There's also DLC where you get a Plasma Energy Manipulator

You don't just walk into demolishing buildings. You needs minutes of training, seen here as I destroy some cinder blocks with my sledgehammer and then drive a vehicle into a wall. The game tells me that's ok, but it's the less graceful way of demolishing something, best to use the tools instead.
First day on the job, sledgehammer in hand. Just need to knock out some walls, but there's also the added bonus of LOOT. Scrap metal has been carelessly left around this abandoned building and if I bring it back I get more money.
Luckily, if you're really unsure of what that giant X means, the game helps out by highlighting the walls you need to destroy in bright green.
My next task was to destroy a small room on top of the building, and I would get penalised for any rubble that fell down. Oh, and if I fell off the top of this 5 story building it wouldn't hurt. It would just cost me time to run back up to the top. Here I am jackhammering the walls away.
Here I am on my second day on the job, with the task of destroying this abandoned Police Station.

Special bonus in-car view that puts GT5 to shame
Fourth day on the job and the fun starts. I've bought some explosives, and I can plant three before detonating it.
So with all my money, I'm now able to buy more explosions and vehicles... if I grind my cash and XP by doing more missions.
Possible sleeper GOTY here. Will need to play some more and get into some of the more exotic vehicles and unlock the bigger explosive devices. I will definitely be gifting this to someone at the end of the sale to continue the infection Iron Roses style.
