Having beat the game and pretty much done all the side missions I am now ready to say goodbye to the game. I might still play the online part from time to time, but I am mostly over it.
So let me sum up my feelings on the game.
It's a great game. Is it one of the best...no. Overall it works on many levels but I have tons of issues with it. Since my praise of what works was pretty well done in my last post about it, I will just get out my complaints. The one praise I want to add is that the game felt long enough and worth the $$$. Which is a nice change.
The perspective issue I discussed earlier still is frustrating. Also the lack of buildings you can go in sort of sucks. Though you couldn't in any of the previous ones, its still seems like such a waste of space.
I am also disappointed in not being able to customize my guy more. I loved that about the previous installment. The lack of clothes and customizations is irritating. Even the lack of car types. They all seem too similar in this one. Really a let down.
The aiming is still an issue. Though much better, it still needed more polishing.
Is this going to be game of the year, probably. Should it be, well lets see. Its a good game. It just needed more work and flexibility in my opinion.
