It's ok. A cheap GTA clone. It's more based on gangs though, with you being able to recruit people to join you etc. The framerate seemed to be really bad in quite a few places though.

some of it's quite good. It's a lot better than the last GTA release anyway.

Playing it atm, holy shit this game is dire.

Poor framerate, shitty annoying characters. Everyone has to hold a gun sideways of course, everyone has to say "Mother ****er", "Nigger" or "Yeah!" at least 4 times in each sentence. To join a gang you have to do what everyone does really, remember at school when you had to beat the shit out of your mates and their girlfriends in order to be accepted into the group? yeah, thought so.

It's also the biggest GTA ripoff I've ever seen. But done even worse then GTA is (yes I liked GTAIII but not the sequals). This game is buggy OTT teen chav trash IMO.

I completed a mission, soon as I saw the words "You're now able to use one homie!" (something like that) I switched it off.

lol that's the part where it actually had some gameplay though, right where you switched it off But yes it is crap. The only good thing is the car handling which is where you quit

Agreed, some of it is quite fun but the game is so annoying and poor in other ways. Think I'll wait for GTA on the 360
