One of the great things about the sequel to the Grand Theft Auto series is the way the gamemakers have been able to re-create a fictionalized version of New York City.

Great mini-review. I have to say that was pretty funny. I'm glad you acknowledge the escapism. Hey, what's wrong with a little escapism now and then?!

I have lost too much sleep the past week. The story-telling is great and for the first time in any game, the civilians walking about and living their lives feel like they are people with things to do. The blending of ragdolls with actual animation make the people's movements and physical reactions believable. There are probably over 1000 little things to list so I'll stop there.
Rockstar has outdone the previous GTAs in nearly every way, save for the love it or hated new driving physics (there's no rear wheel drive in any of the vehicles!). If you haven't been a fan of GTA, you should still take a look at this game, if not for the story mode, then for the all new multiplayer modes which are incredibly fun. Whether working as a team or just wreaking havoc, there's so much to do, and not enough free time to enjoy it all. -
Love the game. Like him when I got the game I couldn't stop playing it. Very fun and great step up from the prequel.
