For this game, I had heard many different opinions in advance and was very pleasantly surprised in retrospect. I played the game with a gamepad and have to say that it was great fun and really much smoother compared to a GTA goes out of hand. It has neat fun while you go into combat or by Bullet Time opponents umnietet rows. Here and there is actually a little skill in demand, but not too much. For me a pleas- ant gaming experience just right. The vehicles can be pleasant and smooth control and do not feel cumbersome. The atmosphere has succeeded, but nothing special. The story is in my opinion a bit too simplistic and hardly provides WOW effects. However, the game is has been lined purely on fun, coolness and action experience for me. In combat you simply have fun animal and it is not tiring even with a running time of over 10 hours. Open game world has not really much, but which then leads to a more linear gaming experience. Certainly there are some side missions and possibilities, but nothing which would now invited me to explore. The game creates some good scenes and confident now and then with interesting twists and well-staged situations. I felt bored at any time.
So to me there is a definite buy recommendation, if one does not make a game too much of an in-depth story depends. Fun is definitely when to OpenWorld, gangster, guns, fists and a (better / other) GTA - is feeling.
