Well now, if ya ever got yer hands on that Watch Dogs 2 game, ya might’ve noticed that the music in it ain’t like the usual stuff. It’s a whole mix of pop, hip hop, and electronic beats. You see, Ubisoft didn’t just throw some random tunes in there—they got folks like Hudson Mohawke to put it all together. And, lemme tell ya, it don’t sound like anything you’d expect. It’s all got that futuristic, science fiction vibe. You could almost imagine it bein’ played over some big ol’ robot fight or a crazy chase through a neon-lit city.
Now, if ya don’t know who Hudson Mohawke is, don’t worry, not everybody does. He’s a producer, and he’s worked on music for all kinds of stuff, but in Watch Dogs 2, he gave the game’s soundtrack a real punch. It’s like mixin’ the fast beats of electronic music with the smoother sounds of hip hop. And I gotta say, it fits the game like a glove—makes you feel like you’re in some kind of cool, high-tech world.
But wait, it gets even better! Ubisoft also teamed up with Dutch music producer Oliver Heldens for the track “Good Life.” Now, this song has a real poppy, feel-good vibe to it, but it’s got a twist—kinda like the game itself. It’s like they’re tellin’ you, “Yeah, life can be good, but also, we’re all livin’ in a world where technology’s always watchin’ us.” It’s all about balance—pop music for the fun side of things and electronic beats for when things get a little wild and crazy.
Now, as for the game itself, it ain’t like the first Watch Dogs, no sir. In Watch Dogs 2, you got a whole new fella to play as—Marcus Holloway. He’s a young hacker, full of energy, and not afraid to take on the big corporations that be runnin’ the show. The story’s set in San Francisco, a place with all them tall buildings and high-tech gadgets everywhere. But even though it’s a new story, you’ll still see a few familiar faces from the first game. T-Bone’s back, though not much else ties the two games together.
And, let me tell ya, this game’s all about the soundtrack. You can find it playin’ on KBY-FM in the game, a radio station that’s got some of the best pop tunes and electronic hits. You might even find yerself tappin’ your foot or hummin’ along to some of them tracks while you’re out runnin’ around the city, hackin’ stuff and causin’ a little bit of trouble.
But, if ya think the music’s all fun and games, think again. It really sets the tone for the whole experience. As you play through, you’ll start to notice that some of the tracks match up with what’s goin’ on in the game—when things are calm, you got some chill beats, and when you’re in the middle of a chase or hackin’ into something big, the music picks up pace, gettin’ all intense. It’s like they’re tryin’ to make sure you feel every bit of what’s goin’ on. A lot of games just put any old song in the background, but Watch Dogs 2 really thought it through.
But hey, don’t take my word for it. If ya ever play the game, just turn on that radio and listen to the tunes. The soundtrack’s a big part of what makes this game so special. It ain’t just about hackin’ and causin’ trouble—it’s about the world you’re in and how the music makes ya feel like you’re really a part of it all. Plus, it’s got some catchy tunes that’ll stick with ya long after you’re done playin’. Ain’t that the mark of a good soundtrack?
So, next time you’re cruisin’ through San Francisco in Watch Dogs 2, turn up the radio and let that pop music take you for a ride. It’s one of those things that makes the whole game feel alive and keep you comin’ back for more. Ya never know, you might even find a new favorite track or two while you’re at it!
