Graphics: They are much better than its previous version. The city is absolutely gorgeous and huge...you will have no problem looking at the beautiful scenery. and you can actally make out vercetti's face...However there is still some to be desired...As you can notice the graphics are still a little blurry and you can sometimes catch body parts..like the extremities (hands, legs) going through walls... But overall for a rockstar game it is good. and you can make out all the violence...and i guess thats err..wat counts OVERALL: B
Sound: Very good sound...dubbing is excellent and the voices match each character precisley....the guns sound realistic and the motors of the cars are riveting liek in the past...No real complaints and it actually gets quite comical at times..on time i was on a havoc run and i heard a cop scream while he was burning "call my mother for me and tell her im OK" it was histreical and things like that are always a plus OVERALL: A
Controls: Also very good....responsive...motorcycle handling as well as car driving is smooth...this is especially important when you are tracking down people in missions or running races...also shooting is a breeze as you can lock on to targets and fire at will...the only thing i wish you could do is swim...o yea helicopters are a bit more challenging but nothing like the plane is gta3...a few times of trying and dying and you'll get accustommed OVERALAL: A
Bottom LINe: amazing game..but of course for the mature audience, respectfully...if you haven't got it yet then your insane considering its been out forever...the price is low and if you at the rite age, do yourself a favor and buy this already
