Reviewed on PS5. The gliches and bugs are staggering, crashes happen every 2 hours of gameplay.
But if that’s not enough to let you know that this game is a failure:
- NPCs in this game are lifeless. They do not react to you blocking the streets, shooting at their cars, hijacking their cars.
- No character customization after the first initial set up. YOU CANNOT CHANGE YOUR HAIR OR HOW YOU LOOK AFTER THIS POINT.
- Cops teleport behind you 5 seconds after you commit a crime ANYWHERE (I stood on the ledge of a building then proceeded to shoot an NPC, the cops literally APPEARED out of thin air and started yelling and shooting at me), and then you just run away for about 50 yards away and back and voila, the cops disappeared. The cops cannot chase you in everyday car chase because they do not have the drving AIs
- Sex was also a big selling point of this game, but in reality, you get to choose either a woman or a man, watch a 20-second cutscene, and that’s it. No interactions, no car pick ups, no calling them up to your room, no soliciting at their parlors.
- Gunplay is godawful. Bullet-sponge like enemies, like emptying-your-whole-clip-to-kill-a-pawn-guy kind of enemies. (Yeah I literally walked up next to the enemy to empty the whole clip because it was so time consuming from a distance)
- A hollow experience, nothing but a fancy shell. (Red Dead Redemption 2 would make this game look stupid for if they were released at similar dates)
- $60 game, 5$ worth of gameplay.
- The soundtracks are the ONLY thing that’s absolutely AMAZING about this game, so credits to the artists. I returned this game but absolutely loving the digital sountracks album because it’s that good.
