this definitely is the best game in the series
one of the first things youll notice about Liberty city is an immersive world that feels so real and you kinda feel bad for running over someone or just randomlly shooting a pedestrian all because they seem unique. even the main character Niko Bellic is likeable in this one and the characters around him are not just some stereotype (especailly little jacob).
the gameplay reains true to its roots but the new cover and combat system employed has worked wonders and it gets pretty easy after a while but it is always enjoyable and whith Niko being a seasoned proffessional with guns you really feel like you are controlling a badass but the one thing that sets him apart from other GTA protagonists is that he has a very strong personality and you will always want to watch the cutscenes, arrange meetings on your cellphone or you can just cruise around taking in the sights of a very realistic city.
the charm of GTA is still here and it really sets itself apart from the other GTA games and has set the benchmark for sandbox games. one you must not miss as you will be blown away.
+ very realistic world and interesting NPCs, graphics are supurb, charm is still there, combat is awesome, cover system works like a treat, so much to do so little time really this game is a masterpeice.
- handling with veichles can be a little dodgy, some visual qiurks but these faults were not enough to detract my experience.
