I rented the game. To say the least its only worth a rental. Its a really straight foward game and I actually beat it before I had to return it.The music in the cars was pretty pointless being that they shut off and start on another song when you leave the car and go back in.(you'll be leaving your car alot.) Though, they were a great addition to some of the hand to hand combat moments of the game.

The Controls for gunplay were kinda stiff and sometimes didnt respond(I had the X-Box version.) As for hand to hand combat, it had a variety of moves, but they werent really put to good use and became tedious (though elbow dropping bums was fun.)The civilians running around said some pretty funny shit, like "Oh Diggity Damn I gotta go." And the access amount of swearing was kinda corny at times. But the city itself was really detailed. Even though you cant go into buildings, it still had a vast environment to drive around in.

The Car handling was ok. Basic gta'ish control with the added feature of being able to shoot cars in front of ya. (and in back with nicks magic rubber like arms.) The power-ups for cars, moves and guns were a cool feature added on, but by the time you need em, you'll probably forget you had em.

As for dialog, it was really cheasy with the main character constantly spewing lame line after lame line. He sounded more like a generic substitute for Duke nukem. And the acting for the story was no better. Cept for the cool voice of Lo-pan(from Big trouble in little china.)

So Id say for this game, unless your a real hardcore drive shoot sim fan.(Very watered down version of gta3.) Then just rent and return.
