"no loading screens to be found except for when transitioning to the indoors or when activating missions at a key point"

I like.

After first being convinced this game would be ruined, I'm kinda looking forward to it now...

EDIT: Now it makes a bit more sense...

AfroJoe, will you be going to CA Games to pick this up? Are you even getting it?

Noooo, truly disappointed, I expected nothing less than ten. It's off my Christmas list now, I'm sooooo hurt.

9.9 is too high for any game really.

What Tiltawhirl said - more of the same, but bigger and a bit smoother.

Convinced me.

Why? You didn't have to find all of them, just that if you did then you'd get guns at your base which you could stock up on which was easier than finding them hidden around the game.

I think that statement applies to all people who play games, you and me included :)

The collectables on previous games were just a big fat pain in the ass.

Anyone who actually went to the trouble of finding all those hidden packages should really get out more, it wasn't even like finding them was in the slightest bit enjoyable.

Games don't get 9.6 on Gamespot without being special, nore do they get a 10 for value without a hell of a lot depth.

Then there are all the special jumps, graffiti sections, collectables, bikes and the like. I can't wait.

When you think that the previous games had around 70 missions each and they're said to be 1/5 of the size, to me that signals a lot of areas with jack all to do in them.

Hopefully I'm wrong though.

The combine harvester sounds like a lot of fun!
