Perfect for it's time and the time it represents in the game, I've found this game incredibly more fun than any other Grand Theft Auto game I've ever played and it's fair. The story is of course full of cliche's (like any early-mid 2000's flick), but the way the game converged ideas it carried on to the gameplay and the worldbuilding and characters around it is perfect but it could've used more work to reach it's full potential, like any Ubisoft game, it feels unfinished and sometimes feels or plays like that. Just a great game from my childhood all-around, used to play it alongside GTA:SA all the time and the time period thing really hit, It's good. Very good. Also the soundtrack is the best you'll find aynwhere, better than any GTA game, hehe i see where all the budget went, just like some other GHM game ;) Solid 4,5/5. Can not overstate the love for this game
