Pros:
- Almost completely destructable environments is fun
- Huge map
- Fun missions
- Neat ideas (i.e. Hijack helicopter, tanks, etc)
Cons
- Some of the worst vehicle engine sounds i've ever heard in a game.
- Dialogue is very repetitive and annoying
- Draw distance is quite bad, worse than GTA
- Story is uninteresting
- AI can be very stupid sometimes
Presentation
Good menus and loading screens. Cutscenes are done pretty decently. Camera angles are good and usually dont get in the way.
3.5/5
Graphics
Can look very bad at times, and very good at times. Character models are good. Explosions are fantastic. Environment can be better at times, but looked great in some of the tropical areas. Overall pretty good.
3.5/5
Gameplay
Very fun to shoot and explode things. Missions are pretty entertaining. Good hijacking sequences. Car controls are usually good, no problems.
4/5
Sound
Terrible vehicle sound. Explosions sound great. Very few lines of dialogue. Mediocre voice acting. Probably the worst part of the game.
1.5/5
Online
Fun to play online co-op with friends.
3/5
Lasting Appeal
Game takes a good amount of time to finish. Will still be fun afterwords to explore, blow things up, etc.
4/5
Overall
Some really good points, and some really bad ones. If you love to blow things up, buy this game, if you don't, give it a rent to see if you like it first.
Overall Score: 3.5/5
