Le système de progression de CJ, muscu, bouffe, compétences d'armes, ça donnait un vrai sentiment d'incarner un personnage qui évolue.

Wait, this needs way more love in the rankings honestly, every duel I see it should be climbing faster than it does!

On refait ce débat depuis des années et il reste toujours aussi bon, alors j'imagine que ça répond à la question.
ComboLegend
Dix-huitième, sérieusement ? Je le mettrais bien plus haut, mais bon, je dis ça alors que j'ai passé plus de temps à sauter en parachute qu'à suivre l'histoire.
Pixel_Poirier
Perso c'est l'histoire qui m'a tenu, le parachute c'était juste la récré entre deux missions.

Más que el juego, lo que no entiendo es por qué siempre acaba comparado con Vice City y nunca con algo más reciente.
Faivre4
Le parachute (moi aussi j'y ai passé des heures) c'est révélateur en fait, le jeu laisse le joueur faire n'importe quoi et c'est peut-être ça qui manque au classement.

On se relayait avec mon frère sur le canapé, chacun son tour de vingt minutes chrono sinon ça finissait en dispute. J'avais treize ou quatorze ans, je ne sais plus trop, mais je me souviens de cette carte qui semblait infinie à l'époque.

Ma sœur avait fait toute la partie moto sans les mains, littéralement, elle posait la manette sur ses genoux pour rigoler devant moi, et pourtant elle finissait les courses.

Yo también lo rejugué hace poco y la parte de la campiña, esa que todos odian, a mí me pareció que le daba respiro al ritmo, respiro que ahora se echa de menos.

Les collisions vieillissent mal, les chargements aussi, mais la physique des véhicules tient encore la comparaison avec des jeux récents.
