Fun game to play and I would recommend it if ... By: BenC, on November 22, 2017 Pros: Cons: "Fun game to play and I would recommend it if you're into tech and gaming centered around it. It's definitely fun playing in SanFran and some of the missions are fun others can be mundane. Personally I feel games such as WatchDogs are fun at the start but don't pull me in enough to finish them and thus I always just stop playing it after a while. |

Glad this was a free addon on black friday By: Sat T, on October 15, 2017 Pros: Cons: "OK game, better than the first game had more pointless things to do much like all ubisoft games. The story was OK but it seemed a bit forced and glued together just to make the game a bit longer, either that or something was cut that would've helped the flow of the narrative. Free foam was still quite fun, exploring and driving around. The multiplayer experience was a bit better than the last game, but since completion of the main story I haven't touched the game |

GTA rival By: Darren Court, on January 16, 2017 Pros: Cons: "Watch Dogs 2 draws all the best bits from the first game and then improves them and takes all the bad bits out and provides an awesome sequel. The graphics are stunning. No lag or slow down whatsoever. A large map to explore. Lots of vehicles and outfits. Hundreds of collectibles and missions. The humour is hilarious and the game doesn't take itself too seriously like the first game. I would go as far as saying this is a GTA V rival. |

Lots of people compare this game with GTA5 , don't listen them , it's nothing like, only that both games has open world. it's completely different stories,and gameplay. Looking forward to play sequel . |

I'm a big videogame fan and love to collect unique merch such as figurines. This figurine is a perfect size, bigger than I expected, so I can't wait to put it on display. The box size is almost A4 paper sort of size. Material quality is very good, weighty and firm; not any cheap plastics. Loved it so much, as soon as it arrived, I decided to buy another for my dad as a birthday present. |

Excellent value, lots of gameplay options so you have freedom to find your own fun, 450hrs played and counting! By: Jamzi, on April 13, 2015 Pros: Cons: "I purchased Destiny in September when it came out. At first it seemed fun so I recommended it to my husband and brother, who also bought copies. with the addition of two playmates however Destiny went from fun to almighty fun! The game really comes into it's own and has a different dimension with you have friends you can play with however if I was playing alone I would not think the game was anything special. I was going to knock a star off for that as I think you should be able to have a very... |

Excellent game By: Alex Rowland, on March 4, 2015 Pros: Cons: "I highly recommend this game. Due to the delays and some bad reviews I was a little skeptical but having played almost all of the game I now think it is excellent. I agree that the handling of the vehicles is not very good, although oddly I kind of like it. It increases the difficulty a little and, lets face it, driving a lambo down the streets of Chicago at 100mph and trying to spin round a corner would hardly be easy to control, however it would put some people off. The bit... |

Finally ... a game! By: Anonymous, on February 27, 2015 Pros: Cons: "Simply put, this game is fun. Nowadays, many big budget games seem to feel more like interactive movies. The Order: 1886 is one clear example. This is perfectly fine, in it's own right. However, it's sometimes nice just to be able to stick a game in your console which you can have hours of aimless fun with. Dying light is one such game that is enjoyable and fun to play with a decent story line to keep you interested in the missions. You probably won't become emotionally invested in the... |

Watch Dogs is fundamentally very well made, and has more than enough unique ideas to make it great By: TL:DR Reviews, on February 5, 2015 Pros: Cons: "Watch Dogs blends cutting-edge technologies and sophisticated game design into a realistic and living open world where players must use any means at their disposal to take down a corrupt system. One-button hacking might be overly simplistic, but it does give you abilities that make playing through Aiden’s story feel powerful and fun. Doing side missions and multiplayer as you make your way through the dark and lengthy story makes it feel like a huge adventure, and stealth... |

CRASHED By: A. Griffiths "Adrian", on January 11, 2015 Pros: Cons: "Watch Dogs is basically an evolution of Grand Theft Auto as it features a huge detailed city and lots of car driving missions. I was enjoying playing the game a lot, you can use your smart phone to pretty much hack everything, and there are details everywhere, it must have taken ages to build, the city of Chicago is beautifully realised. The graphics looks very good, and driving around the city at breakneck speed doing the various challenges is very good fun. But sadly my experience was... |

