when you 1st play this game your think its the best you ever played, I mean, what could they of not improved on? New cars, new character, new location, new weapons, new story, bigger, better graphics, better sound and even a small rpg element which enables the player to build up on CJ's stats through various things in the game (e.g going to the gym increases your strength). It all sounds good huh? Oh how wrong I was... If you even attempt to play this game for more than 2 hours a day for a week your understand what I mean, beneath the glossy graphics, and new everything including the vast landscapes there's nothing. You just run around like every single other GTA game which has ever been created. All this one does is gives you more to run around on so you can get bored quicker as you drive through the lush landscapes which don't add anything to the game play what so ever, unless you find sitting there looking at it fun? The truth is this game is all looks, and very little at heart. To my surprise and I think everyone else's GTA vice city was so much more than this could ever be. Oh and tommy? I liked him, but he was not the strongest character, well it get's worse, CJ is a gangster wanna be with a really poor acting. Not to mention his friends who are predictable if anything just accompany you through all the missions you do together. They don't actually do much. Rent this game first and your see how boring it can really get.
