The largest of the PS2-era entries by a distance: three cities, countryside between them, and systems the series never repeated — stat training, gang territory, vehicle variety from bikes to planes. It is also the most uneven. Mission difficulty spikes without warning, and the RPG-ish stat grind sits oddly against the pace of everything else.

New Bordeaux and its period soundtrack are exceptional, and the story handles race and its era with more seriousness than the genre usually manages. Driving feels heavy and right. The structure undercuts all of it — the same racket-clearing loop repeats across every district, and the mission variety runs out long before the map does.

Bigger and better paced than the 2013 reboot: tombs are more numerous and more elaborate, and the crafting and hunting loops give the hub areas a reason to exist. Traversal is excellent. The story is forgettable and the survival framing sits awkwardly beside a protagonist who kills dozens of people without comment.
