination by the time the second, third, fourth, fifth or sixth sequels come along.

    Its a interestingly average game. 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.

Forget about the PS4 version you see in YouTube, which is superior and consider this as a nice game for your X360's engine and go for it.

    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.

    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.
