Worth more than the PS3.
Luckily, he washes up in the worst policed city in the country - Liberty city - to live the American dream. However, on coming to the States, he quickly realises that the mansion, the sports cars and the hot breasted girls infact turned out to be a one bedroom apartment, a taxi and...well...not really any girls.
The depth of this game is incredible. You can't help but smile as taxi drivers are calling after you whilst you're speeding past them chipping the paint off their cars. There's a variety to do with your friends, although admittedly after a few turns of getting drunk and playing darts, this does become rather boring. Despite this, the storyline and indeed, size of the map is compelling and mind boggling.
The graphics featured are also very good. The visuals have been tuned up, but, more importantly, the amount of visuals has also been rectified, meaning no more objects just "appearing" as you're speeding along in a stolen infernus. There is also a lot of attention to detail, whether it be to people (Who are all very different now, no "twins") running away holding their stomachs after you've shoved a knife in there, or the pieces of litter fluttering past you as you call for a taxi.
The sound on this game is again, very good. With a selection of radio stations to look at, yes, including a chatshow, once again featuring Lazlo (Is that how you spell his name..?) battling it out against the psychotic public that makes up liberty city. This in itself would be a good enough reason, but added to this is the noise of the general public, from the hustle and bustle of the city to the quiet suburbs.
And lastly, we come to the gameplay, the most important feature of any game, to which rockstar have clearly put their most effort into. They have made some changes tot he controls which, although weird at first, you eventually become used to (Those who can't can change back to the "classic" set). Shooting is very good, a new feature being able to take cover behind pretty much anything (Walls, barrels, bins, cars, you name it), and has a very realistic feel about it. And, of course, the online mode. There is nothing quite as satisfying as watching someone fly 20 feet into the air as you do a "hit n run" on them, and you can only help but laugh when they pull out an rpg and get their own back. There are a large variety of modes to choose from, anything from racing, the chasing, to a good old fashioned "gun everyone down and stay alive" style play (By which I mean deathmatch).
Overall, this is a good, good, good game. If you haven't got it already, get it. But be warned! Once you acquire this game, you lose your social life.
