Played it for 2 hours only did 3 story missions.
Game is great ,driving could be better but its really not that bad.
There are ass load of side missions some grant you skills ,cars and weapons.
There are plenty of skills within the 4 categories:hacking,crafting,combat and driving.
Some areas need to be unlocked by hacking ctos towers kinda like in fc3 for you to be able to hack the civilians and the cameras in the area.
During the 1st unlock which is a story mission I had to enter a restricted area which had like 6 armed guards.
The way I tooked them out was damn amazing I hacked into a camera checked the guy with the access code.You can trigger their granades by hacking them which makes them scared and they try to get rid of it.The guy threw the granade right next to a car making a huge explosion taking out 4 of them then used a forklift to distract the other to sneak behind them and bullet time supressor pistol their asses.
On 360 it's a bit worse then gta 5 graphic wise.
They say however the next gen is superb.
For the details this is above gta 5.
There are lot of ares that require searching for using the environment and cameras to unlock secrets ,investigate unlock towers or to follow potentional crime commiters.
Tbh Gta city looked good but it was damn shallow comparedtő this hence besides entering shops you couldnt really do much more.
Here every street has accasable cameras ,trafic lights,blockers environment also the train network is done pretty well.
You can also bullet time drive here however not as good as in gta 5.
Damn this game is so awesome.
I only did like 5 story missions im running around fighting crime taking down gangs at their hideouts.Doing criminal convoy missions,investigations unlocking ctos towers.
Great thing is that each type of sidemission rewards you with weapons ,vehicles or skills after doing a certain amount.
Dont know when was the last time I had this much fun with a game.
In a convoy mission I was waiting for the target behind the pillar with a granade launcher took the cár out and before reinforcments arrived I just went up the stairs stopped a train with the hacking device hopped on and left.
These are minor and usual stuff in the game but it's some damn amazing.
haermm
I love that you can basically take out like 5-6 guys in gang hideouts without even having to enter the territory just hacking from camera to camera making their granades and the environment explode.
Cover system is great it reminds me of Splinter cell blacklist going from cover to cover just by pressing A is sweet.
Stealth system is pretty well done as well.
I love stealth games and its nice to see WD doing it right.
Cool thing is that you can access all skills after completing like the
Spoiler:
5th story mission.
Ign gives it a 8.4

Definetly.
Hacking is fun and easy tons of stuff to hack it's useful in every situation.When taking on enemy you can take out like 4-5 guys by simply hacking the right things in the area(explosive terminals,granades)raise platforms to use them as cover,use lifts or fork lifts to reach high ground (its useful in combat and when exploring)Its useful in car chases as well raising blockers,bridges ,making underground steam pipes explode to take out enemy cars.
Use garage doors in the city to escape the police or look for a nearby train stop it via hacking hop on and leave.
skills:
Crafting(you can craft hand granades,a gdget that locates every enemy in the area kinda like a uav,proximity bombs,blackouts(allows you to shut down electricity in the city),call interferer(if anyone wants to call the police or reinforcements),pills that recharge your focus(bullet time) faster..etc)
Hacking:activation of road blockers,road spikes,stoping train (extremly useful when you want to escape on foot),taking out helicopter lights,hacking peoples accounts,(upgrading helps you hack more money ,high lights people who have more money or connected to events,have access to new cars),transformer overloading causes blackout,disabling peoples ability to call upon reinforcments
Combat:weapon handling,focus(bullet time),durability against guns,explosions etc
driving:car takes less damage,can do more damage against enemies car etc...
Combat and stealth is well done cover system is great you can go from cover to cover just by pressing A even if its in a distance.
Unfortunetly there is no weapon costum.
Has loads of side quest:
Criminal convoy (you are giving the root of the convoy you have to take it out.)
Gang hideout:take out a groop of baddies.
Investigations:its pretty much finding a dead body ,scan it listen to the audio log.
Crime interfere:go to location prevent the random crime.
Weapons cargos:Gain access to garages having cargo in them.
I havent tried all of them.
Fun activities:
drinking games,chess,becoming a giant spider killing people,carmageddon style mini game,
Havent even tried half of them.
Game can keep you busy for about 35-40+ hours even offline.
I give it a 9.5 so far though i barely did any story missions the side missions and tower freeing sucked me up...😛

Be aware graphics are not that great on last gen and driving can be clunky at times but the overwhelming awesomeness will make you forgive the prior 2.
Wait and see 😈
