Simple as.

Map. Click if you really want to...

Look how much random empty space there is. The Urban size doesn't look that much bigger than Vice City. If those are the three cities, they don't look very big at all. I hope the black lines are main roads and there are LOTS of alleys, otherwise very disappointing. Must be very zoomed out if it was to take half an hour to travel from one corner to another though.

*SPOILER*









Apparantly there's an Area 51 style place, anyone spot it?

I'm not home 'til Sunday. Should be delivered Friday or Saturday though.

I'm hoping to get it on Saturday at the latest. I'm on holiday now and I'm all set.

:)

Might I ask what CA Games is and why it's so special.


*It's a kilty boys thing, I'm sure.
:)

Mmm, but knowing their eagerness to put out games before their selling date, you still might be able to get it before Friday...


I'm going to pop down to G-Force on Thursday as they might have it. They had PES3 a couple of days before it's release date, so I can hope.

If not I'll just get it on Saturday. Having PES4 it's not like I'll be bored anyway...

Might be. Tried to put my name down but the guy said the list is already overly full. He said there would be a lot of extra copies in so if I was lucky I'd get one. So I'll be going up, yeah, but probably won't be able to get a copy because no doubt it'll sell out too fast.

I heard previous games had about 50 and SA has about 150?

Besides, the wasted areas in VC weren't wasted by me. It's always fun causing havoc with the features of a little pocket of the town set away from anything useful, like missions etc.

What's the point of a two player rampage? If there rest of the game is single player, then having to get someone else just to do a few rampages, which are probably spaced out along the game, seems idiotic.

Ah well, it's Rockstar, so it's to be expected...

B. Rampages

There are rampages in San Andreas, different kinds now. Car rampages,
on foot rampages, chopper rampages, bike rampages, and even...get his
people: TWO PLAYER RAMPAGES. Holy sh--dookie!

No bad...

For more information, go to gamefaqs.com. The walkthrough is pretty good, but of course there are spoilers, yada yada yada.

I averted my eyes at the mission bit but i did look at the air vehicles section and WOW. Can't wait...
