i thought it was good, the only let down for me was the little amout of individuality you could have and the fact money was pretty much irrelevant.
gta san andreas had gym, haircuts, car modding, loads more clothing choices, choosing houses and places to live to buy. and on gta4 you couldnt buy anything. felt like no incentive to do massive missions if you didnt need the money but i think its hard to deny the graphics and gameplays pretty impressive
and ive got the lost and the damned and it seems good, i was apprehensive about being a biker gang cos i hate using bikes and fallin off but the bikes are good on this. probs worth 12 quid just for a bit more gameplay, new cars n weapons n stuff
