I loved the game, and I hated the previous true crimes. The jumping from car to car was fun, and generally I never had any issues not getting a high wanted rating unless I purposely did.
I never had issues, with most of the things. But you did, so good review, I'd give it an 8.5, and I liked it more than every type of this game except for San Andreas, and Red Dead Redemption (if RDR counts)
The graphics were great, but I played the PC version.
