Summary
The best Grand Theft Auto-ISH game.
The Good
First off as most of you know since the release of Grand Theft Auto: III there have been many games trying to copy the formula (The Getaway, True Crime, Simpsons Hit and run, Mafia) Most of them have been good but by far this is the best take on the formula. First off the graphics are excellent especially in the cutscenes. The voice acting is great because instead of using crappy voice actors from off the streets they actually get some great celebrities to do it. They cities are bigger and more beautiful than in the other Gta-ISH games or Gta itself.
The Bad
Though the graphics are great when seen upclose they seem choppy and unfinished. Although there is a wide selection of cars there are only two types of motorcycles. The "sports bike" type motorcycle has the most annoying sound ever. The controls in the car take lots of time to get used too, and if you hit another car your character actually takes damage. That is realistic but is a big drag. Too many missions are timed. And the first few missions are waaay to hard. If your a newbie to the game dont give up right from the start but be warned the second missions where you have to chase some guy is very, very hard.
The Bottom Line
An excellent game but has many flaws. Its a mixed game so I recommend you rent it before buying it. Despite all this it is still the best Grand Theft Auto-ISH game.
