This game puts the wild, crazy action back into the sandbox genre.

Throwing people 20 feet may not be realistic, but it definately opens up some of the most fun you can have on a video game. This game would be reviewed higher by all gamer sources if it came out before GTAIV. Never-the-less, this game packs in some things that GTAIV lacked. Co-op online play stands out the most here along with an imense character customization mode. In the character customization, you can choose from every type of thugged out walk there is, and thats just a tip of the iceberge. Multiplayer online needs to be less hectic and offer more variation, but its still fun to play when you're not doing single and co-op missions. I wouldn't be surprised if they release more multiplayer game modes in future downloads, but this shouldn't be a distraction from a truly great game. For me, it was too easy on the normal setting, so experienced players may want to crank up the difficulty level as the AI on normal basically kills itself. This game brings the crazy hard-core action back to the drama with less realism, but more hilarious fun than any sandbox game you can play.
