    Yeah it looks savage. I really like the idea of a Russian guy who just arrives in Liberty City having to build his way up to the top. I'm so glad that they ditched the hip-hop nonsense of San Andreas.

    I used to be a big GTA fan but im not holding my breath on this one. I dont really see what they can do to bring something new to it.

    i hear ye faceman, think just to be able to play the game with the 360 graphics will be pretty tasty..

    no doubt there'll be some nice new features though..i kinda liked the fact that in San Andreas you could work out and get muscles or eat and get fat..lol

    I take what your saying about the graphics but ultimately its the gameplay that counts. If the game is released and is no different than San Andreas then no matter how good it looks, i wont pick it up.

    I still play paradroid on the C64, now theres gameplay! ;)

    I heard they got rid of that element for the new game.

    Mostly all the missions are the same in GTA games, it is really driven by the story and so far this story is really grabbing my interest.

    Paradroid for teh w1n.

    Seriously good gameplay!


    I never really got into the GTA series as such, the combat system in one (pre-SA I think) was so poor it put me off the series entirely. The blaxploitation release seemed uninteresting to me (though I am reliably informed it was awesome as a game and very open ended).

    I'll probably play the Xbox next version simply to see what they fuss is about and spooooge about the graphics.

    DeV.
