Up to here, nice improvements (and size wise, very impressive, I admit).

Utterly useless.

It does look impressive, but it's got nothing so stunningly new that it warrants any new reaction from me but 'yay, yet more inane shooting, yet this time, with TARGETING!'

I realise i'm in a minority - but please, I laugh at you mocking Halo 2 for having only dual wielding (I agree, Halo 2 has little in the way of new features, rather new graphics/size/weapons/Live etc) and then 'jizzuming', as you put it, about parachuting!!!!11

Cheers mate. Off to uni now for some fun drawing lessons, hopefully GTA will be waiting for me when I get back :D

Sorry mate, just seen this now. Was watching the footie all last night.

The file is 169mb in Quick Time format although I am sure the 680 x 420 release will be a hell of a lot bigger. The review is around 15-16 minutes long.

Got your email as well, dropped a reply in there and will send it you tonight.

I've sent you an email about the vid mate.

I can't seen to sign up to gmail as it's only a beta, how big is the small video Ali?

There's a 2 player mode? Interesting >=D

Can I see the video?

Aside from the fact the game is bigger, the story is better, the combat is now a hell of a lot better, more refined stealth engine, the ability to swim, parachute and do a host of other new stuff. The cars handle a hell of a lot better, you can now build up your own gang and have turf wars with drive by shootings involving your gang members as well as yourself. The inclusion of 2 player mode for those who wanted it.

Yes, very superficial...

Just watched it now...

F**k me it looks unbelievable. When you see it all flowing together the game just looks increbible.

I think the bit that stunned me the most was the ability to have a bass cannon put in your car which will actually make the music sound heavier.

Sad but it totally blew me away. The little touches are stunning.
