So I picked this up. I haven't gotten real far in it, but I just tried out several things to see how it is. My assessment right now is that it is very much like Grand Theft Auto 3. I like the mafia taking precedence in this story. My biggest complaint right now is you can't swim. I've tried several times and it just keeps saying "wasted". This game doesn't have the amount of detail as San Andreas but for 20 bucks its still well worth it to play another GTA adventure. That's my 2 cents.
