    If you mix GTA with Assassins Creed and push it into a hacker setting, you get Watch Dogs. And it works well. This was before the Ubisoft formula got repetitive and boring. Overall rating: 8,1.

    The graphics in this game are awesome, it's not going to blow your mind but it compares favorably to any other next gen game considering the size and scope of the city and it's inhabitants. I like the variety of vehicles to choose from (not as much as GTA V but still varied enough), if we're going to compare elements then i'll say one thing, the shooting and cover elements in Watch Dogs are a lot better than GTA but the driving mechanics a little clunky but still decent enough.

    Overall i'd say this game more than merits it's $59.99 price tag with a long story mode, multiplayer, mini games and side misions. Instead of whining about games borrowing elements from other games, let's be honest , what game hasn't borrowed elements from past games at all? instead of criticizing that let's just applaud how developers are able to take elements from other games and are able to mesh those elements with original ones in order to come up with such awesome games regardless of genre or platform.    … Expand

    Watch Dogs, ясное дело, — это первая часть на сегодняшний день уже трилогии и старт одной из самых успешных линеек игр от Ubisoft.

Первые Сторожевые Псы вышли в далеком уже 2014 году и это слегка напрягало, давненько уж. Мы-то с женой прошли сначала вторую часть, затем слопали с удовольствием великолепный Legion. Вот особенно после яркой весьма реалистичной лондонской хакерской истории гнать к корням в Чикаго было страшновато. Опасения в итоге были напрасны, ибо игра, сверхочевидно, до сих пор прекрасно поддерживается разработчиками и выглядит на текущий момент конечно не круче Легиона, но однозначно лучше второй части. К слову, ее-то мы прошли более года назад, возможно в ней тоже гайки успели подкрутить. Итак возвращаемся к Watch Dogs номер 1. Первая часть как ни странно не поведает нам душераздирающую присказку основания DedSec, они тут будут, но роль их какая-то второго и даже третьего плана. Ребята вроде бы за справедливость идейно, но их тут совсем мало и ничем они особым не запомнились, разве что редкими допмиссиями, за которые отваливали хорошие пушки ну и по сюжету изредка мелькали. А вот точно мы узнаем много об Эйдене Пирсе — хакере, который мстит за смерть своей племянницы. В поисках виноватых наш протагонист не чурается вписаться в бандитские разборки, находит внезапно предателей среди своих друзей, при этом получает поддержку от новых знакомых, доходит до самых верхушек прогнившей власти, которая охотно сотрудничает с боссами чикагской мафии. Видимо Эйден очень любил свою племяшку, раз поднял на уши весь город. Сценарий сносный, звезд с неба не хватает и до мурашек не пробирает, но для крепкого боевичка вполне себе сойдет. Геймплей традиционно прекрасен и не уступает двум последующим частям и даже где-то их превосходит — преимущественно это касается большого разнообразия огнестрельного оружия и приятной стрельбы из него и, даже с управлением автомобилями я проблем никаких не увидел, наслышан что раньше ругали, не Codemasters конечно, но весьма недурно, с учетом что это побочный процесс в игре. Ловушки в первом Watch Dogs работают на мгновенное нажатие в отличие от того к чему мы уже привыкли. Есть у Эйдена Пирса макспэйновское замедление времени для более четкого прицеливания в бошки вражеских юнитов, тоже вполне себе полезный навык. Да и примочек в первой части у нашего героя достаточно много, и я вот некоторые из них не припомню в последующих Сторожевых Псах — такие как блэкаут- достаточно прикольная фишка с временным отключением всего света в районе, или гаситель сканеров полиции. Общий уровень сложности игры показался повыше чем во второй и третьей части, что ей пошло только на пользу.… Expand

    It is a good game. The game play is good, hacking is a nice feature, and works well with the story. The weapons are awesome, and are useful. The ending was good, and the only slow part was in the beginning scenes. Online modes are okay, but needed work. Fun game, recommend this.

    Alors que Rockstar a inventé le genre et ne cesse d'échouer au fil des ans dans ses itérations de GTA, Ubisoft a repris le flambeau tombé dans le caniveau et a réussi son "GTA" : c'est en effet un GTA repensé de la cave au grenier, soigneusement ciselé et proche d'une certaine perfection.

    Volition avec ses Saints Row 3 et 4 avait déjà fait bien mieux que Rockstar et proposé une approche déjantée et jubilatoire, là où d'autres se sont cassés les dents (cf Sleeping Dogs...). Ubisoft fidèle à sa politique de fusion de ses licences a accompli l'incroyable : un savant et très étudié mélange de Splinter Cell, Far Cry et Assassin's Creed dans un monde à la GTA avec une pincée de Deus Ex.

