[h2] Если бы ГТА и Якудза решили завезти ребёнка, получилась бы эта игра [/h2] Игра, поистине топовая, без преувеличений. К сожалению она так и не смогла составить конкуренцию высшему эшелону, просто ей не посчастливилось с датой релиза, а потом вдвойне не посчастливилось с глупыми решениями "эффективных менеджеров". Тем не менее, пройдя игру уже в 3 раз, я снова кайфанул, и тут есть отчего: [h2] Достоинства [/h2] - Экшонистый геймплей и подача, без просадок - В обновленном издании, обновлённая же графика - Геймплейно, являясь по сути клоном ГТА (true crime) играется по-своему - Множество прор
