There are certain reviews that are more difficult to write than others. Sometimes it's just hard to quantify what is or is not good about a game due to the way it doesn't quite fit the normal mold.
Graphically stellar with decent framerate; Extensive storyline is engaging and immersive; Heists are a massive high-point where choices matter; Pacing is perfect; Soundtrack is boxset worthy; Gunplay and driving mechanics are better
Cannot restart a race or mission midway; Races can be brutally difficult
