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)

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)
