    Hahahaha.

    The game is pretty sweet.

    I wish you could do private Free Roam games with friends-only, though. Some random people just shoot at you as you spawn and it's difficult to get away from the spawn point and into the city.

    And races are hilarious. Hahaha.

    Well, recently finished the story, and I thought it was absolutely amazing. Can't really think of any overly frustrating missions at all. Everything was exciting and I never really got annoyed once. Well, maybe on the last mission a little bit, but I still enjoyed it. :lol:

    the Multi Player is amazing on Free for all

    But one question Can you fly planes in the multi player? cause all the ones at the Airport we couldn't get in. But we could still fly the Helicopters.

    Do you need to get a Pilot's License like in San Andreas or something?

    Well, that, and I've had it since Saturday too, but yeah, this is all I've been doing since then pretty much. :lol:

    You can't fly planes in this GTA. You can only fly Helicopters.

    I can only imagine the resources that would be taken up if a half dozen planes were being controlled on the map. Hahaha.

    I mean, there's a reason Halo 3 doesn't have flame grenades in matchmaking.

    I found out how to do private Free Roam games. I feel pretty stupid for not figuring it out earlier. Simple: Custom games --> Private game setting.

    My brother was.


    I didn't get a chance to play it yesterday. It looks like fun but I'm not sure if I'm that keen on the more 'real' looking graphics.


    Apparently Bad Brains and Les Savy Fav are on the soundtrack, that's awesome.

    That's been happening a lot apparantly. Apparantly, it happens more when you're in a party too.

    I've got to say, the only thing that's really keeping me from loving this game is the new driving/cop evasion mechanics. They don't seem to work hand-in-hand. It's annoying and has caused me to turn off my system on more than one occasion out of frustration. I'll probably get the hang of it later, but it's not fun in the least right now. Other than that, the game's pretty cool. I could do without every driver in Liberty City running me over, even after they've already ran me over once or twice already, but other than those few flaws, the game's awesome so far. :D

    Played it for the 360, I am sorely disappointed. Not every single car has hydraulics and can bounce like a fuckin' castle everywhere. The hand break turning is non existent.

    I don't think it's outstanding as everyone says, I'm GTAIII all the way, best of the series.

    I've had no sleep for over 30 hours so I'm fairly tired, i'll post something more constructive later.

    First impressions: On foot the gameplay has the potential to be the best yet. I kind of like the new police system. But, I'm not keen on having to hold a button just to jog, the handling in cars isn't great and the writing seems weak.

    The one review I've read was in the official PS3 magazine. They gave it 10/10 but to be honest they would have even if it was the worst game ever.
