I bought this on the 360 when it first hit. This and it's successor are the only games that I pre-order because I want them when they come out. I played this on the 360 up until (online) GTA V was about to come out - that's how much fun it was. I sold my 360 right before XMas but still put in a decent amount of work in GTA V. Since the online in GTA V is not as fun and not as addictive, I still sought this game out.



I waited until the price was right (under $10) to get it and it took some time to get it together on digital download. I prefer mine on media, these gigs are too much to download even though I have the speed for it. The graphics blow the 360 out of the water as the clarity, textures and everything loos like it should have. Now everything looks more realistic as wood looks like wood, lights shine brighter and clearer. There are many more vehicles on the road and looking at the Manhattan skyline on PC is much better because it is fully drawn all the way so it looks closer to how you would see it from a distance in real life. Of course, like others wrote, it is not optimized well for PC as there is a little stuttering and slight choppiness here and there, but is is tolerable since it looks so much better than the console versions.



Now, the main reason I bought this (besides price) was for the online play. On the 360, there was always someone online even after GTA V dropped. The 360 takes 16 players at a time, so I wanted to see how the PC would do with 32! Sadly, I got on today and at best, there was only ONE person online!!! What happened to the modders and all of the people who were waiting for GTA V? This was a let down because I wanted to see how 32 at a time and what adjustments I would have to make. I guess i'll have to wait for GTA V PC to find out, but where I last left off, GTA V online was boring!
