In realistic mode, hacking is mostly useful on ennemis, the rest not so much, except bomb.

My younger brother loves glitches so much, he doesn't think he has beaten a game if he hasn't glitched it before.

This review just comes off as petty and nitpicky.

I disagree with this review.... While its not the best game out, I enjoyed the story and gun play. The driving is the worst I have ever seen though. The hacking and graphics were oversold for sure, but its still worth a play. I would pick SS for my next gen open world fix but this game is getting too much flack for being overhyped. It wasn't even Ubi's fault. Its the gamers that overhyped this game with ridiculous expectations. When I saw it for the first time in 12, I knew exactly what to expect and I was not disappointed.

This game is fun thanks to great shooting and cover mechanics and the world has a great atmosphere, especially during storms. Chicago is I think actually the best part of the entire game.

Sadly, the whole story and characters including voice-acting, dialogue, structure etc. is utterly bad, almost unbearable in some places. To that come all the flaws and quite many unpolished aspects, which break the immersion quite often. I hope the directors learn alot from the mistakes as Watch Dogs has additionally a significant amount of bad game design choices - there are some really outdated, strange and non-completed aspects in the game, particularly during the main missions.

Nonetheless, some are trying too hard to bash on the game. It's certain not great, but it's still quite good - 7.5/10. A good purchase+resale or rent for early adopters. Ubisoft did an amazing job at marketing this game, therefore also the tremendous sales...well, and maybe that very first E3 trailer helped too xD
