The characters and story are embarrassingly bad. They shouldn't have even bothered with a narrative if they were going to be this lazy about it. This might have just taken the world record for 'quickest double-cross' and I'm not even sure exactly what you're supposed to be getting payback for with how rushed/condensed the intro sequence is. The driving is fine.

Average game. So this is an open world game. Which is fine however what's not fine in this game is that they have you with 3 different characters driving different types of vehicles. One of those is the dirt road vehicle where you have to get a Rear wheel drive car, which they don't tell you that in the game. Game is very long and annoying. RPG elements make this a game you'll be playing for a while. I beat this game taking 30 hours. Be prepared to waste time in farming money for cars.
