Seems pretty ok so far. Better than i thought. I've only played it for near half an hour. Top down 3d but with cars and people as sprites. Pick up and play straight away. Will be spending plenty time on this and San Andreas.
I got it today too. Posted on it earlier. Not sure on it yet. I've liked the missions, but the bad 3d on the buildings does bother me. The man and the cars seem to move smoothly, but everything else doesn't because of it. It's strange. On the one hand its smooth, and on the other - horrible
The gameplay is classic GTA though. I like the tilting on the cars, and the random missions you can go on in special vehicles etc.
