My thoughts after 45+ hours

[RetardOfTheYear]

Finished the main story one time, started a fresh game (currently half-way in the main story), here's my impression.

 

Strong points :

 

- The game isn't too easy (I played on free-aim only so far, that's probably why)

- The cars/trucks handling, although a bit too forgiving for my taste, is still a load of fun.

- The voice acting and animations, are very good.

- Loved the humor at every corners.

 

 

Weak points :

 

- Bikes handling is not where it should be after what we had in GTA IV : TbogT

- Sometimes the feeling to be playing some long 'interactive cutscenes'.

- The first mission should only be a cutscene IMHO.

- car damage is ranging from good to horrible, for no apparent reason (and I'm not talking of armored cars)

- I'm older now than in 2008...

- the stats are missing some classics, like average speed and total time for example.

- Taxi mission are in, but where are the police; ambulance and firefighter ones?

 

 

 

Overall, fun game, very well done, could be much better but it's already pretty damn good, I'm looking forward to the online part while and enjoying my second playthrough.

"...Could be much better"

 

False. It is perfect but at least you said it was damn good. This game is the greatest piece of video game that has ever existed. Period.

I strongly agree. I feel like a lot is missing or was taken out. We'll see if they add more once GTA:O is out though.

I agree on the side missions. I don't know why the vigilante missions were not added and not many places to enter, Hope a DLC soon on correcting some things

why are people bitching about bike handling? its easily a 100 times better then the bike handling in gta IV where you basicly powerslided if you tried to take a corner with any kind of speed.
