It's a bit darker than other gta games, which is great. That makes this game unique and really good, just get this game for its amazing physics engine, you literally can't stop having fun by just shooting anything.
Everyone hates on this game, but this game is just worth for experiencing the environment and soundtrack, storytelling isn't the best but story is good, and voice acting is on another level, hideo kojima and yoji shinkawa are one of the best duo.
