as addictive as drugs | | Erin Speaver from Tipton, USA says (20/Aug/2003): | this game is a great! unlike some people i DO think this game is or can be on the grand theft auto level. this game is more realistic than GTA for instance there are no display or map some people think this is stupid but i think it just ads to the fun and the realism like when you never are to sure when you squeeze the trigger you will just hear a CLICK but you should have some kind of idea. and the navigation is going to take some time to get used to but it works a lot than you probably think.and it is real original. another thing that is great is that there are real cars like Nissans and Lotus witch are much better that made up cars. in this game unlike GTA VC your protected by the police for instance if you are being chased by gangsters at a high speed then cops will try to kill the gang members instead of only going after you like there are NO gangsters. another great thing that is so realistic is that when you are having a shoot out with gangsters OR the cops you can crouch behind you car and take air not at the enemy but at you enemy's car (the gas tank) and blow them away, that is pretty damn cool. and like in GTA you can pop tires on cars that is kind cool but it can be annoying when that is all the cops do. and when you are under some heavy fire you can grab a pedestrian. and make them your own personal human body shield!
the heart of the story line is nothing special, a gang boss and his thugs frame you for killing your wife and kidnapping your son, but that is just the beginning, after a few missions the story line gets MUCH more original. the story sometimes gets very complex, at some points and in some parts it will through out some pretty good humor. but the story-line i don't think is as good as GTA.
about the sound, the voices i think are pro. actors because they are great but it took a few main to get used to the accents.
the gun sound FX are better that any game i have ever played. one of the best sounding guns is the AK-47 it is better that some movies i have seen! the sound if the cars are pretty good but something to be improved but doing burn-outs sound cool.
this game is also great in the fact that it takes a LONG time to get board of because it is still so much fun after you haver beat the game, because there is a great free roam mode that allows you to do this. this game (where i got it) was 45$ certinaly NOT a waste of it at all. i strongly reccomend this game!
(as you plobily noticed i referred to GTA Vice City Allot in this review i think they are both GREAT games about equal in quality but, if there was a GTA5 and or italian job2 they could both learn a lot from each other)
