The game is just extremely repetative and far too easy, i dont understand why it's got such high review scores.
I started on the hardest difficulty ('realistic') and pretty much walked the entire game with the stun pistol, which you aquire soon after starting the game.
I didnt need to buy any addition guns. Didnt need to buy any cars or bikes. pointless picking up any of the cash drops because you never spend it. You loot items everytime you steal a car, which you can trade in at a pawn shop but again its a waste of time as you dont need the cash for anything.
Causing chaos and destruction is fun for a while until you realise there's pretty much no reprocussions; If you die you usually spawn in the same place, minus any cops or gang members who were chasing you at the time (they just vanish) and with no penalty (no cash taken, weapons removed ect. nothing).
You can loose cops and gang members by hiding in plain sight and once the timer's up they just forget what you look like and disperse.
There's no online racing, the online hacking seems pointless (and more annoying than iut was in the first game), nobody ever seems to play bounty/bounty hunter. There are leaderboards but they reset every 2 weeks or so
Most of the missions all feel extremely similar - hack this CToS box, get information off that laptop / phone / pc, unlock this door buy hacking that switch over there.
Vehicle handling is improved, but both games were still better than gta iv in that department anyway so not exactly the worst games for handling.
I enjoyed the first thoroughly, despite its flaws. Yes it was dialed back etc but i wasnt interested in that, I just enjoyed the game for what it was. This though, waste of time. It's just not as fun.
