Well now, let me tell ya about this Watch Dogs 2 game, it’s somethin’ else! They got this music playin’ all the time, and it sure gets ya feelin’ like you’re in the middle of somethin’ big. If you’re like me, you don’t understand all that fancy hacker talk, but I’ll try to make sense of it for ya. The first mission, it starts off with this young feller named Marcus, he’s the main character now. He plays his little hacker tunes, and then he sneaks around like he knows what he’s doin’.
So, the first thing that happens is Marcus, he goes up to these three guards, and he does his thing—like some kind of wizard with a keyboard. The guards don’t even see him comin’! But that music, oh, it’s somethin’. You know the song that’s playin’ during that part? It’s called “Eye For An Eye (Reprise)” by Hudson Mohawke. It’s a good tune, makes ya feel like you’re on a mission too, even if you’re just sittin’ in your chair with a bag of chips.
Now, about the soundtrack in the game, well, it’s more than just background noise. It’s like the heart and soul of the whole thing. There’s all kinds of music, from hip-hop to electronic beats, all comin’ together to make you feel like you’re part of somethin’ real big. And I tell ya, the soundtrack’s got a way of gettin’ in your head. I don’t know much about this kind of stuff, but you can’t ignore it once you start hearin’ it. You won’t be able to get some of these songs out of your head. They stick with ya.
One of them songs you’ll hear is called “Burning Desire” by Hudson Mohawke too. I don’t know much about music, but even I could tell this one’s got a beat that makes ya wanna get up and move. The rhythm gets ya all worked up, and before you know it, you’re right there with Marcus, doin’ the hackin’ with him, even though you ain’t doin’ nothin’ but sittin’ on your couch.
As for the side missions, there’s a few you’ll come across. There’s one early on, called “Paint Job,” where Marcus meets up with a gal named Sitara on top of a building near Pier 39. Now, when you first get there, you might notice somethin’ strange. There ain’t no easy way to get up on that roof. You gotta figure it out, and that’s part of the fun of the game. The whole thing’s about hackin’ and figure things out that don’t seem to make sense at first. It’s a puzzle, but once you get it, you feel like you’re smarter than a fox in a hen house.
Now, this mission, it’s not too hard, but it’s one of them little challenges that keeps ya goin’. And once you finish it, ya feel like you’ve done somethin’ worthwhile. You can’t just skip over these side missions. They add a lot to the game, and trust me, you’ll wanna hear all them tunes playin’ in the background. It adds a layer of fun that’s hard to beat.
But let’s talk about the story, ‘cause I know some of ya might be wonderin’ how it ties in with the first Watch Dogs. Well, don’t you worry, it don’t really pick up where the first one left off. This time, you got a new fella in charge, new city, new folks to deal with. The first one had a fella named Aiden Pearce, and he was serious as a heart attack. But Marcus, well, he’s a little more laid back. He’s all about his music, his hacks, and makin’ sure the world knows just what’s goin’ on in the city.
And I reckon that’s what makes this game so good. It ain’t just about the missions, it’s about the vibe, the music, and how it all comes together to make you feel like you’re right there in the action. Whether you’re takin’ out guards or just messin’ around with gadgets, the soundtrack’s always there to set the mood.
So, if you’re thinkin’ about givin’ Watch Dogs 2 a try, don’t go in expectin’ too much from the story of the first one. It’s a whole new ballgame now. But the music, that’s somethin’ ya won’t forget. It’s catchy, it’s got a beat, and it’ll keep you comin’ back for more. So, get ready to hack away, groove to the tunes, and maybe even figure out a few puzzles along the way. You won’t regret it!