Call of Duty: AW ..... Campaign is stunning but Multiplayer is more of the same! By: MrE, on December 26, 2014 Pros: Cons: "The call of duty DNA remains but this time around the multiplayer has been given more attention. Firstly the campaign, just like all call of duty games the story in this one is fantastic and full of high octane shootouts, people often go on about the multiplayer but just like its predecessors this game has a story to be proud of. Essentially the U.S. are sent into South Korea to fend off the North Koreans and besides a few poor moments and confusing sections the campaign is very... |

Average at best. By: Gez, on December 19, 2014 Pros: Cons: "I've been playing The Crew recently. Unfortunately it has to follow in the shadows of Forza Horizon 2 which IMO is a far superior game. The storyline in The Crew reminded me of the old Need for Speed titles, which is okay. Sadly the visuals are far less detailed than I expect from a 'next gen' game. The fact that I can change the colour of the stitching on the seats (yeah really!) is a bit of a gimmick to me as even when using cockpit view, you are unlikely to see details like this. Many of the... |

A bit like Grand Theft Auto but with hacking By: MB, on November 21, 2014 Pros: Cons: "Not played it long. Its alright, a bit like Grand Theft Auto but with hacking, and once you've hacked a few cell phones, atm's etc the novelty soon wears off. Not sure why Ubisoft delayed it so long, all they seem to have done is add a map to the game-pad. Which don't get me wrong is handy, but they could have added an items itinerary as well! The controls and what you are meant to do are not really explained very well at the beginning of the game, however i soon got use to them, still need to... |

Melee in Malaysia By: Kitsune Da O, on November 21, 2014 Pros: Cons: "Given the fact that Far Cry 3 is one of my favourite open-world games, the 4th instalment of this long-established gaming series was always going to be a must buy for me. Is it worth your hard-earned money though? Read on dear gamer and I will endeavour to help you decide. In terms of story, this game has no connection to the previous one. You play as Ajay Ghale, a man who was born in Kyrat, (the Malaysian province which acts as the main setting for the game,) but left with his mother... |

I started of by following the main campaign and before long found i was going off the beaten track in search of side missions and various other exciting goodies. The graphics are great and the draw distance is staggering. I find myself stopping to take in the scenery quite often and watching the... |

GTA5, Looks and plays better than ever! By: MrE, on November 18, 2014 Pros: Cons: "There were two sides to GTA 5 on the Xbox 360. On the one hand you had the single player storyline which was sensational and the other was the online multiplayer which never seemed to gain traction due to a delayed and poor start. Well, GTA 5 on Xbox One is a different kettle of fish! For those that are new and never played the game on previous generation consoles GTA 5 is mainly a 3rd person open world action adventure and shooter game, at the touch of a button however you can now... |

Mordor as it should be By: Aaron, on November 15, 2014 Pros: Cons: "Shadow of Mordor is a gritty, brutal and unique game and also a unique look at the world of Middle Earth.

Alien Isolation Review By: T. W. Marshall, on November 12, 2014 Pros: Cons: " *NO SPOILERS *I've been a fan of the 'Alien series' since I first saw 'Aliens' in the early 90's. For some strange reason the games have never really lived up to the movies, there's been the odd one here or there every 5 years or so that turned out to be a good game but for the most part games based on the Alien series suck. In fact, apart from 'Aliens: Infestation' (2011) the last good Aliens game was 2001's 'Aliens vs Predator 2' I went into this game with no... |

Don't get me wrong it's ok but definitely not a return to the good old days. What annoys me is they have ruined my favourite game mode, Infected. This time around you only ever get a shotgun and not the random gun like in previous versions. Hope... |

It clearly builds on Resident Evil 4, without straying too far away from made that great. You have perfectly reasonable control over your character, but he isn't a super human. You certainly can't run and gun your way through this like I suspect some people were hoping to. The enemies are strong in this, getting too careless even around the most basic enemies will result in your quick demise... |

As a big fan of the Grand Theft Auto open world shooter/driver games I was looking forward to this game and it was overall pretty decent. The "hacking" / counter-culture / conspiracy elements reminded me of the Deus Ex series of games a little bit. The driving controls are a... |

I am not going to lie, I haven't tried out the game yet as I still did not receive my Xbox one, however the packaging and the dedication they have put in this edition is top class. The box you see is pretty big actually (Probably as big as a console's box!) for such little content.

The city landscape dominates with not nearly enough country-side to grant the same sort of variety found in the two other games I mention.

