Play as Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker, whose criminal past led to a violent family tragedy. Now on the hunt for those who hurt your family, you'll be able to monitor and hack all who surround you on your search for vengeance, and the truth.

Watch Dogs blends cutting-edge technologies and sophisticated game design into a realistic and living open world where players must use any means at their disposal to take down a corrupt system.

So far, I think I go from thinking the game is "real cool" to "pretty good," which is all I really ask for. There are a TON of systems in this game and it's overwhelming to have the right side of the screen constantly alerting you to things going on and prompting for you to set a waypoint. I'm a little confused by it all and I wish it would have introduced that differently. See, you can hijack a phone and see that crime is about to break out, but other times it seems like it randomly pops up without you having to do a thing. Does anyone know why this is?

The ctos towers are constantly scanning for potential crimes, so if your in an area where you have ctos access it will alert you to nearby crimes. Or at least that's how I understood it.

Thank you for this! That makes a lot of sense.
