Rating: - Groundbreaking?
The posers at Rockstar, and all of their stinky little game-site "reviewers", have really suckered us this time. This game is a joke and the developers have the nerve to claim it to be groundbreaking. What happened to basing game development on gameplay? This game is full of bugs (maybe the XBox is better), full of bad acting (including the protagonist), jam packed full of sh**y gameplay, and honestly plays out more like a B-rate, PG-13 movie rather than an adult oriented RPG. The posers at Rockstar have played everyone for fools, including me. I gave it 1-star (the game deserves only half a star) for the TV shows you can watch in Roman's apartment - they're actually pretty funny.
Rating: - Controls take getting use to...still a 10 though!!
I dont have as much experience as some others who posted reviews...I spent around 3-4 hours getting use to it, being as I got the game last night. (no thanks to amazon, still waiting on my copy from them so I bought mine from the local wal-mart...the usps is probably the one at fault so I wont point fingers, anyways)This game is nothing short of amazing!!I havent not even began to scratch the surface!I dont think this will ever get old, everytime its something different.When I first started out I was getting jumped by a couple guys, I managed to call the cops & they show up right away and hall them straight to jail!!I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys the gta series!

I purchased the game and have played through a good portion of it so far. My first compliment is the details that have been added. It makes you really feel like you are part of the action.
Okay my beefs:
Controls. They went and changed the control configuration; yes they added an option to revert to the classic style but...
You cannot easily look behind you anymore using classic controls. Gun targeting and aiming is horrible. You can take auto target off, but then you spend a few precious seconds trying to find the target. With auto target on, it is very tricky trying to manual aim; it keeps locking on to every other thing...and there is little help to correct this.
Also of irritation is the fact that you fly through the windshield every time you get in a serious collision. Ever heard of seatbelts?
Plus: the motorcycle handling has been seriously lowered. I used to speed about in bikes, but there is no serious cornering, even on the previously excellent PCJ 600.
The missions are rather dull at first and repetitive. The story is watered down as well. In previous versions, everything started with a bang: in this it starts off with a leisurly drive...
I would have preferred GTA Vice City's excellent story and missions with GTA San Andreas' excellent range and side missions. I only hope that the next version might go back towards the perfection that was Vice City.
Despite all these issues the game is incredibly enjoyable. The graphics are stellar, despite being screwed on the PS3...(360 got the 720i). With all of the rumors about Rockstar being purchased by Electronic Arts, possibly this was a little rushed in order to increase their asking price. Hopefully EA can polish the graphics and control for the next edition and tweak the missions and storyline.
Rating: - First time player
Ok, this is the opinion from a person who had never played a GTA game before. This game is great, the design is amazing and the best game play experience that I have ever had. I have not been lured by GTA series before because I do not like to be the "bad guy" in a game, however, Niko is not a "bad guy", he is just a guy with bad luck and that has not taken the best choices in his life. This game is more like a really good movie.
Pros:
1. GAMEPLAY
2. Music is fantastic.
3. Story is fabulous.
Cons:
The only one so far is that graphics could be much better, but this game is not about the graphics, despite the fact that is a "next gen".
Rating: - Best PS3 game by far
This has got to be the best game in the world ever made. Graphics are unbelievably awesome. Gameplay fun and challenging. Missions make sense. Better storyline than san andreas. San Andreas just plain sucked in the storyline. I don't mind the russian at all. The strippers ain't bad looking either.
