You can take a detour to do side-quests, investigate your environment, and test out the cars and weapons on the road, though it’s a scarce selection. Of course, you don’t have to obey the event structure from beginning to end. Like in Saints Row, you’ll encounter a series of unique street gangs and well-developed criminal organizations full of professionally voiced characters. You escape the police with the help of the Italian Mafia.Īfter the introduction, you’re off on an odyssey of non-linear missions for the various organized crime factions in the 3D world. You begin as a nameless criminal, double-crossed during a bank robbery. Like Retro City Rampage DX, it’s a throwback to the ’90s culture, filled with references and nods to nostalgic pop-culture elements. This release uses the series’ recognizable artwork style and cutscenes to tell the story, with stellar voice acting and dark humor supporting the plot. The dark, ruthless crime-filled open world is yours to explore. You return to the seedy underworld inhabited by a diverse cast of characters from all walks of life. Rockstar Games applies the same basic principles at work in the rest of the franchise to their third GTA game.
