If you are a first time player or you have played all the GTA games, you will love this game. You are basically free to do whatever you please. You can go up to random people and shotgun them, or drive-by shoot everyone outside the Empire State Building. You will have to do missions at some point but most are fun and easy to do. The game lives up to all of its hype and it deserves all the awards and honors it got. You play as Miko, a Russian( I'm guessing) that comes to America for a '"fresh start". As you will learn quickly he was likely in trouble back in Russia. The online is alright but i doubt that a lot of people play it because of the stury that you can do again and again. You will even at some points have a chance to kill or save characters in the game. Even the endding you get to choose what to do. You can either get revenge or deal with one of the characters (I'm not saying who.) I have completed the game and it was truly the most fun I had out of any game in the GTA series and is the best game out now!
Verdict: Buy it right now if you don't already have it
