I usually don't comment on many video games on this site, but even after the fact of it being six years since this game has been in existence (and since then other GTA games, most notably recently GTA 4 for the new consoles, have come to fruition) I must make this about as high as a recommendation as I possibly can. It's the ultimate in fun, wild run-amock games, while also being fantastic as an RPG. You run missions as the Ray Liotta character, you move on up in the gangster world, and it gets more fun (and more challenging) the further you go along. Or, if you're not in the mood for a run, let your own personal psychological 'Id' go insane: one of the pleasures of the game is that it's exciting in a social setting, with a bunch of friends taking turns while pummeling the crap out of their cars, killing as many civilians (or cops) as possible before the star rating goes sky high, and just doing nonsense like gunning down gangs in malls and listening to corny 80s pop and new-wave.
Great cast, superb design, wonderful story (if one can call it that), and you've got a game that's about as fulfilling as the best chocolate you've ever eaten: you want to put it down, but why carp?
