5.0 out of 5 stars Best Game of the Year, January 2, 2006

I think of myself as a hardcore gamer, so I think I would know if this game was fun. From the many accesories you use to make your character unique, to the casinos and horse races, to the wide accesible area that always leaves you wondering what else is out there, this game is great. The missions range from easy to downright insane. Plus, all the new cars and weaponry this is the best Grand Theft Auto to date. But, the rating of this game is there for a reason. I do not suggest you get this for your nephew or niece. But, I say someone about 15 could handle it.

Just think of all the areas you can access and the new things you can install on your ride. Personally, I fancy the GoKart and the racing bike. You may favor the land and water vehicle. Whatever ride you are into it's in this game.

My review is VERY late since its release, but I must give this a 5 as an overall review. I do keep in mind that this game had the 'coffee' bit in it for some rather fake "skin-flick" action, but who cares? The game was rated "M" in the first place, and any 16 year-old who hasn't seen skin REALLY hasn't gotten out of the house much. On second note any 16+ kid who can't differentiate between violence/profanity/etc. on a game and their real life either have not had the necessary guidance from their parents or they need some professional help as the dillusional world they perceive is definitely a problem.

As for the game's stature, I find the series to be quite a large step in the series; becoming quite a legendary interactive step up since the "bird's eye view" GTAs of yester-year. There are so many things to interact with in the game from the vast varieties of vehicles to the aircraft, the people, the controls (local police, "Feds," National Guard), to boats, missions, and mini-games. I find it hard to decide if I take a drive today, finish missions, toy with the game's physics, or the occasional cheat to flush out frustration at the end of a long day. I give two thumbs up to this series since GTA III as it offers so much to the player and between its physics, variety, graphics, and replay value, it--as well as the rest of the recent editions--has merit for a true PS classic!

I really have only minor complaints for the game; the graphics being limited on portrayal of distant objects...merely masked by fog, humidity, or the like. Most of this is covered well by adjustment of the screen and the weather/environmental setting, but is limited majorly by the PS2's video processing and/or overall processing speed. Maybe it's attributable to the graphics engine, but for what it is I would HIGHLY recommend everything from GTA III up, especially since there exists the triple-pack! Go for the gusto!
