I got 4 stars for getting on the runway. Managed to grab a police car - Drove like a man man - Got out, ran down an alley into another car - and made a clean get away

I'm really starting to wamr to this now. There are so many little improvments that when added up make a big difference.
I am loving playing around with the action camera and hitting slow-mo

Wow! There is defo appeal in online play!
Last night I had a private party with my cousin and his mate and we basically had the run of the whole city and kept inventing games to play. The best was racing to various points. For example we'd all line up at the safehouse (northern tip of westermost island) and race to the airport by any road means (car, bike, truck). There are 3 identical helicopters in a row at the airport so we'd then fly back and land on the roof of the safehouse. You then had to grab a boat and boat it back to the airport - first back to his helipad wins. It was total comedy I can't describe how hard I laughed when all 3 of us were weaving through traffic flat out in Ferrari's and my cousin had the most epic crash sending his man clean through the windscreen where he was then minced up by the 15 odd cars that were crashing all around him

I have completed about 15% presently and have noticed that there seems to be new features such as mission endings that can go either way which I think might influence how the story pans out.
I think Michelle is an undercover cop aswell

Played about 20 hours of it so far, and without micro analysing the game in minute detail, it's definately up there with the best games I've played. LOL @ Saxo Boy's online antics!

What? Don't say I am suddenly going to find a zipper on the back of my foot and when undone my eastern european skin falls away to reveal the African-American Carl "CJ" Johnson from GTA San Andreas?

i still think the controls are clunky as ****
it never seams to play smooth, i was trying to get that achievement for doing 10 counter attacks in 4 mins
i can see the other chap go to swing a punch, i press A
nothing happens and i get a fist to the face, this happens more times then me actually dodging and doing the counter move
i think driving the vehicles around is fine, its just the pedestrian stuff that feels a bit weird, also the same old GTA problem of driving across the map to get to a mission, dieing, and having to drive halfway across the map, tailing some bloke in a car at 10mph, to redo it, even when the text message on the phone gives you "another chance" starts to get me frustrated as hell.
i have had to adjust the contrast and brightness up again in the ingame settings, going to faustins club to kill him, he runs out the back, i follow him and simply can not see where the **** he has gone as everything is to dark and black
i was surprised when i picked up the hooker, the alleyway i took her down was only wide enough for 1 car, which meant the camera was zoomed in a bit more then usual, paid for the $70 service and watched her unzip the pants, what looked like get his **** out, then ride him up and down in the car, cant remember you actually seeing anything like that in the previous games, seams a bit strange when you see nothing while banging "michelle" ?
think i have about 10 hours 30 mins playtime done now

As for michelle being a copper as posted above, i dated her twice and got bored with the whole sims crap (which you thought they'd got rid of, no more going the gym, but oh no, you gotta look after all your mates instead) and never bothered again, got told half way thru the story that she's a cop, so it was kinda pointless
According to my profile i've played over 120 games including arcade and i honestly think that many of those were better, people are afraid of going against the flow and admitting something isn't quite as expected.

to be honest, i suspected that she was as she asked a few dodgy questions, and one of the women available to date from the internet site, looks suspiciously like her but with a fuzzed out picture
i figured i was about halfway through the main game, but i have not been told this info yet, do you have to do the bruice missions ?
i was going to leave them till the end and come back for them

I've decided this game is 7 kinds of awesome. It's utterly fantastic. There is just so much in there. Loads of great touches. The controls are far far better than they used to be.
Have people been watching the TV on the safehouse? It's ****ing brillliant.
