Well I sent it back to Gamefly today. I really didn't have much interest in playing it but, I knew everyone and their brother would be playing so I figured I would try it out.

I actually enjoyed Crackdown a lot, Just Cause was ok and Mercenaries on Xbox180 was great! I've never played a GTA before so I was expecting something similar. Wow what a letdown! I personally think all of the above games were better than this. The single player in GTA is very linear, yea you can do whatever you want but not if you want to progress the story. Strike one: very linear.

Graphics are ok, NOT spectacular. maybe they are just amazing compared to previous GTAs. Anyways controls definetly need improving and the same for the game saves. Strike two:controls and graphics

Storyline, what can I say? it sucked. not to mention it feels like it was written by a fourteen year old timmie. I don't mind cuss words being used appropriately but, thrown in every other word! just stupid and childish! Strike three:story

My conclusion: this game is only really popular because it is "taboo" or "pushes the limits" for content. Personally this game ranks right with BMX XXX, the Guy Game, or the Playboy game. Geared for and made popular by teenage boys.

Let the hate mail begin!

After all the time wasted with this game I will be gladly waiting for Crackdown2 or better yet Mercs 2!

My experience was similar to yours and I plan on exchanging it tomorrow, but just so you aren't disappointed in the response, I'll hate you anyway :)

I couldn't agree MORE. with Gatsu. But there is not something everyone in world likes. I hope your next game is better.

A friend of mine and I were discussing the game and we agreed that it certainly didn't deserve 10.0 scores. The controls are a little sloppy and the graphics popping and car stuff could definitely be improved. But the story was probably the BEST STORY IN ANY VIDEO GAME EVER. I can see some of the complaints about the writing, but my feeling is that the dialogue is true to the environment. NG
