To call this game a knockoff undermines how good it really is. A replica of GTA in every sense of the word however who's to say that just because it steals from one of the best "sand box" video games in the world why wouldn't this be just as good, it is in fact as good if not better than GTA. The main thing that stands out in this game above the other "sand box" games is the characters, the characters however stereotypical they may be still are brilliant and enjoyable. The Humor is perfectly delivered, even if it is being delivered from the gutter. If you're easily offended or can't sit through and episode of The Sopranos, Nip/Tuck, or The Shield than this game probably isn't for you. The voice acting is great, a knock out cast rounds out the impressive game play derived from the amazing HAVOC engine used, the future is here and it is RAGDOLL physics. While most of the missions are derived from GTA there are a few choice new ones that leaving you laughing and cringing at the same time, Insurance Fraud and Mayhem are quite possibly the funnest mini games you will play in any "sand box" title, all in all this is an excellent game, even though its far from original, however i for one will be looking forward to a sequel or at least another attempt at criminal life by Volition.
