While not as good as GTA 4, this game still holds up great in its own way

Most people might think that this is just another GTA rip-off, but it isn't. The game's setting takes place in a rough city called Stilwater, where gangs are fighting against each other. You get recruited to help out a gang take over territories. The gameplay is very fun. You run around the open world and do whatever you feel like--jack a car, kill someone, beat someone up, and so on. There's a variety of different weapons to use, and they're all very entertaining. The controls are fluid and work very well. Aiming can be a little difficult while moving, and that's the only flaw I found in the gameplay. It never really gets old to run over people, since it's just so fun! The visuals aren't that great, and the remind me of Bully: Scholarship Edition, but they are better than that. Civilian animations aren't that well done, and there's tons of clipping. The audio is great, ranging from the weapons to the actual voice acting. The multiplayer is a nice addition to the game. There's a variety of different modes to choose from, and you can form gangs (aka clans) to fight against each other. This isn't anywhere near as good as GTA 4, but it still stands tall in its own rights, ultimately making it appealing for anyone who's interested in the genre.
Score: 8.7/10
