Watch Dogs 2: 10 Massive Improvements Over The First Game

5. A More Colourful Town

Read this one on every level. San Fransisco isn't just beautifully rendered, it's also accurately represented as the bustling hive of colourful communities it is in the real world. It's a gorgeously realised hub of minorities, LGBT clubs, hipster coffee shops, new-wave Silicon Valley offices, and criminal hideouts.

Speeding over an illuminated Golden Gate Bridge while NOFX blasts out of your sports car is an utter joy, and there is no shortage of interesting nooks and crannies to delve into, be they in the very heart of San Fran, or lurking in the outskirts.

This marks a huge improvement over dull Chicago, which, on reflection, was one of the most drab locations ever rendered in a video game. They could have set the sequel in Wolverhampton, and it'd probably have appeared more vibrant and dynamic.

Sorry Chicago (and Wolverhampton), I'm sure you're lovely in real life.
