You know what you are getting with any GTA game. While this one took me around 8 years to beat i am glad i did. Despite all its bells and whistles there is still some bad design in here. Alot of halting progression of the story until you have wasted time doing side tasks. Which is a huge turn off in any game. You dont really need to see this one to the end, but if you do you will enjoy your 30+ hours.
