Nothing against GTA but this game has a a lot of similarities. For one the open world, driving and shooting style, being able to steal cars, and shop for clothes and cars. the main twist compared to GTA is that Wei Shen (Main character) is an undercover cop who goes to work for a violent, and gruesome gang known as the Triad. The Main story revolving your play as a cop is packed full with lively characters, great cut scenes, and many surprises. Of all styles in this game, one doesn't get overplayed by the other. You don't feel like your constantly on a shooting mission, and want to play a driving mission, its constantly being switched up. You do a lot of driving, but that's backed up by amazing and swift driving mechanics, so good I wish a company that produces driving could pick up a thing or two. Aside from the main story the plethora of side missions will keep the game play fresh for quite sometime. There are cop missions, fight clubs, collectibles, races, car theft missions, and missions where you have to go hack cameras. You can even go on a date and sing karaoke. The fighting style is comparable to the Arkham games, and the shooting feels max Payne ISH, and in my opinion those are great at what they do.

What could make this game better: Even though there's a lot to do, I kind of felt i was an errand boy all game, and the gun arsenal felt pretty limited.

I would rate this game at a great buy for $40
