Because calling it that way could be pretty riskyin regards to copyright laws. But I get what you mean. :-D
Although the game is not as complex as GTA can be, it's certainly on the right track.
I have evaluated it only briefly so far as my only remaining earphones are currently broken in the annoying way that only the right one plays audio, so I'll need to get new and better ones in the next few days. I'm not yet sure if I'm going to buy it or not but nevertheless I have to say it's pretty interesting and fascinating in a way as I dare to say it's the first of its kind among audiogames.
As for RPG, there seem to be more or less only the party management and character buildup factors rather than exploration and stuff, but still it's an interesting combination of an action game/shooter, strategy game and adventure. Even the non-realtime part where you manage your gang and do not engage in direct real-time battles does feature the concept of virtual game time, so that's also pretty cool.
I also appreciated the NPC AI features that I could experience so far. Reminds me of the way it has been done in Perilous Hearts, and as far as I can tell, no other audiogame has done anything this complex or even more so before. I like how the enemies sometimes decide to get out of your weapon's range quickly, wait for a while so that you lose track of their current exact position and then attack you quickly and stealthily, or how some of them decide to try to get as far away from you as possible, begging you not to hurt them any more. :-D
I haven't unfortunately been able to get any other characters to join me yet as I was killed during my first attempt to rescue someone from the prison. :-D
I loved the various character voice clips. I think I didn't get even a single one to repeat for the same situation yet. wonder if the game tries to keep track of what has been said in what situation during the current session and only allows for clips to be repeated if all the available ones for the given circumstances have already been used, or if I've just simply played it for such a short period of time and there are so many of them that such a coincidence couldn't occur yet.
I also wonder how epic the more difficult stages, with higher-leveled gang members, and the more dangerous and cool weapons sound. :-)
And who knows, its also perfectly possible that I haven't yet been able to encounter some of the game's elements that can only occur in the full version or only when a certain combination of circumstances is met.
Keep up the great work! I'll be looking forward to any possible collaborative endeavours that you might decide to accomplish in the future. :-)
