GTAs First Fail.
Graphics
The graphics in this game look really crisp exactly the way a next gen game/console should look. The detail in the NPCs are really good. The detail in the cars and buildings are good although I believe the detail in some of the buildings could be improved.
Gameplay
Overall the game plays pretty well from the new combat system to the new handling of cars. The new combat system introduces the covering feature in which when in a gun fight you can take cover behind anything and everything which I think is a good new addition to the game.
Content
Once this game is completed there is not much to do. Compared to San Andreas this barely has 1/5 of the things SA did once you had finished it. There is a lack of cheats also which I personally like to use once I have completed the game.
Storyline
The storyline of the game is quite basic and gets pretty repeatitive as you progress through the game. You find yourself doing the same kind of missions all the time such as, drive from 'A' to 'B' and kill 'X' and return to 'A' to pick up your reward.
Overall
I think this game is lacking quite a few things considering we are ment to be going forward and improving games. This is taking a step back to GTA III.
9.0 - Don't believe the hype.
