That game is sooooo awesome!!!! I played it at a friends house. It almost makes me feel ashamed to play gta.
You can take hostages, have a prostitue business, call people, shoot out of a car forwards, crashes are more realistic, graphics are much better, more variety of guns, custimization beyond your wildest dreams, awesome fight scenes, has ghettos and suburbs, and much more!!!
NOT TO MENTION!!! It takes place in chicago (where i live!!) and all the gangs are based on real chicago gangs:
Saints based on: The Saints
Rollers based on: The Gaylords (lol its a real gang)
Vice Kings based on: Latin Kings and Vice Lords
Los whatever based on: Nortenos
And its actually accurate to chicago, all the neighborhoods in it are real! So if you ever have the chance to play it look for a place called "Humboldt Park" thats where i live!
lol sorry had to get it out of my system, just played it at my friends house.
