Definately a legendary game of the grand size, tho personally not my favorite (that honor goes to VC, VCS, 4 and TBOGT), I enjoyed it quite a lot. I also like all the story beats about drugs and what the hood really means (Sweet can't see the big picture, I agree with CJ on that argument they had)

I'd give this a 4.5 but goddamn this was full of so many shitty flying missions, ugh, the way they made the Flight School mandatory when they could easily cook those tutorials into missions is just dumb, I absolutely hated all the flying missions here and did anything I could to make em easier or use fuckery at my disposal without downright hacking or cheating. What they thought was innovative is just plain up poorly designed, imagine making such mindnumbingly bad game design that it actually demotivates the player from playing for a while...that's Flight School, by Vertical Bird, CJ being sick of this shit couldn't resonate with me more....

But to end this on a positive note, I love how enthusiastic CJ is about the heist, feels like he wanted to something like that his whole life, he's in his element and I'm happy for him. I also love Woozie and his friendship with Carl, it's quite fun and wholesome and it feels very natural, to the point it feels like not even Woozie and CJ themselves expected to get this close. He feels like a closer homie than Cesar, at least to me lol. I also quite enjoyed Catalina's phone calls, have fun with that in 2001, Claude!
