Aside from bugs even using the Euro patch, I have to say it is a cool game.. if it wasn't bug ridden I would probably have the nerve to finish this game, but since I don't have the patience to put up with a game that is prone to crashing after almost every hour of play..I have to leave it unfinished. Gameplay: pretty decent.. although clunky at times.. you get used to it.. NPCs get stuck on parts of the environment (their cars do).. although its able to be delt with.. this is just one obvious bug... also some screen tearing occurs while using a 8800.. the game DOES support widescreen format.. contrary to popular belief that it does not.. (of course this is with the Euro patch) I didn't try with the US patch.. and yes the Euro patch works on US versions :)
Graphics: not aging well.. although they were good when the game was released.. but other games did better in terms of graphical representation in 2005. Sound: some sound cut offs using a X-Fi card.. some dialogue is not spoken.. but the text is there for you to read anyways.. the music is okay nothing to be "whoo hoo" about.. it does pretty well to "get you into the game".
Value: excellent, more side quests than you can wave a stick at.. thus bringing the replay value of such a large game to extreme levels.
Tilt: I give it a solid 7 for being a "good" game.. but if the bugs are ever worked out with user released patches.. I will more than likely play this game to its full capacity.. as it sits now.. I cannot say more than a total score of 7.1
