The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of depth and repetitiveness, with players noting that missions feel monotonous and largely consist of driving from point A to point B. Initial cutscenes provide some narrative context, but after that, the missions lack variety and engagement, leading to a sense of aimlessness. Overall, the game offers limited storytelling, with missions that quickly become tedious and a world that feels underexplored.
- “Some missions are there only once and appear to be gone forever even if you didn't select it.”
- “New missions open up as you complete others across the map.”
- “While there is a sentence or two to give a mission a sense of uniqueness, they're basically all the same and repetitive.”
- “Besides the initial bunch of cut scenes, there doesn't appear to be any more story.”
- “A driving game in which you drive from point A to point B in repetitive missions.”
- “If some of these bugs are looked at and reviewed, then I'm sure there will be better things overall; maybe missions walking around, more car edits, and things to interact with. Overall, it's just driving back and forth, which can get a little boring.”
