This is a very bland and repetitive game. The only fun i got out of this game was the destruction id cause.
The gameplay is good, the game does a great job of taking the 3rd person sandbox theme and executing it perfectly. The shooting is good and the over the shoulder shooting works great. The auto aim makes the shooting fun and just plain easy to shoot who ever the heck i want. The driving is amazing and the controls react great. The mayhem you can cause is amazingly fun. You can just shoot, run over, impale, scorch, and bomb whoever you want and that freedom is great. Anyone anywhere, you can drive and walk where you want. This games gameplay is the whole reason it deserves a 8.
The story is very shallow and there no point in doing it. People say im a crazy idiot becuase im not a big fan of GTA. Honestly all i did was beat the story and not like it, then i just plugged in cheats, and blew everything up that i could. Of course this game is great but the only great thing is the mayhem you can cause. Still a good game just the story has no point. The developers did to good of a job on the gameplay for the story to be goood.
All in all play this game because the destruction and mass killings you can cause will take that edge of anger you had in you and take it far away.
