  Navneet Prakash, Nov 04, 2006 1341 hrs IST

  This Avalanche Studios title is an over the top (literally) 3rd person shooter that will keep you hooked for hours.

  Good visuals, Certain innovative gameplay elements, A good package with long hours of gameplay, Stunts are very enjoyable, No loading time while roaming around the island.

  Poor gun combat, Plain story, Several gameplay elements are borrowed.

Vehicular Manslaughter

The game feels like GTA and there is no denying that. Although you enter a car via jump into the window. The car modeling is very disappointing and could have been much better. You can jump on top of your car, while its driving itself, jump from one car to another, go over a cliff and jump out in time to use your parachute to glide to safety. Since the island is so huge, you will constantly go over high cliffs and glide to reach targets. There are no load times while going through the island, which makes it hassle free, since the missions will send you to all corners of the island. But the vehicles and stunts are the most enjoyable part of the game; if you leave them out, it is just a lonely island. You can also unlock better vehicles and enjoy riding a bike, flying a small plane and riding a boat as well.

A Scenic Sight

The game looks awesome on the Xbox 360, not the best but still pretty awesome. The island feel is perfectly recreated, with sounds and sights. Effects like blur and explosions are well done. A few of the cars were disappointing, but other than that most vehicles are well made. You will enjoy this island both from the air and ground as well.

Last Fall
The game is a good mix, it delivers what a standard game should. It won't replace any other legendary titles, but it will satisfy most gamers. It's simple, ride a lot of vehicles, go fly, kill angry gang members and flirt with the locals. Buy it and enjoy it, unless you have had enough of GTA clones.
