It's a fun game and it has one of the most architecturally impressive open worlds I've ever seen. It's incredibly detailed and the city layout actually feels very urban, although a little small and cramped (it's a game). The audio design and music are top notch too.
The storyline is whatever though, and it's painfully liberal sometimes. Many of the characters are flat, and the "RPG" elements amount to a few dialogue choices. There isn't a lot of impact that player decision has on the story, which is extremely disappointing. The leveling system is dead simple too, your character can become a whirling god of death without even min/maxing. You can specialize in every skill tree and competently wield any weapon you find. Really disappointed in that as well.
Some missions are extremely good despite the goofy story, like the one of the guy who wants to be crucified. The talking gun mission is my personal favorite. I love that little Skippy. Overall, fun game. Really really pretty. Visually one of the best games I've ever seen.
