A fully hacked Chicago, where your smartphone becomes the most dangerous weapon in town.

No gut pick here, so we read the detail, and it's doing the splits. Fun explodes at the top, ahead of 94% of games, the title's signature. Controller feel follows, ahead of 71% of others, to be confirmed on a single vote, and art direction holds above average. But right beside it, attachment collapses into the lower ranking, ahead of barely 14% of titles, and the soundtrack drops below average too. There's the tension: a game that entertains and grips with a pad in hand, yet one you grow fairly little attached to once the session ends.

Very coherent for an Ubisoft open world of that generation, generous with activities and immediate thrills, less memorable on the lasting bond you form with its hero or its mood.

So who is it for? For you if you love hacking the city, chaining missions and sessions that slip away until 3am. Much less so if you want a protagonist and an atmosphere that cling to you long after the credits.
