Just the storyline killed it....Everything else kicked @$$!
---Gameplay---
The gameplay is great, you can pick up anything from a street hydrant to computer keyboard to rubbish bin bags! Its that crazy, Now lets talk about the shooting system...Well its actually great, its makes u work for kills by moving the cursor unlike GTA IV which is Auto-Aim. It has the usual guns but also the wacky ones like a tazer, pepper spray, chainsaw and even a sledgehammer. I enjoyed the driving it was similar to San Andreas, but i hated how there wasn't a lot of luxury cars on the street to hi-jack. Also loved how they had the black hawk style chopper with the missiles and minigun attached it made the game a touch funner(I know that not a proper word =P). Though I was disappointed not to see a tank.
---Graphics---
Alot of people say this game has bad graphics I don't know whether there bias to GTA or just down right DUMB. Sure...this game isn't exactly GTA like graphics but it still has competitive ones. Everything looks realistic and nothing like PS2 graphics. The cut scenes are also pretty impressive considering you're player was customized not and original one. The water is also pretty neat when you are in the speed boats. So you cant complain about the graphics when you've got loads of things to do in the game after you finish the story.
---Sound---
I have to admit the radio sucked bad, even worse then GTA IV,
the radio in this game isn't like you're Vice City or San Andreas. One cool feature was the ability to purchase songs from the radio and put them in your customized radio channel(but the songs weren't good except for "the final countdown". Sound effects in the car are normal and precise.
---Storyline---
Storyline is OK, but very repetitive at times. Kill this guy here, blow that there. There are 3 types of main missions, The Roning(Japanese Yakuza Mafia), The Brotherhood(Bikies) and The Sons of Samedi( Jamaican Gang). When you finish these you will do the 4th main Mission, Ultor Corporations (big corrupted corporate giant that wants to eliminate you)
Over all this game is Superb and one of a kind, Oh and i didn't even mention that you could customize you houses, Gangs and even vehicles. Even adding hydraulics and Nitrous!The game has a huge type of variety. A must have for any PS3,360 owner.
