SAVE YOUR MONEY! don't even rent

This game is just a major headache--can anyone say Stuntman? Oh my gosh, this game hides so well. It has this beautiful outside appearance--the graphics are amazing the voice acting is decent and played "real name" actors like Ving Rhames. The plot is pretty hardcore and what they say you will get to do sounds awesome!!

THE PROBLEM?? Everything else! Once you get past the superficiality of the above topics, the game SUCKS! The cars are fun to handle when it goes your way, but more often than not the tendency to slide becomes ridiculous. A slight turn could put you facing the other direction--which is even worse by the fact that most missions are either timed or require you to keep up with an enemy. The car damage is nice and detailed--but who cares when I said turn left and I did a 180 and got wedged between an invisible wall (stupid game engine) and a pole.

The plot and cutscenes are awesome, but the missions that go with them are so bland! Sad attempts at copying GTA, that's what I think. You never feel like you get a break--a chance to go browse the city for shortcuts and health. It is into one timed mission, to start another. Of course, it will actually take you as the player much longer--because just like in stuntman, you either perform the mission perfectly (their way) or you will start the mission over. And it is an extremely annoying start over with the inability to skip any videos--the repeitition and sheer aggravation with sitting through it gave me a headache before I finished my first mission.

This game is a sad sad sad sequel to an otherwise great and groundbreaking series. The shooting/on foot parts can sometimes be fun--and your character looks great--but it isn't worth it. The engine is just sad. Your character doesn't really feel there, and he walks sideways easier than straight. I like shooting better than in GTA 3/4, but the enemies' firepower always drains my health too fast and spoils the fun.

Also, anytime you are given a mission, pay close attention, because they tell you exactly how it has to be done, and you can't try to figure out what they said later. Often I couldn't hear what the guy told me (no subtitles for this part of the game), and I never could figure out what I was supposed to do.

I rented this game and had this much trouble with it, I wish I would have saved my money. This game is too hard, too repetitive (and no you have no sweet victory cuz you're so mad it took so stinking long and so many stupid random things happened along the way), and too much of too many bad things to be worth even renting!

It is also more mature, from what I seen in the first 5 minutes of "plot length" (2 hours of actual repetitive play), than any of the other games like GTA that are out there. Flush with detailed cutscenes of murder, shootouts, etc.

Save your money!

Sucky Game

When I put this game in I played the take a ride mode an thought Holy S***. Best game EVER. It is a mix between True Crime: Streets of LA and GTA:VC. I have a Gamepass at Blockbuster and I might keep it until Mid-September.

I bought this game and one thing that really caught my eye was that each cars engine had a different sound and that the cars are real that are on there not like GTA. It has a sweet thrill cam that makes you think your watching a movie.So BUY IT the first chance you get.

NICE

I must be one of the only people that finds GTA not that fun. When I played 3 and Vice City, I got bored of the game in like 5 minutes. My main complaint is the driving physics. I thought Driver 3 is a better game because the driving physics are great. People may get frustrated becuase they have to master how to do power slides and and use the ebrake but I believe it makes the game more fun. If you don't then you will never catch people. The driving A.I. is great I think. When someone is fleeing from you they are not just going to drive straight and slowly make right and left turns. They make sharp turns and weave in and out of trafic. It's just like controling the case car in a movie. I do however agree with the others that trying to shoot people was hard, but I got used to it pretty fast. Overall I would recogmend this game.

Driving is cool

The Driving in this game is cool and semi-realistic. The damage to the cars looks amazing. But other than that it all blows. The missions are so unbelievably hard it's not even fun. If you don't have auto-aim on then you aren't going to get anywhere because the shooting is extremely unrealistic and also hard. The cop cars are ten times as fast as yours so have fun running from them. There is no good rocket launcher except some dinky thing that shoots out little grenades and they only go like 30 feet. Overall I and it looks like many other people say save your money or get GTA.

Close but no cigar
