A great game, but with little quirks ... unfortunately ...

The story is easy to explain. Aiden Pearce is hacker and therefore concludes difficult, but profit bringer of hacks. However, there is an over from Aiden and a mysterious stranger is a killer for him. When he tries to kill him dies Aiden's niece here. Aiden swears revenge to practice and now chases the person who robbed him of his niece and tried to out of the way.

- The story is> Basically quite interesting, but on the other hand, a full-lutschter hat. However, it does not come on the backbone, but about the stories in the history of which should, however, learn to take this opportunity to know each self. (You do not want spoilers yes! ;-))

Characters and synchronization.:

The role-playing characters per se have been created very good and very profound and offer the player a realistic action thriller movie. However, it fails a little at the main character of Aiden Pearce himself. He is on one side of an ass with heart, but with the one and the same facial expressions and emotional state. Neither in his rage nor for other emotional points Aiden really a flexible character. In my opinion, Aiden is a bit too shallow and have been to just formed. You get next to all the characters feel that Aiden is not human.
The Synchro, however, is up to the odd exception (Old man with voice of a teenager) really well. Aiden himself think I get the wrong voice, but that's a matter of taste. -D

Graphics:

Next-Gen is not next-gen! And that we should indeed have slowly figured all times. However WATCH DOGS supplies despite small downgrades (the Ubisoft still denies) a real nice game off, but rather that varies between next-gen and the usual Ubisoft crease and Knattergrafik.
Declaration on ,, crease Knattergrafik "Ubisoft is known to produce games where the graphics are not really always runs smoothly so we have at Assassins Creed (Part 1 to 4) receive a game in which the shadows flickered and the contours very. were inaccurate. Also it happened again and again that small interference lines were to catch on the screen that does not really suit me personally in a game.

Gameplay:

The gameplay is excellent succeeded except for a small exception. But first times for the better! -D
The cover system and fighting per se, and the shootings are done well and run smoothly from. Hacking, which somewhere is also the central theme even runs better than I thought for the time being and gives the player a true open-world feeling, because really almost everything is be hacked. Also, each person has to react on the road has its own personality and kind on the environment. So, it happens from time to time that it comes to a car crash and the drivers about the accident and the type entertain to pay the damage (The player himself has not helped!).
Now for the negatives!
The only negative in the game when it comes to the gameplay, is the handling of the cars and carriages. This can be especially in curves very difficult to control and may result in a slight collision with gangsters or the like to Kontrolllosigkeit the wagon / vehicle. This can lead to frustration small moments again and again, if you, for example because of an geschafften curve the gangster, the one pursued loses.

Online:

In between there may be a hack attack another player with an active online mode. Then you have to find yourself this and turn it off before the download is complete. The whole thing is of course still the other way around. Furthermore, there are other online modes that should but testing each self.

CONCLUSION:

The game is very well done, but loses points through a story that is not new on the one hand and on the other simply does not come into drive. While offering the story kind of variety and different branches. This does not, however, bring the story to a branch that captivates the player and packs. Well done, but a few more pep in the story would really can not hurt.
Also, the control system for the vehicle is a point which one VLT. in a sequel (which I do not consider to the copies 8 million sold unlikely -D) could mend.
But on the whole the game is nevertheless enough for me for 4 out of 5 stars!
Buy recommendation for any Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell and GTA fan!

PS: No! It is not to say that this is to be a GTA clone, even though I personally have the feeling that the developers have possibly something based on GTA here and there in order to create their own open-world game can.
