Summary

GTA returns better than ever

The Good

The gameplay: The gameplay is very similar to the other GTA series, but also show differences. For example, Rockstar introduced a brand new fighting system. And your character now carries a phone, to contact people for missions, going out and more.

The graphics: Rockstar created a new game engine named Euphoria, which improved the graphics very much. As the game is very dark, you can even set the brightness/saturation settings.

The Bad

The sound: The music really disappointed me. It sounds like most of it is rap, and there are even Russian radio stations. I did rather prefer the music of the GTA 3 radio stations. Which still has some variation.

Brands: I expected that real brands finally got introduced in the game. But no, the famous cars from GTA 3 and Vice city and San Andreas are back.

The Bottom Line

It's an amazing game, that almost needs no description. It's very addicting and quick to learn.
