The graphics and character rendering were the best I've ever seen in a GTA game. The 1940s Los Angeles they created was huge and beautiful. Supposedly they created 90% of the city to scale.

Unfortunately the main missions (cases) are so boring and tedious that it kills the game... and there's nothing else to do!! They use 3 discs and build an amazing open world, but don't let you do a goddamn thing!!

The only time I had some "fun" was hunting for easter eggs and doing the few side missions. In other words, the worst parts of a regular GTA were the best parts of this game.

I would not recommend this game to anyone over 10 years old. It does bode well for the next regular GTA though.

I played it to the end too, but was disappointed as well. I don't want to spoil anything, but I hated how anticlimatic the ending was. It was like they established the real bad guys, and then don't let you go after them. And even though I enjoyed certain aspects of case solving, it felt like you were doing the same thing time after time.

Sounds like every GTA game to me.

Good point. I love GTA but the missions do get repetitive. I hope they spice it up next time.

One of the trophies in this years' Madden will be based off this user video as seen below. I'm only posting this because I think this video is hilarious for some reason. And the guy talking sounds like Ray Lewis haha. Warning - the language is def. NSFW.
