To rate this game is not easy.

I can think of deciding how many stars deserves this game, quite hard.
On the one hand there are the new features are really awesome, and on the other side there are the things I just do not have.

What I really think is great how the police are going on now.
You no longer need those stupid star collecting but the police can depend.
That's up to two stars not a problem, but from the third star, it is sometimes a little difficult. It's just fun from the police to fuck off. There is still Pay'n'Spray.

The mobile phone is great but sometimes annoying. Class, it is as if you even need a police car. Simply call 911 and there comes a patrol to you. The one can steal the car quite easily.
Annoying is that you are constantly, by people who want something with a company that will be called.

I also think that you can play Bowling now and darts. Unfortunately, this way the slot machines. I found that had potential and was some times quite funny.

What I miss is you, the money for hiding places and spend that. Although you get paid hiding, but buy himself had always kind of thing. Especially since I know now not at all what to do with all that money.
Unfortunately Vertecke have no garage but a car park. From the cars disappear you parked there sometimes. So let's steal the fastest car in the game up and Reset for missions where it would be practically no longer possible.

The small side missions I also find quite funny. There are, for example, the passers Nicko responds to the street or he is approached by them. They are marked on the radar as a blue Mänchen. They are found by chance and take it again and again. The side missions have always a common thread.

The police missions have now become much better, but there is no ambulance and fire missions more.
One can now deal with current crimes, for example, a stolen car or one determines the worst felons and provides an exchange of fire with them. Police missions are in my opinion also lighter than become.
The taxi missions are not as convenient to start. It is no longer simply the taxi boarding L3 and going. Now you have to call his cousin of a then sends to the client.

Unfortunately, there is no longer the driving licenses. I found although sometimes quite heavy but they have nevertheless been fun.
So you have also learned how to deal with the same vehicles.
The vehicles can be controlled but also quite good. For some it takes just a little practice. It is important to use both brakes. (Not the same, but depending on) the handbrake blocked towards the back and the normal brake front. With a little practice to get in really cool drifts around the bends. If you can make it's just fun.

The missions are actually creating all. Even if you take needs a fresh start. Some simply creates not the first time.
Unfortunately driving at missions is much talked WHILE. The one interferes not turn as he can the other like so that his problems as he has to read the subtitles good English, which is not easy while driving.
While I can always look at English but subtitled. Even though I actually understand. (Is a quirk of mine) That distracts me always something. But is not that bad.

In Shootings can now also behind cars, walls and so hide and shoot from cover. Either without ziehlen as the risk itself is made to be very low but you drift itself also not so good, or stepped briefly out of cover and ziehlt, but because you can also be taken. A quick change of cover is also possible. This makes Nicko actually quite good.

I think the frustration factor is not very high. But that depends on the player.
Sure, there are one or the other "hard nut to crack" but at worst you look at the Internet, the forums and looking up a few tips.
Cheats you do not need in the game definitely. Especially as they appear in the menu.

The racing missions can outsmart alarmingly easy. Just hop in the slowest car that you can call, see, and go into a fast. So to win every race in fact.

All in all I would say a buy recommendation, with the Personal geschmackt should still be observed. The time now is not an absolute must in the PS3 players matter, but who buys it does not make any mistakes.
