I really did enjoy the writing a lot. It's witty and does comedy perfectly. The voice acting is great. Rockstar has always been masters at dialogue and voice acting. But the actual gameplay, it was cool on paper... Having an in game time and having the world change overtime is ambitious for the time. But the missions simply werent that fun to me, they felt basic and some were extremely annoying. The biggest sin is if you fail a mission, you immediatly get booted out and have to go back to the mission location again. Sometimes that can be really far away... and due to the time system, sometimes the mission will outright disappear until it's the right time again. This could be patched with a save system that allows you to save anywhere so you could just reload easily, but save points are scattered quite far apart. Not to mention, the PC port is questionable at best, as I had a crashing issue that would show up occassionally, which made the saving system even more frustrating. It's not just my PC as there have been similar reports of random crashing. I could never fix it. I think this game deserves a lot of respect, and laid the groundwork for future Rockstar games well, but I just didnt jive with it unfortunately.
