Very, Very, Very, Very Addictive!
The graphics are great for the Playstation 2. There isn't a huge difference between this version and the XBOX version other than the controls are easier. If you already have this version then there's no need to buy the XBOX version, you won't find much different at all.
The gameplay is one of the shining aspects of this game. You can do an almost endless amount of things. With the addition of swimming you can interact with almost every object in the environment. You can drive a variety of vehicles from bicycles to jet planes.
You can listen to several different types of music from the 90's such as country, rap, and rock. CJ will make several different remarks when hijacking a car or punching someone in the street.
If you've never played Grand Theft Auto before then you have to try it. If you don't think that it appeals to you then rent it first. Every gamer out there should at least play this once, the only exception that I can think of is the younger people that are younger than 10 and may not have heard the vulgar language before.
