An excellent free roaming game, that despite being a little short, is easy to recommend....
Gameplay- The controls are much, much easier to use than any of the GTA games. Doing drive by's while driving is much easier. The shooting system is excellent also. I love the fact that you can either manually or lock on target specific enemies. I really like the blind rage mode, and it is also much better than dying all the time like CJ would.
Graphics- Nothing special, but pretty good for a free roamer.
Value- I think this game has excellent value, like Vice City or San Andreas, there are so many things to do so it keeps the game fresh.
Sound- The sound is one of the best parts to the game, from excellent voice actors to the excellent soundtracks. I just wish you could use custom soundtracks.
I would recommend this to people who like the GTA series or other free romaers like Mercenaries or the Godfather.
