The verdict
A beloved Rockstar classic: GTA-style school sandbox with great story, humor and soundtrack. The PC port crashes constantly and needs fan patches, so skip it if you won't mod.
Great for
Nostalgic Rockstar fans willing to install SilentPatch and save often
Main risk
Frequent crashes with manual saves only, losing progress even with patches
