Rockstar deserves a Nobel prize. For being awesome.
This game delivers on almost every level.
Graphics have improved by leaps and bounds since we last saw Liberty City.
Combat has improved. It's not perfect, but its best we have seen from the GTA series thus far.
Storyline is the best yet. Niko is a hero you have to love and who you really end up caring for. Did I mention he does great with the ladies and actually has a great sense of humor?!? Decisions made while playing will change the gameplay you experience. Similar, but not in any way as in depth as Mass Effect.
Driving. Is. Different. But not bad. Just takes a while to get use to. It is a new physics engine that can deliver some mind blowing moments.
Additions include the use of a cell phone. The cell can be used to start missions, call friends (to hang in whatever way you see fit) or enter cheat codes.
YES! The cheat codes are back. In a world where fewer and fewer games are including the joy of our beloved cheat codes and throwing them to the curb, Rockstar continues to show them the love that they deserve.
When you are not shooting all that moves and creating complete mind numbing chaos you can....go drinking with friends.Have fun driving home and avoid that DUI!!! Or go get a lap dance, or 2 or 3! Or play a game of pool. Or dart. Or take in a live comedy show with actual real life comedians.
The only negative I can think of is the choice of radio stations. Most songs are lesser known tracks. I also wish I could of shot Michelle in the face.
Have fun and enjoy!!!
