Although it is obviously made to take after GTA, the superb graphics and good voice acting makes this one hard to miss..
The missions are fun. Some are the usual run in, kill everybody, get money/respect. But I think my favorite ones are the hostage missions. For those that don't know what these are, if you jump into a car that is carrying passengers as well, and take off right away, you'll have the option to trigger the hostage mission. What this entails is you, driving while cops try to catch you. If you can avoid them for whatever the specified time is, you'll get a certain amount of money (from what I've found it's ranged from $300 to $1000). Not hard, just fun. If you're a fan of the GTA series, pick this up. If you'll be pissed because there are no bikes in the game...deal. My vote is pick this one up.
