my first was not good, but then i gave it a chance, and I was blown away.
On the downside, from san andreas there are features missing, like you cant work out in the gym, you can't take over terrritories, you cant ride with yur gang and wreak havoc and you can't really personalize much about yourself haircuts etc wifebeaters. No spraypainting and tagging and stuff i just felt the heart of san amdreas that made thart game so good is somewhat lacking in this game.
I just felt nothing really new and original about it, i mean the gta world hey i been there and done that alredy. Also the aiming system is quite a pain, seeing as you cant freeaim. But theres is some positives that are different, such as dating and the buddy system. It makes you feel like your in there because you can build relationshipd with friends and hang out wit hthem in different places like bowling alleys or strip clubs. Only problem is that it doesnt really feel woth it.
SO in a sense i feel i blew a bit of my 67$ i spen on this game, because i pretty stopped playing it after no more than a week with only about 20% completion status. I dont know i just dont feel very inclined to finish it even with all the entertaining cheats.They should of improved the combar system changed it up a bit, make it look cool something like dead to rights , or true crime where the fighting is just a blast .But all in all i mean it is okay but nothing too special.
NEW REVIEW
Okay I apologize for that old review, this is a straight up excellent game. It's got everything , amazing single player beautiful story and graphics and even an entertaining multiplayer mode. Truth is I expected it to be more like san andreas and didn't give it a chance. It's a sweet game. Easily 10/10. It stands on it's own from all the other annoying gta copies that have been coming out prior. And trust me you will like Niko Bellic once you get to know him. If you haven't played this you are missing out.. on easily one of the best games on the 360.
