This game is good, but all the hype about its size scope and length was unjustified. It is really not much longer than 4, and nowhere near the size of san andreas. The playable areas (cities, states etc) do not get close to San Andreas. The game is solid, but there are some issues with it. Such as the fact that it takes one punch to kill somebody now. They spent so much time on the minutia they forgot about the basic stuff. There are also several dropped story lines. I cant tell if they ran out of time in its creation or were plain sloppy.
