### 4/5 — Good game

*2026-08-10*

I think this game just needs some updates rather than graphic changes should be different camera angles like first person you should be able to swim and go underwater also please add in ability to bail out of cars wonder moving and adding motorcycles I might be asking for a lot, but I know they can do it. Also add in the katana and please make the game more glory. If I reckon to somebody at high speed I won’t wear arms to come off or legs and add hammers in katanas and you can chop off peoples arms and head with katanas thank you if you are reading this love it
