There is alot of Grand Theft Auto ripoffs but this game suceeds as a great contender to the free-roam action genre. The graphics feel dated already but it still looks great. The music has some good artists, but you would be better off listening to your own music. Controls are really great and easy to get use to, but there is no automatic aiming which for some may be a downfall. The story is pretty simple but actually pretty good, you have to help a gang take over the city. I recommend this game to anyone who wants to play GTA4 but don't have the cash or want something different.