The story is broadly interesting and there's lots to do and being open world means there's lots of different places to go. Essentially the game is about a guy that wants to take revenge against everyone that's ever screwed him over in life and the journey along that road is pretty fun going for the most part. The game is 3rd person based (so much like GTA5) where by you view the character from... |

An enjoyable sandbox with a fun hacking mechanic By: Kevin Trebell, on June 8, 2014 Pros: Cons: "Watch Dogs is a "GTA" like sandbox game set in a Chicago of the near future. In this future the entire town and it's denizens are monitored and controlled via the "CTOS" monitoring systems and you set out to both use and oppose this system. The story of the game is fairly enjoyable but a little over serious. It has a number of interesting characters and I felt compelled to see it through , though I wasn't very keen on the gravel voiced protagonist Aiden. The game is... |

Graphics look great, maxed out on my core i7 with a radeon 290 it runs pretty nice, maybe 30fps average. Dropping down to very high from ultra gives you a better experience. Compared to something like GTA5, I think it gets boring quickly. The camera hacks are always the same, and they arent exactly difficult either. The main story is dragging a bit, and the side quests are thin on the... |

A fairly poor game with few redeeming features By: Gabriel, on June 2, 2014 Pros: Cons: "You only have to look at the reviews online to see that Watch Dogs has been pretty poorly received and there are good reasons for this - thankfully this was a free copy wth a video card, otherwise I would have been pretty unhappy that I'd not done more research. As PC games go its poor - mainly because it tries to do way too much and none of it well. Is it a hacking game? A conspiracy game? A stealth game? Worse, a driving game? Who knows - all of them but at a really, really superficial level... |

Chicago: home of things to do... By: Leonie McGregor, on May 30, 2014 Pros: Cons: "In short, Watch_Dogs is a 3rd person open world game set in a near-future Chicago where the whole city is dependant on one system (CtOS) controlling everything from suspension bridges to security cameras. Unfortunately, this allows the protagonist (Aiden Pearce) to hack in to the system and 'bend it' to his will. In this sense the game is unique. The storyline: (no spoilers) Aiden, along with so many video game 'heroes' these days, is on a quest for vengeance. After his... |

Taking all comparisons away- its a GOTY contender with franchise potential By: Jack Gibbons, on May 29, 2014 Pros: Cons: "Firstly, I think a lot of people who are giving the game 3 or 4 stars are being a tad overzealous at a game we've all had to wait a lot longer for than we first anticipated. Hype is never a good thing as it sets bars too high but I honestly think they're unfair to Watch Dogs. Granted the game does have it's flaws: the driving is comparable to older Need for Speed games with unrealistic damage and collision physics. It's a major problem as escaping the police, gangs or online hackers is focused... |

FIRST IMPRESSIONS REVIEW By: WayT, on May 29, 2014 Pros: Cons: "My Rig: Matches or beats all of the recommended specifications. Windows 8.1-64bit, i7-4770@3.9ghz, 16GB@1600mhz RAM, Gigabyte OC GTX780, Z87 Motherboard It took 4 hours to download and install! TitanFall, a 50GB game, took less than one hour to do! I didn't have any problems with Uplay though, probably because everyone else had given up. Let's get something very clear: When Ubisoft originally delayed this game in November 2013, claiming that it needed more work... |

Unoptimised dog of a game. By: Nimph, on May 28, 2014 Pros: Cons: "The game has potential, it is clearly just a rehash and blend of Assassins Creed and Grand Theft Auto (without the character and humour). The optimisation on PC however is garbage. I have a powerful machine with a 4930K Extreme Edition processor overclocked to 4.5Ghz across 6 cores, a Rampage IV Black, 2x GTX780ti overclocked, 16GB 2133mhz Ram, and an SSD and this thing chugs along at my resolution of 5760x1080. Sure that's a high res but Crysis 3 doesn't have an issue with running... |

Bloody awesome with slight teething issues By: Stephen Febers "Doctor Tech", on May 28, 2014 Pros: Cons: "I have an Acer Predator intel i7 4770, 16gb ram, gtx770 2mb, 128gb ssd. Everything is all set to ultra apart textures which is on high setting, the driving takes some practice, the sideline mission to drop off a car to its location is hard, the crashes in the streets and peoples reaction is excellent. The graphics during the day with the sun shining in your eyes is excellent, the reflection of the rain on the wet roads at night is awesome, the day transforms into night... |

