You know I was gonna wait until I beat the game before writing a review, it seemed impossible to give a real, comprehensive review before I had even finished the game, but I was wrong. If there is one thing about this game above all else is that it has an incredible amount of gameplay value. I have been working on that thing for 40 or 50+ hours, and yet i'm only about 60% done. So I wanted to go ahead and write the review while anybody still cared to read it. Everything about this game is outstanding. From the graphics to the missions to the cars and trucks to the voice acting, its all just so good. As good as I have ever seen a game be. This is my certified guarantee that if you buy this game you will enjoy playing it, even sometimes enjoy watching somebody else play because the story is just that captivating, and you keep wanting to know what will happen to our boy Nico next. I'm a freak when it comes to Madden and Tiger Woods, so I dont often go outside of that for games, but I'm so glad I did this time. If you aint got it, get it.
What's great about it: Gameplay, voice acting, multiplayer, replay value, graphics, suprises
