Driving feels dull. Handling is awful, is this really supposed to be a racing game?
It feels like steering a boat. I'll get back to my copy of NFSU2 and uninstall this piece of ♥♥♥♥.
Not worth it, not even with the 3.50€ offer.

I requested a refund as at this time Origin games can't run on Windows 11. After the intro, the game shuts down without error, so does Origin. I'd stay away

Don't buy if you already played on MS store. The save won't carry over and you'll have to play the game from the beginning.

I would absolutely recommend this gem! You'd be surprised by what an active modding and multiplayer community it has. The people are great. The game, who has workshop support for mods, is awesome. Exactly how I remembered it to be back in 2006-07 when I played it all the time. I found it again, and won't stop playing. Get it. Seriously, get it.

Well well well. My first experience with this type of games.
I stayed for the plot. It's a really interesting story!
The level design is absolutely beautiful, weather effects etc, stunning!
The only downside was that moving around was really slow, and it's frustrating when your character can't jump or go on an incline, and you always have to go around a hill if you fall down.

TLDR: Play it. I encourage you to choose the red bubbles. Remember to save each day on a different slot, so you can explore all possibilities and characters.

Well. I just finished the game. It is the best game I've ever bought. Honestly. It will stress your mind, will make you think hard, will mentally challenge you in every aspect. This game is utterly BRILLIANT! Thank you Valve, SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!! I wish there were more sequels to this wonderful game.

Rating: 10/10
Reasons: Gameplay, challenges, dialogues, soundtracks and more.

This game for when it launched brought so many innovations in open world gaming (sandbox).
Now, 12 years later still remains as my favourite game, as the first time i played it back in summer of 2002. it was a birthday gift from my best friend. the only thing the game misses is inbuilt multiplayer mode, but luckily mod communities have brought this too in this spectacular game, It's the first 3D game in the GTA series. This game is history, period.
