Jive turkeys all talkin' about blu-ray. My classic 1985 TV makes sweet love to the analog signal, but you couldn't pay it to even acknowledge those cocky digital newcomers. There's going to be a lo-def 360 frag fest coming to a living room near me soon.

See you other 360 freaks in Liberty City!

I played for a few hours last night. No online play, but regular storyline and was extremely impressed. The graphics are amazing and load time is surprisingly slow. Have fun playing.

i agree that the controls take some getting used to, but this is the first gta i have really gotten into so maybe that is why

there is no way that this game could live up to the hype, but the little that i played it yesterday i think it will come close

the physics are killer. the first time that i slammed into a wall at full speed only to fly out of the windshield...i was grinning from ear to ear :mrgreen:

Played for about an hour last night. It is a good game, but I'm not having fun yet. I still need to get used to the controls. I'm too used to playing Vice City on the PSP.

I don't know, I am really digging it. Once you get used to the driving controls its fine. I will agree though that the first few missions were slow, but it's starting to pick up now.

I started having fun with this yesterday. The physics are very accurate. The cops are tough. Everything is super detailed. The dialog is very good. The missions are starting to pick up. Now, if I could just stop getting out of the car on a wild turn when I just want to pull the hand brake. :-)

You can change the controls to the classic setup, but i ended up switching back to the new controls.

Nope. But I did find the go-go. Had a few private dances. Then bumped into the wrong guy. Got into a fight. Had to shoot the bouncers. They called the cops. Then I got killed. :lol:

Sounds about right. The drunk feature is rad and the cops do seem tougher.

I LOVE this game. The depth and thought put into everything you do is unmatched in video games. You'd have to sit with this game a long time before you saw, heard and felt everything.

The GPS and cab systems are cool although they can take away from actually exploring the city, which is an amazingly large place. I was lost the other day and was just walking through some miscellaneous dark alley and there was trash blowing around and different graffiti on the walls. I stopped by the comedy club and watched Katt Williams' set which was pretty funny.

I could go on and on because there are so many good things going on in this game. Since there doesn't seem to be any progression(increasing stamina, driving skills or weapons skills), this GTA is the easiest one to play out of the box.

Since I don't play constantly, this game should keep me occupied for quite some time.

Oh yeah, I haven't felt the need to try any of these, but here they are, known 360 cheats(more will probably surface in time):

I am looking forward to the industrial wasteland of Alderney city. I wonder if my hood is in the game.
