Pros: Graphics, story line, charcaters, side missons, sequel!
Cons: The cops seem to get on your but ALOT quicker in this version!
The bottom line: Even if you believe that GTA has lost it's luster, you have to give it one more chance with this sequel.
Now you have to understand that I've been playing GTA since the first one game out yrs ago! I had gotten bored with the very idea of ANOTHER GTA! Hasn't Rockstar done all the can with GTA? I mean come on, we've seen it all. An 80's version with the abilty to buy properties to a "ganster" version with the abilty to customize you character is almost every way. But my soon to be husband insisted that whe give this version a try! I was BLOWN AWAY! It was the most graphical detailed GTA yet! Not only does it have your typical GTA style game play. you know your choice between running around creating mayhem or doing stratigh missions, you can also stumble upon random characters that aren't in the main story line. You also befriend a wide varity of characters while playin, including dating a few and if you can keep the friendships up and met and mantain those requirements they unlock special ablities for you. You can get online as well and try and meet women off the internet and take them on a date or two. They, as usual have so many puns in this game, it keeps you laughing. Not only is the game play unending with all the possiblies give to you but the story line it's self is excatly quite good in this installment! I was surprised! I would say it is by far the best GTA in the seris to date and a must try for all GTA fans. There is SO much to do in the city, it's to mych to name!! Just an FYI you will need the guide book, trust me. i didn't buy it when purchasing the game and ended up going back the next week to pick it up. Also try a head on car accident at a high rate of speed....quite fun!
