Oh yes, one of the best GTA. Everything about it is perfect: it’s one of those games that you periodically return to, play through again and again, because it’s truly an icon.
The game is already more than a classic, for many of us it is pure nostalgia, just like the helicopter mission. You may not believe me, but now not all current gamers have gone through this hell. But once upon a time you were the coolest if you knew how to do this (I myself completed this mission for friends a couple of times for beer)
In short, there’s no point in breaking down the game into its components, talking about graphics, physics, plot and so on. It was GTA, the real one, it was a stage in life, a period in the history of each of us. Everyone played it or at least saw it, they put mods on it, patched it, broke money, did a bunch of different manipulations with it. Someone made homemade addons that didn't work at all. We all did something with her and she is forever in our hearts.
