I love this game. It's a simple shooter, no philosophy or strange goals, just killem, killem good. My highest body count has been 2512. I put in about an hour a day slaughtering whatever gets in my way. Does this mean I ready to go bonkers, no I don't even kill flys. It's just a way to let off steam without hurting anyone. I've never played GTA but I assume this is a simpler version of the game as it lets you do what you want. I'm on my 5th or 6th run through of the game and I'm still not bored. If you just want to shoot stuff, this is the way to go.
