Don't suppose it said anything about hair with a lack of cut did it?

I think out of all those bits of info this one sounds the best to me. You actually have to train now to get good giving the game more lifespan and something to do. The underwater bit sounds pretty cool too. As for the tattoo's, meh.
You can custom mod your cars, it does little to improve performance, but you can add a whole bunch of unnecessarily silly looking bits and pieces to make you look a like a boy racer.
When your car disappears after straying from it for too long, you'll be able to find it in the Police impound lot.
There are 12 small towns as well as the three cities, each of which will be in and around the countryside region.
You can get tattoo’s, which together with being able to get different hair cut’s and new clothes will give you a unique, custom stylised character. However, tattoo’s will be recognised by different gangs and the police, and will bring with it lot's of unwanted attention.
Your character can now climb over walls and fences as well as being able to swim and explore new underwater environments (where there apparently allot of secrets hidden)
Attacking is also a skill you'll have to learn at, you won't instantly be able to shoot people with pinpoint accuracy and will need to learn new combat moves from the many Dojo's placed around the cities.
The more I hear about this game the more I get excited about it. It seems Rockstar are finally making use of new technology and ideas rather than just churn out another city wide blast em up. I'll probably get it on PS2 though, don't think I could wait for it to come out on the PC.

A lot of these things sound fun, but if you have to control all the gang wars yourself it could be a pain. I'd hope you can delegate some of these things to your lieutenants.
I've heard you'll be able to do over casino's too, though am not sure how truthful that is. Still, what would be the point in including Vegas if you couldn't rob casino's blind?

There is also a desert (sp?).
At night you have the ability to rob from peoples houses, and pawn off any items you get.
There is a mountain.
Trucker missions.
You can also have proper Gang Wars where you have to reclaim parts of your turf, and fight for new turf.
I cant wait.

Hmm, didn't know about that. Still can't say it's sounding very appealing to me though. I'll probably end up getting it anyway but it won't be straight away.
