This game.......... is immaculate.
The weapons are all very good, and quite authentic in size and use. The rocket launcher can knock out almost anything. The Mini-Uzi is a great weapon for closer combat, and is fully automatic, similar to the real weapon.
Next, the missions. The missions are great, with high variation between each one. There are choices on what to do in the missions, such as executing a person, and each thing you do leads Niko Bellic (The game's main protagonist) down a slightly different path.
What about the automobiles, you ask? What to say of the automobiles? The handling while driving is....... excellent. The cars themselves are great, with different automobiles haveing different perks. Police or government vehicles have a siren, and I pulled quite a few people over with it. :P. The sports car-types are speedy, very,very speedy, but have their disadvantages too.
Lastly, the game itself. As I stated before, the graphics are insane. The rag-doll physics make crashing fun! I must have spent quite a bit of time people-watching. All of them are unique. Some had bags or cups of coffee and would curse at you, while others were freakin' softies. The map is incredibly large, quite a big improvement over the original Liberty City featured in GTA3.
This game is excellent. Buy it if you haven't yet, because if you rented it, you wouldn't have enough time to play it. I give this game a 10/10 because of the pure excellence.
