I'll start with the bad things, I guess:
- weird mechanics, cause I'm obviously used to GTA V and San Andreas
Escaping police, fighting, you don't recover life at all if you don't find a restaurant and eat, TOLL and making a character IMMORTAL just so rockstar's story would make more sense making you get to the right part of town to watch a cutscene
- Bad performance
This on pc is UNPLAYABLE without patches and mods you find on internet
- Too much tutorial
Everything has a goddamn notification "press this, do this"
About the good parts:
+ The radio...
Rockstar never gets it wrong! Jazz, rock, calle 13, Elvis Crespo, some russian raps/hip hop and, of course, the messed up chit chat in it.
+ They payed attention on every detail on this GTA
When you get near a running car, you can listen to the muffled radio, when someone tries to enter the car and you start driving, they are dragged with it, the moves your character does, you can feel they tried to do it as real as possible for a 2008 game and you can hear people in radio talking about a mission you just did
+ The story
It's much more deep than GTA V, for example, emotional charge, etc. Unfortunately, I felt it just got like this towards the end, cause most of the game is the GTA recipe: go there, kill this man, come back, etc. But It's a goddamn fine story
My verdict? Give it a try. I'd say It's the third best GTA, behind San Andreas and V, clearly.
