I've only done 30% of GTA IV but not sure I will go back to it after playing this.

Oh and anyone else using the ipad app? The zoomable map is very good.
You can base jump off that mountain (from the cable car building). So much stuff to do and discover.

Damn I never saw the parachute as I was looking for it but came across the dirt bikes so took one of them down the mountain.

Yeah and you can use a motorbike to jump off the mountain then deploy the chute.

My next step is to try and get a car up the mountain and jump off in that.
