This isn't a GTA wannabe at all.Most fun with an RPG.
As soon as you pick new game you have a variety a huge vairety of customization on your'e character. And the first cut-scene of the game is action when you're character gets in the wrong place in the wrong time.And Julius saves you're ass from getting killed and expects you to join the 3rd street saints.
The weapons selection is pretty good starting with how much money you have and how much you are caring to spend for a weapon.
I also like how you have to get respect to do the missions so you get more out of the game than the actual missions. A wide Variety of job oppurtunities are at you're fingertips if you want to be a hitman or a chop shop or a drug dealer. The possibilities are endless
