got it at morning. great game, but haven't really seen anything new yet. More details and better graphics etc. which is nice, but still kind of the same old gta.
Still the best game in a long time.

Better storyline ...
More involving characters ...
Multi-tiered mobile phone system ...
Taxi rides ...
More chances to choose between right & wrong ... literally ...
More and better mini-games ...

mini games? i love the graphics so far and the weapons too.

Well yea, but those are just little details. Actually i never followed the story in previous gtas, just skipped everything and then shooted everyone and made missions etc. :| So far the storyline seems to be ok.
Meh maybe you can't really change a franchise much from the original. (don't fix it if it's not broken etc.) Except when you go from 2d to 3d or something.
Still feels like "i've seen this before in gta3 many years ago". Actually that happens with alot of series nowadays(mario games, zeldas etc.), maybe I'm just getting old.
Don't get me wrong, i'm a big fan of gta series and the latest adaption is a really awesome game and it's most likely getting better after every playtime.

EDIT: one thing that the game would have really needed imo: text chat for multiplayer. And maybe servers that are online : p

 

[Bob Evil]

You really should get involved with the storyline ... there are some big choices to make in this one ...

 

[Awdofgum]

A lot of my friends don't do the story mode, but I find that they all miss out because the story mode is really fun, especially when you don't use cheats.

The graphics is okay, but I don't think it deserves 10/10. Reviewers just wanted to pump up the scores so they can win the readers by giving their favorite game a high score like overall 10/10.

PS3 version running at native 630P doesn't bother me, good effects > native resolution. For example, Halo 3 runs at native 640P but looks better than many native 720P FPS games.
(Just in case some people are confused, "runs at xxxP" usually refers to native resolution, not actual output resolution. Actual output resolution would be upscaled/downscaled to fit SD/HD/FHD)

I have a 60GB, so I'll get the 360 version just to be on the safe side. (In fact, I already sort of got it unofficially) I bought my PS3 pretty late so I think it won't freeze on mine, but 360 version is cheaper anyway =/
DLC doesn't mean jack to me if it's gonna come out in fall, I'd be busy playing star wars by then.

So wanting a PS3 for this. I'm not a massive fan of GTA, but the online mode looks pretty cool and this game actually looks decent with the new fighting system, etc.

What do you think most people will be playing it on? 360 or PS3?

 

[Bob Evil]

360 ... cos the 360 is getting the extra content as downloads, whereas PS3 owners wont be getting the extra content until it's released on a disc, next year.
