Every bit as good as GTA. For the most part, runs very smoothly on the XBox 360, except when there's a lot on the screen at once. Then, things slow down quite a bit. This can be a bit irritating, especially during races when slow frame rates can make it difficult to know excactly where you are at a particular moment in time. Also, draw distance sometimes leaves something to be desired.

The overall game mechanics are excellent. Control is much better than any GTA game. Shooting things becomes a joy, not a pain as it is in GTA. The only suggestion I would make is when driving in cars, you always have to reorient you're view with the right stick. An option to have this done automatically would have been nice. I also think a first-person viewpoint while on foot would have been nice. Overall, though, camer angles are excellent for a third-person game and never an issue.

Besides all the afore-mentioned issues, gameplay tends to become repetitive and I wish there were even more things to do and places to explore. Other than all this, this game is excellent and I look forward to sequels.
