To me at least, this was a complete waste of money. The so called "sandbox" mode is just you spending some time to "beat" the level. There is no competition, no one to fight, no trying to muscle in on you. You just build up, paying off police now and then to lose "heat" until you own everything in the *miniscule* maps available. If you enjoy, short, predictable games that you can win with ease then you'll like this. If you were hoping for a gangster strategy game...there is no strategy in this, non what so ever. Strategy, requires opponents, what this game has feels more like quests than anything else.
If you haven't, you have to. If you have, you already want to again.
I never could get into Civilization, this however? The only game where I actually youtube up the cut-scenes to *this day*. And the gfx etc are still perfectly fine even by todays standard (well, not exactly cutting edge, but no eye cancer and such).
