I do... Add me. My ID is STLJA.

I think the game is a blast, but I'm disappointed in the visuals... It must be said. The game looks very SDTV to me. And it makes me sad.

1080i... They're rather lackluster, bro.

Then again, with the size of the city and the amount of things happening... I can ignore it. They're not abysmal. I was just expecting more.

I'm loving it so far.

I avoided almost all pre-release hype down to where I watched the original trailer and that was it. So, I had no expectations and now I'm VERY glad that I did that.

The online mode (Franking) rocks so far. And I've only played like two of the modes. FWIW, gamertag is markisanerd on XBL.

As far as the single player game, I'm digging it. It was a little slow to start but now the pace is quickening and I'm starting to get into the story.

It really is a great game. I haven't tried the online yet... I think I want to finish the single player first.

Driving is a lot harder in this game. I'm used to playing Burnout, and this doesn't handle anything like Burnout.

It is. I'm having a hard time getting the hang of it. I've been playing a lot of Burnout Paradise... very different. :lol:

What do you think about the visuals?

They are pretty good, but not amazing. A huge improvement over the old games, obviously... but what I mean is that the old games looked pretty bad compared to most games of the day, and this actually holds up pretty well.

There are a lot of graphical bugs though. Weird flicker problems and pop-in.

I hate the characters. I'm cheating with the game guide killing flying rats. 19/200 :? I'm trying to familiarize myself with the map.

I'm trying to get the first couple dozen missions done so I have some money and places on the map where I can visit.

Is it just me or is GTA4 very much harder to play than the last ones? The cars are harder to control, at least. But it's fun.

I haven't gotten that far, yet. It's just too much fun crashing in to things, getting into gunfights and crazy car chases with the cops and so on... I can't be bothered with the missions!

I just killed some guy for Mr Faustin, Dimitri didn't want me to, but I did it anyway. That's where I am, right now.
