I kinda like this GTA more than the others.But it has some problems that could be fixed in a patch and some things we would like to see.

Personally I want all those little things that kept me play San Andreas.

I got GTA. I found it cool that Niko is talking a non-Russian slovak language because I can understand him; it adds a bit to the story.

The only aspect I don't like as much is the driving. They've added some really really kickass stuff for it. However, they all feel slow and heavy. I'd also prefer screaming arond corners (not so much like the old gta's but a mix between this and old ones) compared to trying to turn but understeering by far...

I'd like to see gameplay videos to see if it is possible to drive really well though.

Impossible to turn without braking.

If I didn't mention it, I always do. What I mean is turning with some speed. Not 2km an hour corners on normal brakes, and crazy spinouts from ebraking.

I noticed that every single time I drive a nice car, pedestrians drive the same car, and if I find a crappy car, then pedestrians drive that same crappy car as well.

I love the banshee, it reminds me of the GTA3 banshee.

thats how it was in all of the GTAs, until you got into the unique cars. (SA's Phoenix, Euros, hotknife, etc. )

I've noticed that the car set seems to change by days. Like, some days you'll have a lot of, trucks, others SUVs, and then you have to wait for motorcycle days to rotate out. Like sometimes you'll get Speed-Bikes, others Dirt-bikes, and others more traditional motorcycles. The Banshee only appears like once every week, and only 3 of them show up it seems like.

It appears you have a degree in GTA Car Statistics and Anaylsis. Useful? Probably not. >_>

Why would you even post that? :| People were discussing it above, so I was simply adding to the conversation.

I don't see what the big hype is over this game it isn't that good. The only worth wile thing is playing free mode and blowing stuff up thats it. other than that there is no point to playing the game the campaign sucks.

Yeah, I don't find it that fun. I'll take mass effect over it any day. The single player takes for ever to get going, the vehicle controls BLOW, the gun play is mediocre at best and the targeting system is sluggish. I don't see how it earned a 10/10 I would give it a 7.2 at best.

If I'm thinking of the right song, it's played in one of the trailers for GTA IV and I've also heard it on one of the radio stations. Don't know the name of it though.
