my only gripe is that the cars handle like shit. they seem far too mushy with their controls for me, and when I hit the brakes it just makes me skid 40 yards into the other side of the street, most times taking out the stoplight. so far the best part has been getting a hold of a FBI Buffalo, bringing up the cars police computer, going to "Most Wanted", finding suspects, tracking them and killing them. haha.

I use the hand brake most of the time, seems to be easier to control than the other one.

I find tapping the accelerator + brake does the job.. some cars are worse than others
- yeah that works better but some are just so sloppy i have to get out and rob another guy cause i can't stand it. haha.kona
- I love when Niko kicks in the car door window to rob it.. haha!rough
- The Sentinel is great for handling, as are the Hummer-esque SUVs.5timuli
- yeah rough! hahah! the first time he did that i got a pretty good kick out of it. (no pun intended)kona

It's a lot of fun aiming your weapon through a car windshield stopped at a red light, making them get out of the car with their hands up before you shoot them in the face and steal their car.
Oh, and watch some TV, preferably the Weazel channel, right after the Republican Space Rangers cartoon - it's fuggin hilarious!
- yeah i was watching tv in the safe house last night. soooo good.kona
- haven't bothered with the t.v. but I will now.OnesandZeros
- TV is funny, but seems a waste of time, watching tv thru a computer game!? Best thing is the fire engine. Fire the hose at people and start a rumbleRincks

My sisters were horrified by the things you could do in this game. I was like, "told you so".
- like what??e-pill
- And were they like 'nuh-uh!'?
And were you like 'uh-huh!'
And were they like 'Noooo!'?
And were you like 'Yeah!'?detritus - Damn you, epillius.detritus
- Getting a handjob from a hooker is the funniest.5timuli
- what do you mean, "like what?"
pretty much everything you can't get away with in real lifeJaline - Especially if Niko says 'well, this is awkward" :D5timuli
- Primarily b/c we know many parents don't care about let kids younger than 10 play this game (I have experience).Jaline
- *lettingJaline
- well, Jaline, i live in nyc and a lot of what we see in the game is all possible here.e-pill
- so to me i dont see "like what" just some of the examples. glad u got a PS3.e-pill
- oi i hate the notes and that you cant see it all.e-pill
- I'm glad too.Jaline

has anyone made it onto the 'Manhattan' island yet?
- Yup, you should check out the comedy club and see Katt Williams perform.King_Czarkon
- I've opened all three islands. It's cool. you should check out the stuff Alderney has. Great industrial area and some abandoned ships and warehouses to the west of the map.differenz

you can see all the islands if you play a Live "Ranked" game and build your levels and get to see all of NYC!!!

something i always wondered....
Police Officers [real life] do they play GTA??
do they kill cops?? steal cars?? have sex with prostitutes?? kill them after?? beat random people up for kicks?? i see cops all the time and each time i wonder these things, does it effect their real time real life judgement calls?? do they talk about it near their water cooler??do you guys ever wonder this??
- good question. if I were a cop (which, after the police academy movies, i wanted to be one) I would still do all the heinous acts i could in the game.OnesandZeros
- i could in the game.OnesandZeros
- I would say 100% yes, although I'd say the probably do a lot of the vigilante missions. haRincks
- cops love gta iv
its a game that models their real life in a waybliznutty

*** SPOILER ALERT ***
So ... who killed dmitri?
I let the bastard live and now he's causing me grief.- you should probably post spoilers over here.... kinda sucks just reading the thread and seeing this.OnesandZeros
- Very true. sorry.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll do that in future.Gucci - that dude needed to die though.OnesandZeros
- agreed. I'm going to have to cycle through the game again and switch up some of my choices.Gucci

I'm pretty sure there are religious leaders that play GTA IV and fuk hoes and shoot cops.
got the game last week, just reached 50% completion...still disturbingly addicting.

as far as "effecting real life judgement calls"...dude, speaking for myself and a co-worker, TOTALLY! We were walking to lunch and saw this sweet sliver porche and almost stole it.
- yea... every time i see a real life cop car i feel like stealing it and joy riding with my 1 star wanted level.OnesandZeros
- OnesandZeros0
i've still only had a 5 star wanted level and i've only ever gotten away after a 3 star.
every time i find an armored car I go on a rampage.

Am I the only person who thinks the cars handle great? It takes a bit more getting used to compared to earlier versions but the improved physics are much better.
- I don't mind them, learning to use the ebrake is a must.joyride
- i love the way they handleOnesandZeros

bikes handle great on it, i need to get used to it.
