So ya I'm a complete nerd and got the game at midnight.. so far it's pretty fun. The controls from the car are very hard to get used to and I'm still having trouble with it. Definitely doesn't play the way old GTA titles used to.. but that's not really a bad thing. Graphics are pretty damn sweet and so far somewhat interesting story line. I still haven't got a gun, not as easy (unless you go after cops) to pick one up as in old titles (or I just don't know where to look yet). Map is huge and I really get lost, no idea where I'm going 99% of the time.. Otherwise... seems like it will be a fun game.
