I hate when people compare every free style game to Grand Theft Auto. This is nothing like Grand Theft Auto. The gameplay is way different. You might think since this is a game where it locks on the shooting isn't fun, but it is. You also have a free aim which is a good. I was hoping the driving was better but it's nothing I will complain about. The graphics are good and bad. The explosions and fire are the 2nd best on XBOX (1st is Black). The only problem with graphics is the window of the cars. You can't see through the window and it only cracks. The road and buildings aren't great but I mean it has to be not good because it would lag. It is a BIG place and there is barely any loading time. The sound is better than I expected. The guns are really good. The cars colliding is good, but not great. Otherwise it's good. So before you buy this don't compare it to GTA or Mafia because it's a totally different game.
