If all you were looking for is a police chase simulator then its fantastic, people complain alot about how there was much less to do than the previous ones, and they are right. Doing vigilante missions was harder and I really missed being a cab driver, sure i could pull out my copy of Crazy Taxi(its around here somewhere) but why remove it? But there was some things that did improve, the cars do handle better, and shooting from them is MUCH better. Bikes suck, which they fixed later. the cop chases were better, no more looking for tokens which i always hated, what they have now makes more sense.
THe story I cant defend, it sucked, hard. It started out about an immigrant then he actually came to the US to find a traitor, which the writers seem to have forgot for most of the game because it became about some mob thing, hours pass and RS is like "crap we almost forgot about the traitor plot, lets introduce this gay guy so we can remind our selves) that gets wrapped up, they forget about it again, then it is resolved in one of the most anticlimatic scenes ive seen in any media. THe only cool part was toward the end when you had a choice to make and it actually affected the outcome, why the hell wasnt RS doing that the entire game(yes there were two others but they had no bearing on the story really).
The DLC stories were actually better ironically, despite being much shorter, characters were more likable and both of them had more plot focus. Hell they even gave you more stuff to do in those tales, I would go so far to say the DLCs are actually better than the main game
