Watch Dogs has a tremendous amount of hype to live up to. Its unveiling last year (and subsequent delay) caused ripples throughout the gaming community at large. Well it's finally here and, boy does it ever live up to the hype.

A great disappointment, I had high hopes for a real hacking game but the hacking mechanics very quickly turn into rather standard, boring superpowers-at-the-click-of-a-button. This is Hollywood Hacking at its worst, with characters pressing a single button to make all the lights in a city go out.

Not content with letting people explore the past with the Assassin's Creed series, Ubisoft has created another open-world adventure set in the future with Watch Dogs. New there are motorised vehicles and gadgets to interact with, and the parkour gameplay from Assassin's Creed has been replaced with...

Detailed game world; Solid narrative and characters; Responsive controls

Not as ambitious as it could be; Unexciting car chases; Graphics could be nicer

Watch Dogs borrows a lot of tried and tested concepts, adds a healthy dose of unique uberhacking, and rounds out as an enjoyable game that's laid the foundations for a sequel to blow us away.

+ Action-heavy gameplay; + Hacking mechanics; + Multiplayer; + Chicago

- Driving mechanics; - Police/hired goon chases; - Most characters are boring; - Ideas noticeably held back by cross-gen

Great game! I bought this game about two months a go and I can safely say it's the best game I have bought on my ps4. And I have games like ghost,ac4,battlefield 4 and fifa14.the story is fantastic and with a wide range of multiplayer modes which a enjoy.

I don't see myself finishing this game. Played it twice and gave up and quit on it both times. Sure it's not bad for a first attempt at an open world game, but it is far from a great game, and far from a next gen game.

Received it from nextworld seller with good packing. The game is not bad. Graphic is quite impressive. Though gameplay is bit repetitive but i personally liked it after few days of gaming.

Watch Dogs won't please everyone. Its shallow narrative and bland protagonist detract, but those looking for a finely-crafted open world game that eschews parody and satire for an overall darker tone will have a great time in Watch Dogs' digital Chicago.
