This is one of the best feeling third person shooters ever made. Every gun being capable of killing in one shot makes them all feel incredibly powerful and dangerous. On top of that, all of the violence in this is brutal and impactful, all of it leaving this grime over the whole thing that makes it feel dirty and gross. It's not Kane & Lynch 2 gross, but its still pretty gnarly. The airport is one of my favorite final levels in any game. It is just one long stretch of this incredible gunplay overlaid with this game's incredible score. HEALTH did an amazing job with the soundtrack and it is one of my favorite soundtracks ever. I've heard people complain about the angrier, more vulgar Max in this game, and I have to say I really don't get it. Dude's been through a lot it makes sense for him to be this fucked up. In general, I like this game's story a lot, I just don't love it like I did 2's. A game with this game's gunplay and 2's writing would be one of the best.

Rockstar will never re-release this game because they don't want you to know that they can make gunplay that feels this good so when GTA VI comes out and still has mediocre gunplay like V you won't know any better.
