I like it more than any GTA except for San Andreas. The action both gun, and melee is so much better. The story and characters were more amusing to me than GTA4's though not necessarily better, it has some amusing actors like edison chen, emma stone etc. The dress-up is fun and should be in every game. It also looks and runs much better than non-modded GTA4 on PC.
The game is much shorter, smaller, and has less content though. It also lacks the really good radio stations which add a lot to it when you're fuckin around, because it takes your mind off doing menial tasks. And no planes. GTA4 lacks that though too.
It's not perfect, but I'm not a big fan of GTA outside of san andreas (I think they're all good, but overrated games), and enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. Graphics are quite snazzy on PC too. I'm waiting for a sale so I can get all the dlc for cheap on steam.
