Insanely fun top-down game of random violence. You can steal cars, shoot people, get chased by cops, and of course earn reputation with one of four gangs in your neighborhood.
Gangs award you good reputation for doing missions for them - or by attacking their enemy gang. Gangs do not appreciate you running over or shooting their members, which gives you a bad rep and lots of people willing to shoot you on sight.
There are plenty of weapons and different kinds of cars to drive... including speedsters, vans, tanks, taxi cabs, and Volkswagon beetles. Steal a cab and you can make spending money by driving people around.
Coolness: radio stations, goofy gangs, car jackers, stealing the city bus, "kill frenzy" power-ups, and more!
Problems: there is no real plot to all this mayhem, and after an hour or two you can get a little bored with it.
Learning Curve: Takes a second
