There are also Hollywood-effects that you get during the story slo-mo aiming to front and back, speed boost, and ram-moves. You are also able to change vehicles on-the-fly.

You just drive up behind the one you need and jump from your car to it and kick the driver out. It looks as great as as the other effects There are both a very addictive story (truthfully I was playing from 7pm to 4am without a break) and side-missions for example to smash city-property to a given value, kill the opponent, take over an enemy’s car, etc. These missions, if completed with a high rank, raise this or that parameter of your driving skill.

Oh and I totally forgot to mention about the shooting side of things! It’s natural that you can fire a pistol from the car but you’ll also have to shoot while walking, just like a casual 3rd person shooter. It’s well developed for a game with a combined genre. Maybe even better than one would expect.

The sound is good, but not great. The thing that i dislike is the absence of settings again. You can switch music tracks ONLY if you’re not on a mission.  But on the other hand – the music starts and rises to a crescendo when the action picks up and fades away or calms down when you reach safety. So... I’d say that it’s as natural as the absence of track-switch within a movie. Plus the music is quite appropriate and really helps to set the atmosphere for the game.

There is no multiplayer, but there are 10 pieces of art illustrating certain episodes of the story which are unlockable. Perhaps we will see multiplayer later in an add-on but overall the extras weren’t all that exciting. Still though, the game is rather good and well worth checking out.
