It seems a lot "realer" than the previous ones. It's almost like you're playing Menace To Society or some other gang banging movie out. Some of the controls and gameplay have improved also. I like the bike in the beginning, and how you tap X to pedal faster. I just got past a part where I had to go tag over a rival hoods graffiti... And I gotta do it like 100 more times during the game I guess. When you have to drive up to one of those circles, the ones that are in front of your building destinations, you don't have to PERFECTLY STOP on them anymore, you just pull up to them and the game cutscene does the rest. The rap station is pretty tight. I haven't really checked out the music much though, kuz in the beginning you're mostly on your feet. The map is confusing as FUCK.... especially on the part I just passed, where you have to find the walls with the rival gang's graffiti. Took me forever to figure out what I was supposed to do.
THE BEST PART... which might have been in the last game, but I didn't know it, is the fight targeting system. You just hold down R1, I believe, and just swing on the mutherfucker.... I mean you wail, and every punch connects till he drops. But like I said, it might have been on previous ones, I just didn't know it. I'm bout to go check out the gym tonight, kuz I guess you gotta work out in this one. You also have to eat, which people in the game keep telling me I'm too skiny, and I don't look like a gangster. So the last thing I did was go buy all green clothes, a rag on my forehead, and a rag on my face. The gang's color is green. I've got to say this game is fucking tight though. 10/10
