This game is still great to play, and will never get old for me.

I don't really need to say much about it, except it has a kickass soundtrack, great atmosphere, and is really fun to play. I even like this one a little more than San Andreas because of the 80's feel it invokes.

A couple of points down for the aiming which is a bit wonky on the PC (which can be fixed using a widescreen mod AFAIK) and the fact that Tommy, for being a badass and all that, can't swim. Just like Claude in GTA III.

Other than that if you haven't played this I don't know what you're thinking. Do it.

A special note about the whole trouble around this game's soundtrack and those of you thinking songs may be missing: Fear not. I bought the recent version of this game after it came back to Steam, and no songs were removed. It's all there. :)