    On a donc une maniabilité et une interface impeccables, une belle et grande ville très vivante, un contenu pantagruélique, une conduite des véhicules à la fois exigeante et amusante et un niveau technique élevé, aussi beau qu'un certain GTA 5, ce qui n'est pas un mince compliment. Le tout est dans une excellente version française intégrale y compris les voix talentueuses de nos doubleurs et doubleuses reconnus et confirmés : voilà qui change agréablement du marshmallow amerloque.

    Watch Dogs est aussi un "GTA" plus mature et moins débile que les jeux de Rockstar. On est pas dans la caricature tarantineuse permanente et on n'incarne pas une pathétique racaille dont la gueule est une trappe à ordures : on a en effet le choix de se comporter comme quelqu'un de civilisé. Les habitants ne sont pas qu'une bande d'abrutis agglutinés en troupeau, comme autant de caricatures grotesques, ce qui n'empêche pas non plus Watch Dogs de faire preuve d'un humour appréciable ici et là.

    Les missions proposent une impressionnante variété, que ce soit dans la campagne ou les très nombreux à-côtés et l'approche choisie par Ubisoft privilégie l'infiltration même si l'on peut faire parler la poudre dans presque toutes les situations. Ce "presque" a son importance, car on l'a compris, Watch Dogs n'est pas un GTA stricto sensu et utilise les mécaniques raffinées des Splinter Cell et Assassin's Creed, ce qui implique une furtivité notoire dans ses gènes.

    Je disais en introduction que Watch Dogs n'est pas loin d'une certaine perfection. Il n'est donc pas parfait hélas : le point sur lequel Ubisoft doit progresser concerne la narration et les dialogues ainsi que les personnages : c'est plutôt naze, il faut bien le dire et si les missions de la campagne sont toujours intéressantes, on se demande bien pourquoi on les fait au juste. Ici, j'ai décroché rapidement, l'histoire étant aussi incompréhensible que confuse et maladroite.

    Au final, un faible prix à payer quand on constate le travail titanesque réalisé sur cette nouvelle licence, hydride des meilleures idées de jouabilité qu'ait jamais eu Ubisoft jusqu'ici, un régal !    … Expand

    This game is actually not too bad. While it didn't "live up to the hype", it still had a lot too it. It's so addicting to hack stuff, like traffic lights and stuff. It was kind of bland in certain areas, like some of the story. Not to mention the driving wasn't that great either. But this game is pretty good for what it is, and definitely not as bad as a lot of people say.

    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.

After much E3 hype, it certainly doesn't live up to expectations. But despite many flaws, the game is also very entertaining. In it, players step into the shoes of Aiden Pierce, a hacker whose daughter is accidently killed after a botched job. This tragedy involves Aiden's former friend who forces him into committing a series of major cyber crimes. It's a premise that could've been featured in a TV show, but the tone is jarring; a mix of satire and seriousness. The gameplay, on the other hand, is consistent in providing open-world fun. Just with a cell phone (!), you create major havoc by controlling traffic lights, creating black outs, raising street barriers and stopping trains. The story based missions are fun, if a bit familiar.

    "Watch Dogs" also features a progression system similar to many open-world adventures. You unlock various weapons and abilities as you complete the campaign and optional objectives. Aiden can also hack into the phones of pedestrians to steal their money. The more entertaining mini-games include "Digital Trips" and "Phone Games" which emulate retro arcades. And like in "Far Cry 3", you must hack into towers if want to expand the map's various missions. Character customization is limited to slightly different wardrobes and there are four different "skill trees" which can be upgraded as you gain "experience points".

    In the two of the online modes, you can either hack or tail another player which can lead to chases or deaths if you are discovered. And you can also race others while they try to stop you by raising barriers or bridges and hacking traffic lights. The online Mobile Challenge is basically a race to the finish line, but the catch is that a real person with a tablet can stop your progress by hacking street lights, barriers, etc. The next-gen versions of "Watch Dogs" also include Encryption, a "Splinter Cell"-like mode in which two groups battle for a laptop they must hack and an 8-player "Free Roam" mode. Overall, the game is fun, but it can be disappointing for those expecting major innovation. 8 out of 10 Collapse    … Expand

Looking at it now 2 years later, one sees that graphics have evolved since then (although the graphics in Watch Dogs certainly are not bad). At some points, I was a little bit confused by the main protagonist: on the one hand, he is a hardcore hacker, but on the other hand he runs around with guns like an action hero - this could have been done better (either hacker OR action hero).

    If you were expecting Watch Dogs to take the genre in new directions then you’re going to be sorely disappointed. With that being said, Watch Dogs is still an engaging and often times surprising action game.

    With this introduction to the world of hacking Ubisoft have created a behemoth of an IP, one that promises much. Like its predecessor though, we’ll have to wait for the tighter and more focussed second iteration, removing what didn’t work and improving that which did, to realise that full potential.

    Consistently entertaining but lacking in originality, Watch Dogs boasts a hugely promising concept but finds itself coasting along on the triumphs of others. You won’t be disappointed, but you won’t be surprised either.
