For £5, you're getting so much game here. I'd encourage anyone who goes for it to get through chapter two of the single player, there's a mission called "Open your world" and that's when your game opens up to other people hacking in, and your ability to hack others.
The problems this game suffered from were over hype, and a pretty mediocre story (single player). There was just far too much expectation put on this game early on. They put this game out there in 2012 saying it was going to define the next-gen, unfortunately the game had to be downgraded because they overestimated the power available (they didn't have the dev kits for PS4 and XB1 back then).
The story is all right, don't get me wrong, but it's no Deus Ex. It's just your average hard ass out for revenge.
I feel like most of the nay-sayers played the single player then traded in the game. The multi-player invasion is so much fun. I played hundreds of hours of it online. You invade someone's single player game and hack them, then it's all down to a game of hide and seek with wits and map knowledge paying off big time sometimes.
It gets very tense when you're at the smallest circle possible, trying to hide from your target.
The whole city is a playground for this, there are no pre-defined areas, it starts wherever the hacker starts the attack, and marks a circle on your map.
Likewise at any point you're playing you might suddenly get a message saying "Your data is being stolen." Boom, someone is in your game, find them quick!
That's just the 1v1, there's plenty of people who have loads of fun in the Decryption game which can be a free-for-all or team based game where you have to hold onto a file while it unlocks, but other players will kill you to get it.
And there are also races which are fun enough, although I don't think the driving mechanics in this game are particularly skilful or compelling. They do the job for an open world, but something like GTA 4 or 5 has more fun driving.

Your name says everything about in one. Basically don't listen to you cause a moany sod.
Games fine, works lovely and plays well and is fun, just don't expect GTA or saints row and youll be fine. It was never anything special but its not bad and has ample gameplay and if you dont stray from the story to much (you will find you forget what your doing f you leave it a bit between plays) you'll have some fun.
Although, if you dont have this or have played it at least,by now its probably not up your street...

Worth mentioning the Game special edition version (Xbox one and PS4) are also £5.00.

I posted the same game with same condition for £6.99 from Graingergames a month ago and it gone up to 300 heat. This even beats my deal, so cannot be cold. HEAT OP.

I really didn't like this game at all, but £5 is worth the punt. You might love it!

This is a good game, not as good as we were led to believe when it first came out but definitely worth at least a tenner so this price is a steal.

Paid £8 for this a few months ago. Not worth the money. Completed it, platted it and sold for £5.
Might just be worth a fiver if you're stuck. Better games out there.

I love this game so much. I made 70+ videos of the 1v1 multiplayer hacking game.
