Retracted half star due to the poor quality of the 'definitive edition'.

I was honestly surprised by this GTA title. I really struggled to get into GTA 3, so I moved onto this one straight after. What I didn't expect was how fast paced and management orientated it would be. Granted, the management of your various businesses is as deep as the pools of water that WON'T kill your character. I liked the story of this one but honestly far too much of the story happened off screen and was left to your imagination.

I loved the world of this though. The open world isn't very big but it's crammed with detail. The missions are quite varied too, with a few frustrating missions thrown in to make me suffer.

I'm honestly going to rank this as one of my favorite GTA games for now. I'm going to check out the rest of the series soon so maybe that'll change?
