OK I've been playing this game for a good 12 hours now and I am amazed, The first of 3 maps I am on is bigger than GTA3 and GTAVC put together, it's too damn easy to get lost in.
Getting to the locked maps isn't hard once you build up your character so he can swim long distances (stamina) but when you get to the other map you get an automatic 4 star ratting and are barraged with bullets.
The amount of cars in the game is astonishing and you will find some classic ones from Vice City in the game along with new ones. The game takes place in the Early 90's starts in 91, they talk about the election on the radio (Clinton's 1st term).
The Missions in the game are aplenty and very different but I am stuck on this damn one where you have to impress a chick with your dance moves to get into her van and it's a fucking Dance Dance Revolution knock off. The story line isn't linear exactly either which is really nice.
Developing your character is a huge! part of the game play when you start you are a scrauny little guy and you can choose to get nice and fat or Ripped and full of stamina, but you have to remember to eat or your stats will drop. you even have to dress certain ways at certain points. At first I had a pot belly guy in a wife beater but now his muscle and stamina stats are at max and he can run fast for really long distances, and is pretty damn strong and quick when fighting. you even have to get apropriate hair cuts and tatoos to match your style to gain "Sex appeal" stats.
I forsee a lot of hours spent on this game and my grades starting to slip slightly.
I can't begin to describe how awesome this game is!
I am going to be in game overload! Shellshock, THUG2, Conflict Vietnam, GTA:SA, Halo 2, GT4 (did I miss any?)

Our priority truck broke down for work and they actually rented an Enterprise Truck to deliver the games overnight so they would be there on time. And there are still places that don't have it yet.

The game is amazing.. I just got 1 problem with it.. .. I have to go back all the way to home to save the game and it's a really long way.. Why can't I just hit start save and continue.. :cry: .. But other than that.. I'm enjoying every bit of it...

It was the same with the other games, they had safe houses to save at and it's the same here you can buy other homes if you have the cash.

Way better and more realistic that way!

Saving and loading isn't very realistic at all if you think about it..

Ok, so the best solution is to remove them so we would need to play 24/7 for some weeks to finish the game (not that GTA has a real ending afteall )
