playing through this is
hate to say it but it beats gtaiv in gameplay
much more challenging, actually have to fight your way through missions
the acting is compared to gtaiv as well as graphics and the characters
i went through their imdb page, surprised at all the big names
but yeah, it's way better than gta 4. gta 5 needs to implement a similar fighting system and remove the realistic driving mechanics -- or at least give gamers a choice.
