Well, I played the game some more and so I became a little more familiar with the area. I realized the reason I got lost last time I played was because when there is no active mission, the S symbol on the radar stands for the save point or something. I thought it meant south. Again, I wasn't very interested while I was playing. I don't think I played the game long enough to get to the more interesting parts. Since I've played Bully, and this game is very similar, I can't help, but compare the two. Although the games are similar, one thing the Bully had that I didn't see in this game is boss battles. I mean it is pretty easy to beat up or kill anyone walking around in the streets, so some sort of boss battle where it took some sort of strategy to win would have made the game more interesting. Of course, like I said, maybe I haven't played the game long enough to get to the boss battles if this game has any.

I never really played any games made by Rockstar because the Grand Theft Auto series never interested me. What did interest me was Bully. I rented Bully and played it almost all the way through, so when I started playing this game it was similar. The most interesting part about this game is the amount of freedom it gives you. You can basically go anywhere and do anything you want. This same feature is what might turn off some gamers. I thought that although the game was driven by a story, it lacked guidance for the player. During my playthrough I died during one of the missions and then I was lost because when you die they bring you to the hospital. From the hospital I had no idea how to get back to wherever I was supposed to be because the city was unfamiliar to me. That experience really turned me off to the game. A simple restart of the mission or something along those lines would have really been more helpful. It probably wouldn't matter in the later stages of the game, but in the early stages it made me lose interest in the game. After that I just ended up stealing random cars and beating random people up. I know that there is a map and all, but I guess I wasn't really in the mood to use it to figure out exactly where I needed to go. Basically I'd enjoy a more linear game and this game wasn't exactly within my tastes, although I'm sure it's a good game since it is so popular. Not exactly looking forward to my next playthrough.
