    Has anyone checked to see if you can get "America's next top hooker" as a real life ringtone? :D

    I don't think you can.
    I bought a theme and didn't like it. I bought one of the ringtones but forget which one it is. Not much different from the main one I think.

    Hey mca47!, I added you to my ps network tonight.. too tired to play now, but we'll have to soon. I suck at Call of Duty, so maybe we'll have to do some gta4 free mode some time.. I played that the other day for like 4 hours.. I spent like 2 hours trying to figure out how to take a sniper out from his tower.. lol.

    Yeah, COD takes a little "getting used to". Once you do it's a blast!

    Have you tried Cops and Crooks yet on GTA? That's my favorite.

    I did have two turismos at the safehouse in bohan but people kept running into them and eventually they were gone.

    I flew under all 14 main bridges with it. One was quite tight. The rotors dinged the bridge and the heli's legs were in the drink...

    I've never been very good at flying helis in GTA games. Planes were a different story (except that goddamn radio controlled plane), I could fly them great...too bad there aren't any in the new one. Oh well. Can't wait to crash me some helicopters! :D

    Didn't take much to master at all :)
    Not much use for it though, because more often then not if you're just using it for transportation you'll end up losing it at some point.
    Although I did find one in story mode on the docks in Normandy.

    Played 3 Leaf Clover today. Was doing fine til I took cover at a wall to look round the corner, triggering a load of cops to step round the corner and blast me in the back with a shotgun!

    Grenades are your friend on that one. Well,...if you can throw them right.
    I'm always blowing myself up with those damn things! :D

    So far, my favorite mission is the bank robbery, simply wicked. Just like the movie Heat. I love being able to store cheat codes in the cell phone. Just call ZIT for the name of the Phil Collins song.

    And you're not leaving here without me, I don't wanna be without

    The beginning of this story is really boring. Same old shit from the old ones. Drive someone to a place, chase this car, beat up people and collect money. Please tell me it gets more exciting than this.

    It has those kind of generic missions interspersed with some totally different jobs. It's worth sticking with for sure. Okay, some of it is more of the same, but using taxis really speeds up the process so its less tedious. The characters are always a lot more well developed than previous games. All the guys who give you jobs refer to each other and it feels much more of a network than before.

    I'm assuming GTA4 is bigger (more expansive in area) than San Andreas?
    Is anybody almost done with the game?
    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)

    No, it's smaller, about the same size of Vice City. They've avoided having big spaces of nothingness. It doesn't need to be a bigger area, and it never really feels very small unless you're flying around (personally I HATE the helicopters so never fly).

    Lots of people have completed it. It's a lot easier than the past 3 GTAs. partly because the gameplay works a lot better (especially the cover and aiming systems) so there are less mistakes due to bugs. The use of taxis cuts down the travelling time within missions, and it's nice to travel around town without having to jack a car. Plus it's less fun to be chased by the cops for various reasons, so there's less time wasting between missions. I haven't completed any of the previous GTAs even though Ive played each of them for 20-30 hours. This one I'm about 3 quarters of the way through in 2 weeks of gameplay, between revision.

    I'd say it's bigger than any of the previous citys personally, obviously not as big as SA as a whole, but easily the size of Los Santos and San Fiero combined.

    Yeah, I'd agree. It's much bigger than Vice City, but nowhere near the size of San Andreas.
    That said, there is much more packed into GTA4 than the others.

    I cannot imagine this game without taxis! That is one nice feature!!

    Without using taxis the game is twice as long!
