its not bad. i play it from time to time and have fun, but i wouldnt pay for it, and definatly wouldnt pay a monthly fee. just not my prefered style of game, not into gaming all that much to begin with. missions are cool, and the city is the best part. its HUGE. you can go just about anywhere. fire escapes, roof tops, elevators, subway system, a lot of differant areas too: Achan, Tabor Park, Moriah Projects, Mara, Uriah, Magog, Mansdale, Zia, Camon Heights, Midian Park, Lemone, Hammerville, Appolyon, Hammerfield Projects, Kedemoth, downtown, Westview, and Richland. the place is big! i had some problems with elevators early on, bugs in the game. ends combinations of cloths, pants, jackets, shirts, tattoos, sun glasses, boots, hair color, body types. i never joined a crew and realy never stuck with a character that long. i didnt level up much before deleting it and creating a new one pretty often to experiment with differant things.
