I am a big fan of the Grand Theft Auto series. In my opinion, of the games released so far, this was most enjoyable for me, however I was not a fan of the storyline. I think it was underdeveloped, lacked thought processing, and as far as the storyline goes, i would say this is close to the bottom of my list. Nevertheless, there is a great variety of weapons, vehicles, characters, and body functions, that until this game were not possible. Very addicting, but in a good way, I could not put down the controller once I started playing. I would recommend using cheats in this game to see its full potential. I would definitely recommend this game, despite the poor storyline.
What's great about it: Great Game, Good Graphics for Size of Map, Fun for Hours on End, Great Variety of Vehicles and Weapons
