  • Gameplay

    Core gameplay primarily consists of elements of a third-person shooter and a driving game. The main character is capable of walking, running, swimming, climbing and jumping, as well as utilizing weapons and engaging in basic hand to hand combat. A variety of vehicles are available, including automobiles, boats, helicopters, and motorcycles.

    When not following the storyline to do some free roaming exploration, keep in mind that wreaking havoc will attract undesired and potentially lethal attention from the authorities. The strength of the response correlates to the severity of the chaos. Police address "minor" infractions within the game such as attacking people, pointing guns, stealing cars, killing a small number of people, etc. However, higher level infractions are addressed by SWAT teams, the FBI, and the military.
