Absolutely mind-blowing.

I'll tell you the truth. When this game was first announced, I was like, "OK, cool, another GTA. Anything different?" Then I started reading about it, and was beginning to become intrigued. Then I found out about the Online, and I was like "Dude, holy **** I have to have this.". So at about 4:30 PM April 28, 2008, I put down my 60 dollars. I couldn't focus at school the next day. When I got home to play it, I hopped onto free roam, and was a little underwhelmed. This was probably due to the fact that there was only like two people in the room. :P. So, I left, and engrossed myself into the single-player, and fell in love. If you people know what the theory of Marxism is, the story BLEEDS the core concepts of it. Niko is the first GTA character that I actually care and feel for (He's my favorite illegal immigrant) . The story has alot of twists and turns, full of people who will stab you in the back just to make it up that financial ladder. The game's controls take a little while to get used to, but then they become second nature. The graphics are incredible. The city is so alive. People react so realistically, that you feel bad for them when you play the "Stop Running Game" with them (Shoot them when they're trying to run) The audio itself would be enough to warrant a M rating. I mean SERIOUSLY. But it engrosses you in this dark seedy city. The music is varied, and I like that. The gameplay is smooth as silk, and the online is the best I've played in a while. Get into a 16 player Turf War game and then talk to me about intense. I kind of feel sorry for the little kids not being able to play this. They are missing out on an incredible game.
