People seem to think this is a horrible game, but I'm having lots of fun with it, and I honestly think it gets absurdly overlooked.
The gameplay is fluid, the voice acting is pretty decent, the whacky parts are really funny, I never had any issues with the mechanics, there's loads of variety in the different missions, and mastering each and every one of them offers a whole lot of replay value. The graphics look really nice, even on older machines, like mine; sure, they're nothing to write home about, but they do their job, and portray a very moody faux-Mexico. The city feels alive, full of people going on their daily duties, each neighborhood has a distinct feel that gives the game some variety, and pretty much every part of town has back alleys, buildings, parks, streets and rooftops to explore at your own leisure.
I guess people tend to dismiss this game because they think it's some sort of "poor-man's GTA", but I wish they'd only give it a chance... I mean, I'm not a GTA fan by any chance, and yet I'm loving this one, so it definitely does something right.
I can't quite recall how and why I bought it, but I'm just glad I did. I highly recommend getting it. It's just uncompromising fun, I don't think it tries to be more than that, and that's alright, by me, sometimes we need games that are just that, with no pretension of being the next life-changing experience.
