- The graphics are superb, a few little glitches with shadows disappearing and the like, but otherwise, better than GTA
- It has crashed once on me
- The 'on-foot' shooting bits are fairly challenging. By default, the targetting is not automatic, so you have to aim.
- The replay/director options are ok, but a bit clunky to control
- And finally, nothing beats the buzz of chasing another car with your mate hanging out of the window, blasting away with an automatic weapon - GREAT!
I'd say that due to some rather glitchy physics, most of the cars, bikes, boats and whatever else are pretty hard to control.

While some of the graphics can be quite pretty there is no excuse for the amount of pop-up from both scenery and other vehicles, pedestrians and cops.

The on-foot shooting bits are challenging due to some pretty poor default control mapping onto the pad. Although to be honest i've not looked to see if there are any other control layouts available that would better suit my tastes.

All in all, a very big let down.
