I do not have a list of good and bad becasue it is only a PS game so its hard for em to think of any other than just the obvious.
This game is in overhead view and contrary to what many people think its not really all that bad. Youget used to it pretty fast.
The main point of the game is to move on to the other two cities or islands or whatever and gain enough respect in order to do missions for the various gnags.
You are a street thug and go to payphones to get missions for gangs. After you gain an ammount of respect you can do higher up missions for them and make more money that you neeed to get to the other cities.
The missions are just normal type criminal things. Kill him, blow this up. The weapons are as generic as they get. Pistol, machine gun, flamethrower, molotovs, grenades and rocket launcher. And you can puch people as well.
I recomend this game, especially since you can get it very cheap on ebay.
