Just pick it up and play. The story is based around 3x new characters so no need to have played any of the others

Pick up and play. The storylines are unrelated to the last game (GTA 3, GTA IV etc) so it's not like Assassins Creed or Call of Duty Modern Warefare.

Not bad, the map is HUGE!

I've just killed someone, picked their body up with a forklift and dropped it in a lake .. just because I can

I also shot someone and hid behind a wall .. the Police walked around looking for me .. when they walked past the wall one shouted "there he is" and chased me .. crazy.

You wont be able to do much modding... I see your money is only in the 4-digit region

I don't think I've ever been pulled into a story as much as this game before. Anyway, once you start doing bigger missions as you advance through the game, you'll earn big monie so don't worry about it just yet

Everything you wanted 4 to do, have or be

For example, a wheel spin will result in the tyres bursting ..

Driving is much better, the brakes work ..

Annoyingly realistic, cars explode on big jumps if you land face first, if you go through the window in a crash, you die and the police can shoot you dead in one shot ..

Thanks Pimmo, also the car modding looks great. What I don't like about iv is it being 100% city based and this looks more like San Andreas which appeals a lot to me.

What Pimmo said, and the character control isn't wonky as hell.

Only had a few hours on it, as the w**king malarkey keeps getting it the way, but, I have to say it's fooking great.

No sign of CJ in Grove Street, though, just ***** that keep shooting me.
