I'd definitely recommend this game, but wait for a REALLY good sale or until game is fully released. The stuff they keep having to drop changes how you play the game. At this point I am stopping my playthrough and just waiting for a while for things to be done. Fun game though! just a lot of work that is still being done, which is appreciated.

starts off a little slow, and it requires patience (if you skip the campagin). but, if you stick to it, the mid and end game is very good. if you like old school GTA mixed with a schedule 1 feeling, this is the game for you. Definately recommend very much.

I love the idea, but at the time there's no tutorial that lets u get familiar with the key bindings, and I have no idea how to play the hot dog stand mini game. it would be nice if there's an overall story to loosely engage in. but I was too frustrated to keep going. cant wait to see it finished cause it a great idea.
