Not actually a GTA game.
This game admittedly is vast, but the whole storyline, chores and continual use of the word **** is off putting if not a tad unnecessary. The game sprawls across a vast area but this is too much. Also, I preferred the original concept of a Lone Vigilante as opposed to this whole gang thing.
The sound track is not nearly as good as Vice City, too much gangster rap for my liking. I mean, who really likes that?
The characters also annoyed me, I just couldn't relate to CJ at all, in fact, I thought he was a **** The others were also one dimensional and cliche'd.
Buy Liberty City Stories if you want some classic GTA action.
