GTA with an absolutely below average music. Just this one fact says it all. No need to mention other sins(which are a lot), just the fact of making GTA with shitty radio makes the game completely soulless.

This is often considered the best entry in the GTA franchise, I personally prefer the fifth entry as I really enjoy two out of the three main leads in that game, however I do also enjoy this games protagonist Nico even if I'm not as invested I the story he's in.
Unlike other GTA games, this story revolves around our hero immigrating to America from the USSR and entering the crime syndicate to survive, while Nico himself does make it entertaining with his dry sense of humour, I have to say that was the only investment I had in the story which boils down to him rising up the ranks of the crime syndicate in the most predictable way possible. The side cast is also entertaining due to their interactions with him; however, their own sub-plots are also rather dull and are only redeemed by the fun missions that they're attached to. Basically, the story is second rate as there's obviously more emphases on the character interactions and gameplay. Another annoyance I had were the friendship meters, specifically how certain npcs would want to hang out with you and would negatively affect later missions if you were to ignore them and effectively pass them off. Roman is the worst example of this as he constantly wants to hang out and can only be safety ignored if you start a mission in the afternoons which us when he initially calls, you are in a mission will have Nico automatically reject the hang out which thankfully Roman will understand and not negatively impact your relationship with him. It's a cool mechanic that's ruined by bad execution, although thankfully it doesn’t take away too much from the overall experience. There's not much to talk about when it comes to the gameplay itself, the controls are responsive, and the mission structure is typical for a gta game.
It's a bit all over the place, however, the game is engaging enough for all of this to be forgivable and thus worth your time.

Don't believe the fans and critics, Rockstar peaked with GTA 4 (their best game) and have gone downhill ever since.

This is a beautiful, human piece of art. This game moved me. Each character felt real, you have to give yourself into the game. Go bowling with Dwayne, hit up the strip club with Roman, go on some internet dates, listen to Kate talk about the generational trauma. I played for 161 hours before I beat the last mission. I didn't want it to end. I didn't want to stop connecting with all of the people that Niko was connecting with. I wanted to know more about his past.
This is a tragedy. There is no victory lap. No fast cars. No riding off into the sunset.
Highest Recommendation. Top 5 of all time.

Right from the trailers you could tell they were going for something more serious, and the loading music confirms it. Violence has consequences, unlike the cynical GTA5 that shows a character nazi-murdering some poor bastard and you could almost expect a laugh track. You're going to run over passers-by all the same.
The inmigrant point of view is ideal to reflect on USA, as shown in The Godfather. Nico's unamused takes on american life work everytime. The story is good, that last choice hits hard. I like the sound as well, there's a mission that could have been taken right from Michael Mann's Heat. Guns sound amazing. I happen to like the driving. It just asks you to take it easy and, once you adjust, drifting is very satisfying, I can't get enough of that suspension.
My main complaint is the colour palette. You get used to it, but it still does look like shit. Except sunsets, they nailed those. Also, I'm not a fan of the three island map. There's a lack of memorable missions and some lame characters but, somehow, the game compensates for it. The "random encounters" were a genius idea and some of them were really good.
Maybe the best GTA, it's different from the rest, so if you like it you got to love it. I understand the frustration with this one but I think it holds up as a special videogame. It's definitely been made with far more attention to detail than GTAV. It set the foundation for what Red Dead Redemption would be, that game better at balancing the serious and the goofy.
