Got my copy. Freaking finally. Now for the first thoughts. I guess the bashing has been done to hell by people all across the globe so I'll leave that part out. I just played the game for an hour & boy it's extremely fun. Probably the only GTA game that I'm really enjoying. What makes this game so different is the humor attached with the character. It's so freaking funny, you just can't help but laugh your ass off to their witty dialogues. I just completed going out on a date with Michelle & deserted Roman who was being beaten up by his loan sharks.
Had to pick him up from Hospital later on & also apologised for it. No sweat!
If only Cockstar would crease out all the frame rates issues this game would really be a treat to play. But whatever the reviews may be the game is worth a try. Pick up your copies ASAP & wait for the patch. All I can say for now.
