I don't know if it's a bad port or if it's just aging poorly, but I struggled to enjoy this. I played the game back on the 360 and remember really loving it, but this was a slog! It has its moments early on but after a while it becomes the most repetitive thing ever. Watch a cutscene, drive to point A, watch a cutscene, drive to point B, watch a cutscene, shooting gallery, watch cutscene, drive to point C. That's it and it is ROUGH! Found myself wondering why I was pushing through it all. And I mean, this is a GTA clone, the formula shouldn't have come as a surprise, but the problem is the mechanics suck. The driving is so bad it started to become funny to me. I challenge you to get where you're going without destroying your engine or t-boning a cop car after which he chases you around the block while you crash into everything in sight.
After struggling with all that, I even lost interest in the story. Oh also, some mindblowing game breaking bugs. (Like when a character tells you to go to a sewer entrance so you follow the waypoint and discover that the entire sewer portion of the map hasn't even spawned in) I was really looking forward to revisiting this. What a bummer
