Okay after playing this fairly extensivley, I'll admit its very impressive, but no way its perfect. First off I will say outside of toying around at friends houses before, this is actually the first GTA game I have played. The main thing that suddenly drew me to this version was how accuratley they created NYC. To me thats the most impressive thing about it, how detailed and alive the city is. It actually feels like a real city. I know I heard a few of you complain about the driving controls, I thought they were fine. The handbrake is too touchy, but thats an extremely minor complaint. My main complaints that knock this game down, and keep it from perfection, is mainly the repetativeness. The missions can get boring at times. I cant say im really into the story or the characters, its just not that interesting. The first day or 2 I had it I'll admit I couldnt put it down. But now after I have explored most of the City and done quite a few missions, I find myself wanting to play it less and less. Kinda seems like the same thing over and over again. Its a great game, but its no 10.0
