The protagonist, Aiden Pearce, lives in Chicago, a city watched over by the city computer ctOS (Central Operating System). It is linked to profiles and accounts of people, traffic lights, subways, electricity and CCTV cameras. However, the private companies running the system trade all gathered data about citizens. To beat them, you will need to adopt their own methods, invade privacy, violate laws, and commit other crimes like hacking or property damage.
The detailed city provides a wide range of gaming options and plenty of entertainment. With a unique connection to an iPad app, you can track what's going on in the game in real time. You can also use it as a map when playing the game.
Sure, you can try to shoot your way through the city, but you'll probably encounter a dead end soon. You will be better off using a special phone, which is a vital element of the game and can help you come out on top in every situation. Why not use it to stop public transport and cause chaos, or to set off a fake robbery alarm in a bank to provoke a huge police response? This game lets you play any way you want.
Dynamically changing weather, over 3000 basic character types, and endless possibilities of each variation of stories and objects. Watch Dogs has created a truly revolutionary system of living people. Unlike other games, where people just wander around and are randomly generated, people in Watch Dogs have real stories and everything feels alive.