I ENJOY PLAYING WATCH DOGS, THE STORY IS FUN AND GRAPHICS ARE GOOD. BUT DID EXPECT A LITTLE BIT MORE! By: J, on May 28, 2014 Pros: Cons: "There has been so much hype over Watch Dogs in the last year, whitch has got people thinking the game will be revolutionary, to be honest it is excellent but it doesn't blow your mind. I really enjoy playing Watch Dogs and here are my pros and cons- PROS: Story is good and gets you hooked / the characters in the game are interesting / graphics are good / completion time is long / online features good and us of app on smartphones. CONS- Some side missions are boring and repetitive /... |

Worth every penny By: Rohan Melling, on May 28, 2014 Pros: Cons: "I purchased the DedSec edition and it arrived at 9:30am. It is now 3:40am (roughly) and I've only just gotten off the game. First of all, the stuff that comes with the DedSec edition is quality stuff. The statue is both spectacularly detailed and feels nice, the map didn't tear like most maps I get with most games. The steel box is nice and the art book is definitely nice to look at. The game itself is definitely worth purchasing. It's fun, involving and addictive. Once... |

Review for the DedSec edition, and now the game. By: JBV "JBV^_^", on May 28, 2014 Pros: Cons: "Haven't played the game too much, primarily because of the Uplay server problems. The DedSec box is huge. It's larger than the box the Wii-U came in, The Figure is really good, with plenty of fine detail, and the hardback art book is bigger than I expected. The AR cards are fun, the soundtrack CD is good and the badges are also fun to have. The Steelbook cases' illustration is better than the normal one - well I prefer the style of it anyway,... |

A decent game, no "must have" By: rohleder, on May 27, 2014 Pros: Cons: "This game was obviously overhyped around E3 2013, i remember seeing the presentation and animations with my jaw below my waist thinking it was going to blow me away, then it was delayed, then the newest trailers came out, and truth be told, i was correct after purchasing this title, it all somehow was SEVERELY downgraded. Visually, the game is not as impressive as its predecessor from earlier show casings, you get these horrible polygonal trees scattered around lazily across the... |

Not what I expected... good nonetheless By: Chusko, on May 27, 2014 Pros: Cons: "Being a bit dissapointed after my last purchase (Wolfenstein) decided to pick up up the game today. After playing for some hours already, I disagree with those that say it doesn't look good. While I agree that the daytime lighting seems off the game shines when the night comes and especially when it comes to special effects (like rain, water, puddles of water...). In terms of game mechanics is where things start to go north of what ubisoft promised, at least to me. First... |

Ignore the bad reviews! By: Bradley Beamer, on May 27, 2014 Pros: Cons: "I'll start by saying this game truly is a pleasure to play. A lot of people were worried about the apparent downgrade in graphics for the game since the E3 reveal, and the delay last year. I can't comment on the graphics for xbox 360 but on xbox one they are gorgeous! Yes, I'm sure PC graphics are better but i don't want a PC, i have an xbox, and the graphics are excellent on console. The hacking mechanic in the game is a breath of fresh air. Too often nowadays are the... |

A game worth buying, Good job Ubisoft By: Muhammed Kasim, on May 27, 2014 Pros: Cons: "Honestly, i played this game for about 5-6 hours now and i have got to say i am impressed, the map is GIGANTIC and the gameplay is very entertaining once you get the hang of it. The game is a masterpiece, but one thing ps3 players shouldnt expect is crystal clear graphics because the ps3 has its limitations, it aint all that bad though, the graphics on a whole are very good, if you are a player that looks for graphics then you should go buy a ps4. Honestly i played for quite a long time and havnt... |

Delivered more than i expected By: 555 "555", on May 27, 2014 Pros: Cons: "Updated 30/5/2014: down to 4/5 stars ------------------------------------ Unfortunately i had to take one star off now as i get the same annoying mission as many other players: Mission - log in to Uplay (you really need to be a good hacker to do that i guess). The servers of Ubisoft were not prepared for this at all, most of the time i am playing offline so i am loosing many features of the game that require the game to be online like the PvP (player v player) challenges be... |

Very Good So Far By: H.

Great game - lack of content "out of the box" is a real concern! By: Kinetic, on April 14, 2014 Pros: Cons: "I've owned every Forza, I think the series has improved steadily (with the exception of Forza Horizon, which should be considered a totally different title and one to be judged on its own merits). This is no exception, the graphics are stunning (NOT life like, as many have claimed, but good enough to make you sit back and admire them), the cars' handle has been improved, the online features are great and the new features, which have been well implemented (especially for those who prefer to beat... |
