Between joy and disappointment!

Groß'hat Ubisoft announced the game. It should be the biggest game of its kind, massive vehicles and opportunities. I've been playing since release and have played through the story. Overall, I'm 39% advance at approx.

STORY:
Here you do not expect any spoilers. Suffice it to say, 'She is exciting in itself and well thought out. Partially very subtle, but adapts well to the stereotype of the hacker. Nevertheless, it is bland in many places. Although it is not always predictable, but not really surprising. The missions are similar too, the issue of hacking was drawn here to consistently. Usually the story consists of a place to "infiltrate" hack to kill all or flee and that was,. Each story has this basic type, making it monotonous. From the story here, but it is quite good!

GAMEPLAY:
Here there are some sub-items:
The Cars:
Awful! Unlike these catastrophic control can not explain itself. You drive through the curve, is sure to get at first and it suddenly slipped out of the car. I play both Forza and GT and knows that one can not compare, but an approach to simulation controller would prefer, so I was very excited about the control of GTA4, again disappointed me GTA5. Watchdogs is here clearly in the direction of GTA5 and annoying with arcade racing elements. To me this makes no sense, because one tries realistically reflect the environment, but the cars drive like in Mario Kart. Furthermore, the car slipping in accidents partially like billiard balls through the area, also acts sometimes ridiculous.
Control of the protagonist:
The doing well after a while out of hand. I think it's good that we have such a good choice especially in the arms, well implemented with the steering wheel, that is. The control over is very well implemented. Criticism is that Aiden is tied rather to the ground. Jumping? Wrong! At appropriate places, he climbs, but he can not jump.
Interactions with NPC:
Go also well out of hand. You get timely evidence of hacks. What I dislike is the deactivation of the helicopter. Is all well and good, but I'm sitting in the car, I can not do this because he usually does not float visible above me. Likewise, if I am in coverage, I can not turn off the helicopter.

KI:
Double-edged! The AI ​​is in fighting often very strong. The opponents are divided into different groups: Protect, veterans and elite sniper. The first two groups acted very intelligently and respond quite well to the protagonists. Elite fighters overestimate apparently liked and simply run on too. Snipers are holding up snipers. Hide and wait until the head lifts. Can thus be so easily fooled.
The police, however is too rough! First it sucks again, they partially wealthier nearly 500PS more than me. I drive a sports car, then still like sweeps times a SUV past me. They also rammed through and act very undecided. From stage 1 to 5 I notice little difference! We also see no police time on patrol! They are only there when they are summoned. Police stations I have not seen so far!
In total the police bugging so pretty, what I find a shame.

SCOPE:
Yes, the advertised scope! What Ubisoft has promised! Now you can directly compare with GTA5 and as watchdogs draws quite the short straw. Watchdogs is always the same. Hacking! GTA5 offers a wider range. Even watchdogs pulls the concept by not consistently. The smartphone shows me yes a lot, but I can not make calls. The competitor allows calls to numbers that are on posters, so the world lebendig.Und worked so it goes with many things. Chill drive around only a handful of different cars. If one were to include, as you have probably only 25 to 30 different types. This is too little! And Ubisoft has tumbled so.
The side quests are extensive and offer chess, drinking games, slot machines, Shell games and Fixer jobs. The already comes very close to the competitors. But it is precisely the little things and in detail, GTA has a million times more circumference. Also, because the card at Watchdogs only reached a fraction.

GRAPHICS:
The graph has been much disputed. My first impression was good. I had no high expectations, so I was not disappointed. On images of fairs I admit nothing, so that one has always been deceived. The world of watchdogs is very detailed. Especially the protagonists look very good. I like the light and shadows on the face and also the clothing looks very good. This works best in dim light. The environment graphics are okay. The city looks a bit drab and gray, but this adds to the mood of the game. From time to time you can discover beautiful play of light between trees and is very good at sunrises but. The vehicles are designed a bit naff, but what may be due to lack of licenses.

SOUND:
The sound is quite good. In some places, but I have heard a certain loudness effect. Otherwise, all this spread nicely on the speakers and the music in the game, even if radio stations are missing. The voices are known in some cases and the synchronization is very good. Here I have little to complain about! Only the vehicle sounds are sometimes a bit odd.

CONCLUSION:
The game is refreshingly new part. But it has many quirks and flaws. Especially against the GTA series the game should shoot, but will not serve up their experience and scope. If that matter is, the here can expect a solid game with an interesting story and new ideas! Because of the shortcomings I say 3.5 stars and round on this, because it breathes new life into the open-world genre!
