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.”
