Money, Power, and Respect
From what I have say before, this game is very similar to GTA, if the name is gone, you might not even tell which game is which. So random killing and cars hijacking cars is somethings you will do very often. But the thing that made this game better is that you can bribe cops so that they don't get into the way, which made this game much easier. This game is also contain a leveling system, you can upgrade your stats with the skill points you earned with your respect level. You gain respect when you do some that benefit your family or complete some mission. RPG lover might found this game enjoyable.
This game is not very hard to beat, it only takes people the average times of 20 to 40 hours to finish it. The game control is also very easy to learn, about 30 minutes will do the job for a average person to fully understand the basic control.
The fighting system of this game is the masterpiece. You punch people by moving your right analog back and then forward, just like as you are moving your arm itself. Killing people with hand to hand combat might not interest you, this game also contain some weapons and some hell likes gun as your choice of murder.
The gun shot sound is very realistic, and over all, most sound were great too. Musics and other characters sound are copy from the movie. If you have watched the movie, you can tell who is the character just by the sound.
From all the good stuff, here ley the bad one. This game is lack of differences, almost all face from the street are the same. When you start taking over a mass number of businesses, you will start asking yourself that "isn't that the business I just take over?" And finally, for all cars lover, this game contain only a few type of cars, you will find yourself with only few different types of auto, and the only main difference between these cars is the speed and look.
Overall, this game is great for people who want only few days of fun. The replay ability is shorten because of the lack of difference in the game. After you beaten the game once, you might want to start thinking about other games. But if you really want beat this game again, I can bet that the third time is boring as hell.
