If you like doing the same thing over and over this is the game for you. While having great graphics this game lacks so much in gameplay, variance, and replayability. You may grind through one time of playing this game, if you have the stomache for it. Visually, this game is great. Everything else, not so much
What's great about it: great graphics and scenery
What's not so great: doing the same thing over and over throughout the game

Why would GTA decide to take away planes??? That was one of the best parts of GTA, as well as taking a jet pack and riding through the city. If you are going to continue making GTA games, add content, dont detract. That is my biggest complaint with this game. Yes, they added online play, which would have been exciting with xbox live ers being able to take flight with jets against each other. I feel with this installment that GTA is going downhill. Stick to San Andreas

Purchase this game if you like hack and slash button mashers. That, aside from a ton of custimization, is all this game offers. Repetition, not at its worst, but close. I can say this game was fun, for a free demo, but shooting a gun, with basically no accuracy or target lock, is not that fun. this game should have stayed on the original xbox, where it was designed for. Customizing a character in a game that is pretty bad is not all that fun. Think World of Warcraft but worse. Enjoy wasting $60 on this. It is not horrible, but it is mediocre in a list of amazing games out and coming soon. Your money can be spent else where, with much better investment
What's great about it: Good graphics and sorty line

This is a great game for a Star Wars fan. You get to use all of the traditional force moves throughout the game and see some familiar and some new locales. If you are not a star wars fan, you will more than likely not be content with this purchase. It just doesnt stand up to games like ninja gaiden, or even 1st person shooters like Call of Duty or Halo who far outclass this game. If you are a star wars fan, you will be pleasantly surprised with the graphics, and variety of moves and combos that take advantage of the software engine, and the HD graphics. Over all I would say it is a good game, not great. If you are not a huge star wars fan, do not purchase this game, purchase COD 5 in november, or Gears of War 2
What's great about it: Great gaphics and character animations
What's not so great: extremely easy, if not monotonous
