I have it, it's incredible. I just wish I knew how to hail a cab, I feel like such an amateur and I'm never an amateur with GTA games!

[Sod_James]

When I went round the shops at unchtime most people seemed to be buying the Xbox version.

[Stu]

The Xbox version was outselling the PS3 version on a 4:1 ratio in Zaavi according to the guy at the counter. I got it for 70 euros then heard from a mate he got it at the now sold out tesco for an ungodly 40 euro , which is a lot less when converted to pounds.

So if anybody out their has not got it yet - supermarkets are the way to go.

Just getting used to the driving in it now. Very different at first. The cars bounce and **** around alot more , and yet its also more realistic.

Also , cars dont catch on fire now when tipped over , which was one of the most annoying things ever in past games.

[Instead this time , just shoot the underneath and blow it yourself ]

I wont be getting it till the weekend.

It takes a bit of getting used to but this game is amazing, so much more realistic that the previous GTA games. I'm not doing any missions until I have had a few hours of messing about basically killing people and getting used to game.

My only complaint with the game is that some of the prior games whacky charm seems lost in all the realism.

I know this is going to be the one of the all time greats , but I still think at the end of the day I will favour San Andreas , with its insane characters and all the extra fun stuff , over this.

Not at all , the action is virtualy the same. The story however , is much more down to earth. Theirs still all the fantastic satire on radios and billboards , but you wont be jacking any experimental jetpacks this time around - lets put it that way.

I see.

I'm surprised there haven't been any ads on TV. Well, I haven't seen any.

Yep.

They had Keith Vaz on Sky News this morning. His main argument was that the pullout advertising the game in newspapers did not have a large enough sized 18's logo. What a tosser.

[GiRTh]

He IS a tosser. Whats the name of the American politician who always tries to get Rockstar games banned? It'll come to me in a minute.

EDIT: JAak Thompson. Now he's a tosspot.

At least Keith Vaz is a respected , if incompetent , politician and human being.

Jack Thompson is...crazy. Thats not a joke. He is actualy insane. Youtube or wikipedia him.

[GiRTh]

I know he's crazy. He makes me laugh.

I was in Game and the guy said the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions were selling equally, with the PS3 seeling out first. I would have thought the 360 version would sell better...

As for the game, it's amazing. The first thing you realise is how realistic it is. The driving forces you to be much more skillful, no taking corners and high speed and expecting not to crash.

I agree that because of the realism, the tongue in cheek charm seems to have been sacrificed. However, I felt this way when I first played San Aandreas for a coupleof hours. After you get used to the atmosphere of the game and the story developed it got a lot funnier, as I hope this one will too.
