The game was very enjoyable for me, and the utilization of Euphoria was amazing. The physics were outstanding, and you could easily relate to some of the in-game characters. The one thing that I didn't like about this game was that the missions were very unbalanced. Gun fights could be easy, even when it was just you against 50 mobsters. The chases were very difficult, considering how fast you had to drive to keep up. If you crashed once, then you were pretty much screwed. Still a great game. The sandbox style free roam is very enjoyable, and the multiplayer is even better.
What's great about it: Very Fun, A Great Way To Pass The Time.
What's not so great: Mission Difficulty Is Unbalanced.
