Got the special edition for $100 (with taxes)
All is good, but the art book is a bit too thin, and the soundtrack CD sux. I expected lot more songs.
The game manual is a peace of Sh*it compared to Vice City manual, and the radio music so far is alright, but nowhere as good as on Vice City. Also the game seems a bit too dark, or does it happen at night at the very beginning.
Plus the online on PS3 does not work at the moment.
SO far, I am disappointed, even though the pool, a tetris like game, and bowling were pretty fun.

Hasta la vista, baby!

How much smarter are police in this game? Do they chase you down for speeding or blowing red lights?
|
No, however they do chase others, and i don't mean like in San Andreas where you ram a car behind police to make said car hit police, and then get arrested... Well.. Shot at. You can also avoid being arrested when approached by police, tapping a button will make you break out of "bust" and they will shoot at you, but you can get away.
They will also randomly blow the siren at you if you come close to hitting them or run the odd light while they're there. Probably to make you slow down, but would you anyway?
This is America people, running red lights and speeding is natural to your country.
The AI is dramatically improved though. The cars don't follow particular paths layed out on the road, as if they're not cars but trains following a track. They have collision detection, and if they find a gap between cars they'll cut though it nicely. One thing they don't have though is they tend to ignore you, stopping behind you, and then getting impatient and attempting to overtake you, while you're waiting at a red light behind this other car. They'd overtake me, and attempt to pull in in front of me, but then realize that there's a car already there, and stop in the oncoming lane.
Yes, the intro is dark, based at night time. One thing that got me though is the change of time, because if you look back in the trailers, it was day when he walked off the ship.
For some cars, handling as decreased. Your car rocks more when you turn corners it's as if you weren't on road, but on sea, in gale 5 storms. Some cars are quite good at handling, firm suspension, etc. Cars speed and performence will degrade somewhat based on the passenger count, which is also quite interesing. Car models are based from todays world, IE: Partirot = Hummer V2, Banshee = Dodge Viper, Comet = Porche, etc etc, and are quite decently modeled. Damage is just that, your car won't explode if it's not upside-down, etc, and if you hit someone somewhere, you take damage there. Srape alongside the wall? You are missing paint from your door, etc. If you crash into a wall, you leave a mark, impact mark, same with other vehicles if they crash into a wall too.
One of the best things is the lights are dynamic, not just models with textures attached to them. You can alter the brightness of lights too, from highbeam to lowbeam, or if they're already off, you can turn them on.
All in all, it's a generally good game. I haven't tried Multiplayer yet though, so i can't confirm that, but it's quite good.

Yes, but will also be waiting for PC version.
AND I CAN'T FUCKIN WAIT!!!
If it never makes it to PC (which would be a travesty), I'll buy it for 360 and play it at one of my friend's houses.

If you don't want EA to get any credit, destroy their Refinery. Duh.

I voted the third option! I have no intention of ever buying any of the GTA games. From what I've seen you just run around in different vehicles and commit random acts of violence and so on. 
There are no good games like System Shock nowadays.
|
mhm... good point good games are rare now. But there are some great that will come. I hope for Spore, for Mafia II, GTA and Deus Ex3. GTA IV seems to be also great.
I really like the GTA games.
First the briefings, the charackters are great! The missions are quite funny. And the City. The advertising, the news, the radio, everything is a good spoof of real life. I spent the first weekend after buying GTA III mostly with exploring the city.
Thanks.
