I just tried it for myself today...

Free Roam or w/e was pretty fun. Sniping people from a boat out in the ocean was fun.

The only team based game I played was nothing but RPGs, and that was REALLY lame.

My name is : SupraMan18

/\ LOL sounds awesome.

but does it get boring?

my main question....how BIG is the world compared to san andreas?

how are buildings? any blank loading screens or anything silly? (i'm hoping new systems dont need that much anymore)

i soo want to play this. maybe i'll buy a 360 this summer.... the only thing is I have a modded xbox and i havent played many of the games on my hard drive yet...which would seem wasteful.... :(

I was doubtfull when they said it was liberty again as it was a small map. This however is not a small map. It is huge. I have only seen the first map and i would say it is bigger than all three maps from the original game and there are two more large maps and several smaller ones. Once the game has loaded you can walk from your save point right out side without loading again.
This feels much more real than any other version of this game. The city looks really dirty just like a real city would.

For the most part I've been enjoying this, the game is about 95% seamless when free roaming the city so there's rarely loading time save for missions, and using the taxi to skip around town quickly. The game doesn't really get boring because there's just so much damned 'stuff' that's just been jam packed into this game, you could probably spend weeks just knit-picking the details.

The online play is ok, and there's a bunch of modes to choose from. I'm more into deathmatch and 'gta race' which equates to racing with any vehicle the game offers, but with uzis and grenades. That free mode is kinda like a giant sandbox to mess around with, but quickly degenerates into people thinking it's deathmatch mode, or taking helicopters as high as possible, then leaping out of them into buildings to see how many flips you make before you hit the ground. No chutes, bummer.

the whole game has no parachutes? i wonder why.

is there any cool car customization? sometimes thats fun...slap nitro in a fast car and blast the highways.

I'm just now getting bored with GTA SA... did all the storyline missions, have about 78 percent and just dont feel compelled to do the rest i guess...

somebody give me something fun to do in the game. i'm thinking about playing SAMP on my computer but I dunno.

i'm so damn tempted to get a 360, this game, and halo 3...

I got the 360 at Christmas and i don't regret a thing. Halo3 totaly rocks as does COD4. Price is good as well compared to the ps3.
