The king of all guilty pleasures...read up.
STORY- 9/10
The story for this game what was I thought just great. Niko comes on a ship from Russia over to America because his cousin Roman told him of the new life he could start there, and a drugs deal wen't bad and he had to leave immediately When he arrives he finds that Roman was partially lying and he ends up having no cars, no women, and no money. He eventually decides to pursue the American Dream and he wishes to get his revenge on Florian Cravic, the person who he believes killed his entire unit in The Bulgarian War. The Story has many twists and turns filled with fun missions that just make you feel badass.Yet, it has a very depressing ending.
GRAPHICS-9/10
The graphics in this game are really good for a two year old game. The city is full of different colors and hues and it looks a ton like a real city. The only issue I have with them is that it just doesn't really feel like a GTA game with these graphics at first, but they took getting used to. The graphics in the cut scenes look really low detail. Other than that, they are really good graphics.
GAMEPLAY- 10/10
This game has some really addictive gameplay. You can go the way of Niko and do the missions, or you can go sandbox style and just have a blast causing trouble. This game really forces you to do the missions because you unlock the different parts of the city at different points in the story line. Trust me, you get bored playing on the same island. This game boasts a really good online system with numerous different game modes. Online is just as addictive as the single player, you can play as cops and robbers, you can defend objectives, or you can just destroy the city with 15 other teammates. There is a selection of numerous and fun to use weapons and vehicles.
This game is really really fun and I love it. It is a must buy for any older player. It just makes you feel like a complete bad ass! It is cheap nowadays and it can be found anywhere. Great game people. Get it.
