It is similar, I think, very GTA, which in itself would not be bad, yes. What is, however, particularly struck me: unlike GTA where slowly builds and develops everything will be at Watchdogs (as regular gamblers) at the beginning of the game formally charming flooded. All over the map has been around for entry side missions, places, stores, etc. to hack something that you have to make an effort not to lose the thread of the story or this at all to find first ...
There are also very many side missions - which would have basically not bad. Unfortunately, these side missions run all (quite) the same starting - so I already after an hour had personally tired, this "work".
Hacking, main component of the game is nicely done (especially as you get glimpses into the private lives of passers-o. Ä.), But the control is m. E., as it happened to me already often in pursuit of a criminal confusing, I have chopped me involuntarily in a camera to explode rather than something that has again taken me a success. Frustration moment guaranteed.
What I was also quite taken aback was the "bad" graphic .... sorry but there has my PS3 had better spit ....
All in all, I can personally not enthusiastic about the game.
