For a game that was shown in 2011 as groundbreaking in terms of visuals... the game really lacks any "wow factor" visuals. Yes, yes i know they downgraded the game so the next gen systems could support it but really ubisoft that dosent mean you downgrade a perfectly good pc version. Also. ♥♥♥♥ you Uplay.

Anyway ill split my review up into sections to make it look more like a IGN review or some ♥♥♥♥.

Visuals [6/10] - For a game that could of easily looked so much better i am dissapointed. But! It does look amazing. I mean for a current/old gen game sense. The textures quality is what we are looking for, for once. 1080 resoluted textures for like the first time which bring this game to a whole new level. The atmosphere brought by the visuals is stunning to, yuou do actually feel like you are in the city. But. As they have gone down the road of realism the scenery is dull and grey because we are all dull and grey and boring and ♥♥♥♥.

Story [No Major Spoilers] [9.5/10] - You are a hacker. Hacking an enitre city with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ phone. Erm im sorry? Isnt that amazing enough. I cant really say any more than that as it would be spolier but count on me its just so amazing. They put so much time and effort into making the characters in depth. You feel the emotional connection between them.

Driving [5/10] - For a game focused on realism it really does a poor job on its driving. Its arcade style and dosent really fit into this type of game, dont get me wrong its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fun to drive but dosent suite the game at all. But if your looking for that acradly feel of a car then this game is perfect for that. At the end of the day its down to personal opinion.

Shooting [8.5/10] - Its realistic. Can be a bit stiff sometimes but it is fun to shoot people, you get that satisfaction from it, you do feel like the bullets are killing them.

Hacking [10/10] - Now this is fun. You can hack people, you can read their texts, tap their phone calls, steal their money. You can see how much income they earn a year and any criminal records they have. You can see their interests and hobbies and see what type of porn they watch. On top of that you can hack the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ city. Traffic lights, bollards, spikes, steam pipes. you name it its hackable. One of the most fun things to do at night is to cause a major blackout. Everyone panicks. Noone can see you and you can cause mayhem without it affecting you.

Overall Rating [9.2/10] - Truthfully. This game needs some improvments like visually performance wise but thats really about it. The storys perfect, the shootings perfect. The driving is very polished but not to my style. Its overall a very, very good game. It was worth the wait.

P.S: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Uplay
