A huge improvement over the last games.

Wow.You know this game just looked like it was going to be really good from the intitail pics put out for it and what do you know,it was not only good,..it was awsome!.I liked the old GTA games but I found that the top down view didn;t help the game in anyway,.and in fact it made driving extremly difficult because you couldn't see but like 2 car spaces ahead of you and this often made presice high speed driving impossible because you could see cars in the distance or upcoming turns.The great thing about the GTA ganes was they are very open allowing you to do pretty much how you want.The game does of course feature a main story and many side mission to be found too that are much better than the old games too.Driving the game is blast and the physics are like near perfect to what you would expect.And there are tons of cars to drive too though none are real,.but who cares.They resemble real ones and they have really cool damage modeling to boot.the raid stations that you can listen to add tons to the gme too features real music from the era and the dj's are entertaining too.I put like a gaaillion hour into this game and though I never got 100% complete this is one of those game that I did play well after I had beaten the main game.that was omething rare to me when console games are concerned because they often don;t provide much incentive to actully want to play the game again after you finished them.
I highly reccomend this game though.It is alot of fun.It is really copied these days but I don;t think any yet have really put up much of challenge to the GTA series.
