The verdict
A classic sandbox with unmatched building destruction, but dated missions, bad driving, dumb AI and a buggy remaster. Skip it if you want depth or stability.
Great for
Players who want to demolish everything and switch their brain off, ideally on a discount
Main risk
Repetitive missions, bad vehicle physics and bugs or crashes (e.g. the missing-bridge softlock)
What players love
