Now with a second playthrough under my belt...
Yeah no I don't like this game. I like the dark humor and some of the songs, but the missions after leaving Portland can be frustrating (specially near the end), you can easily lock yourself out of 100% depending on how you do missions, the lack of an indicator for services (unless you need them for a mission) can make finding Ammunition a pain in the ass, safehouses not fully healing you means you have to spend time finding health pickups alongside going back to save, and some other things make the game one I'm not very fond of.
I wouldn't say not to play this game, but if it's either playing this or the later games (especially Vice City or IV), and you can't do both, pick the latter.
(Oh also to explain why I skipped GTA 2, the PC version I had broke and I just decided to not bother getting it fixed or get the PS1 version running.)
