Yes! One of my favourite childhood games right here. I remember those good days of watching my brother play this in the early 2000s, and my six-year old self playing it after watching Hey Arnold!. Why aren't times like that now? JAGUAR 19:59, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Initial comments

"and the first main entry since 1999's Grand Theft Auto 2" - how about losing the "1999" and changing this to and the first main entry since Grand Theft Auto 2 (feel free to ignore, but I felt a small cut made the sentence flow better)
"Development was shared between DMA Design in Edinburgh" - link Edinburgh
"However, the game also generated controversy, with criticism directed at the game's depiction of violence and sexual content" - too many 'games' in one sentence, I would recommend cutting the one highlighted
"Should players take damage, their health meter can be fully regenerated through the use of health pickups" - pick-ups (hyphenated in British English)
"The game lets players control the mute criminal Claude" - link muteness
"He is a silent protagonist, never uttering a word throughout his appearances" - bit informal
"GamePro's Four-Eyed Dragon found the cars simple to maneuver" - manoeuvre
"the game had been subject to a great deal of controversy" - sounds unencyclopaedic
"a modified version was re-released with an MA15+ classification in January 2015, removing all instances of sexual acts with prostitutes" - curious, this new release has to be a mobile version? Could be explained here
"Producer Dan Houser stated that the team was conscious of the offense that the game would attract" - offence
No dead links or linkrot. Impressive!
No dab links

Excellent article. It's well written and very comprehensive, near FA quality if I'm honest. On hold until all are addressed. JAGUAR 16:22, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
