Not what I expected because I think the missions lack variety pretty badly. Go here, kill people and escape your wanted level has got boring for me very quickly. I also miss the optional rpg elements from San Andreas.
 
Yes and no. The attention to detail blows me away everytime I drive around the city, but the babysitting friends missions and multiplayer have been a let down. Especially the multiplayer side - it could, should have been so amazing, yet we cookie cutter gametypes and a crap lobby system.

My biggest issue with multiplayer is that the gametypes don't encourage cops and robbers actually seeing each other - cue 10% of your time involving exciting chases and gun battles, and the reminaing 90% doing very little. How about ctf and assault type gametypes across the city? There'd be constant street battles in the middle and plenty of defending/attack action. Imagine defending your base when the helicopters come in, or a sneak boat attack from behind - it'd be awesome. Or a 'steal the armoured car from the cops and get away in a time limit' gametype. Or escort the snitch to the court house while fending off robbers. Or even king of the hill - just anything to encourage exciting clashes. Wasted opportunity.
 
It's what I expected but I didn't expect much. tedious mission and pathetic multiplayer tarnish a very solid base. Roll on the expansions.
 
I see loads of people selling it, cant be that good or are they just playing it like a rental I guess. Just I thought multiplayer would be the biggest thing this version
 
Cracking missions, games about what i expected, way better then most of the dross that gets released but could still be better
9/10
 
mine is yes as good as i expected, but thats because i didnt expect much other then another gta game with boring and repetative missions... so its not actually a good game per say, but as good as i expected... lol
 
Game adds nothing new to the franchise and actually takes features away, such as the army and tanks at 6 stars. There is little variety in the missions which was never the case in vice city.

The addition of the physics engine is its saving grace.

That's the problem with this poll, it shows nothing about how good the general public thinks the game is, just how good they are at judging a games quality pre-release.
 
Well I've now managed just over 40% of the game and apart from one mission (bank robbery) the game is total dross..

I now have four possible mission to do and they are virtually the same :(


I'd give it a 7 out of 10 max
 
It's not perfect, but what game is. All I know is that the attention to detail is stunning, the combat is a lot better than the previous games, the story is the best ever and I've had a lot of fun playing multiplayer with everyone on here.

I can't wait for the spin-offs.
 
this poll doesn't really mean anything coz people expect different things.

for one I think GTA is OK (I like the music, it's non-conventional vibe and the idea of open world); however driving and combat are pretty average at best when compared to other games. I think/expected this game to be overhyped and it was.

Come on, getting 10/10 reviews (anyway I don't take reviews seriously, everyone is in bed together). personallly I think no game is perfect so a 10 review is absurd and secondly GTA is definetly not one that deserves this, if any. I think it's a good game but that's it. Eventually getting mindnumingly boring. I never bother to finish them, to much grindfest.

On a positive note, it has improved (San Andreas was absolute crap, like those lame bling/bling West Coast rap videos from a bunch of tossers) and it's nice to see it back in the Big Apple (my fav in the series was GTA 3)

To me it is more a phenomenom than it is a great game.

Flamesuit on :cool:

PS I like Rap, but rap with a little more depth than the shallow trite that dominates

Yes there was (though it wasn't that good).

I voted second option - it is a good game as I expected and I'm getting some fun out of it, but has some flaws and not IMHO a patch on SA. Worth maybe 7 or 8 out of 10 but not 10/10.
 
Its just about what i expected. Didn't really follow the hype of it until about a week before, so it met my expectations. I wouldn't give it a solid 10/10 however due to the technical issues that it suffers from, but i would give it a high 9/10.
 
I'm loving it. Missions could be a little more varied and I miss the Jet Pack more than anything else, but other than those little gripes it's bloody ace :D
