Well, to be short, i fricking loved every minute of it. I decided from the start to become infamous and while it is (according to my experience) the difficult way of playing it, it is also a lot of fun. The entire city hates you, your friends, pretty much everyone.
I think the graphics of the game are GTA IV like, perhaps a little better at some times. I don't agree with the reviews that there are frequent popups and framerate drops. They are very rare and only happen when you go ballistic on your enemies or the city.
The story, while being pretty simplistic, is based on your acts. If you want to be the hero, you will notice you will have to do more. Being evil is the shorter way i guess. But the city hates you while you are evil, so everyone throws rocks at you and tries to melee you (lol).
In the end, i would give this game a 9/10.
Also, one little spoiler for you guys. There WILL be a sequel.
