5punk

I got bored of it after a few hours. It's very nice and all, but if you don't love gangster stuff it probably wont hold your attention.

How does it rate on a scale of 1 to Vice City?

Better than San Andreas then.

I'm still enjoying it - I've got about as far as I can in the missions before getting stuck. It's a bit annoying (as the nega-review highlights) that you have to do complete missions over if you fail, including some lengthy travelling, and it sucks that I haven't unlocked the whole map.

While it's true that there's less in it than previous versions, I still haven't found any hidden packages or done the stunt jumps, so there's still a bit to explore. Hopefully in my bumming around I'll have gained enough proficiency to complete the missions I can't do, or more likely I'll pick up the PC version, where big gang fights are likely to be a piece of piss with a mouse.

Of course then, there's multiplayer - with few 5punkers being around to play with, I've avoided this on the consoles, but some of the modes have great potential for 5punky PC-based mayhem, assuming they deliver it with the tools to arrange this.

it does seem like it might make a good drunken friday game.

To be honest I've probably not given it enough attention, AoC and WoW were there distracting me at the time. It is a very nice game whatever your interests and certainly more accessible and varied than GTA3: Whatever.
