Pure beauty! Those must be the best words to describe this game. Basically, the concept is the same as with GTA(3)(vice city), but this game beats GTA3 by far.

Unlike with GTA3, this game has a serious story and can be best compared with the movie Godfather. You don't just run around killing people and rasing amok. Respect is an important role if you want to survive in the streets of Lost Heaven. The cops will leave you alone for the small crimes you commit, but don't push your luck too far.

The graphic are sipmly awsome (who says you can't have graphics and soul in the same game). The models are photorealistic and the facial movement while speaking is unlike anything before.

Controls are simple and smooth (mouse + keyboard for moving and shooting, keyboard for driving). The controls resemble the ones of hitman, 3rd person view. Most cars are slow, but will also control very smoothly. A nice feature is that you (+ your passangers) can shoot at other cars in a "high speed" chase. And cops will chase you for speeding (40 mph+) or driving through a red light (unlike in gta3)

The city itself is huge. The traffic and the people on the streets behave very realistic. There are some places that will sound familiar: Hoboken, Little Italy,... It's quit a nice replica from the 1930.

The background music makes this game complete. It fits in with rest of the beauty from the 1930's.

One bad thing about this game is the high system requierments. You'll need a killer PC to be able play this game smootly. (1000 Mhz+, 512 meg ram, GeForce 3 or better). The game can also be hard at some points, but some challange shouldn't scare you away from such a cool game.

Hey, Psycho-Mod-Pussy-Licker! I already made a thread for this game, with this exact title. I reviewed it, you saw it, you replied. Stop being a wannabe newb.

How odd, I don't remember that at all. Anyway, back then I didn't play the game. I bought it today and it kicks ass. I just got to the "race level" (fairplay). Well that level is a little corny and a little hard. Any drivin tips?

Kill the other drivers. If you run the two or three main competitors off the road, you can take a nice, leisurely drive around the course. I'm not sure why so many people have problems with the race. I won on my second try. Must be my awesome 1337-ness...

Nevermind I got it myself. I forgot to brake in the curves . Just make shure your 1 afther the first curve (which is very simple) and brake before every other cure you encounter. Piece of cake.

This game is so damn addictive I just can't stop playing. BTW, is this game out on the PS2? I don't own one myself, but it would be cool for the PS2 owners to be able to play this game.
