I'll wait for a decent version to come out on the Xbox! But nevertheless I am intrigued and impressed by what I have heard so far. I spent hours and hours on the previous games, and am looking forward to this.

This game is disgustingly awesome. I got 100% progress with denise and i got her car and a pimp suit. I am dating Michelle right now and that is tougher. I worked my ass off to open up all three cities and now i am going to sit back and unlock various things.
I might do all the tags, horseshoes and oysters.
I also have near $2,000,000 from gambling at the casino. I bet $50,000 by accident on video poker and i won with a full house.
I bet $90,000 on a horse with 12/1 odds and won! W00t!

by the way.. I'm still on the first city.. and I acidentally made it passed the bridge barriers to the las vegas of this game's world and swam ashore only to get an immediate 4-star warning level.. swat teams descended from 3+ helicopters.. police vehicles in full force, and police boats.. one of which I climbed aboard in a futile attempt to stay alive in this mess - I blew the driver's head off.. took the wheel and was pretty quickly taken out by the other gun boats and the helicopters' m-16s . I must've ended up in the groom lake/area 51 of this city - wink.
how cool is the third city? I've only seen like literally one street in san fierro so there's still a lot for me to explore.
as cool as this game is and VC was, I look at all of these as precursors to more fully-realized games.. SA is really only suggesting things w/ the attributes, girlfriends, eating, property ownership etc.. there is more depth to be added to these things and the experience of future versions.. just think what the next next-gen iterations of this series will offer..
one last thing.. I got my ps2 when they were "released" but not consistantly available in the entire US (not legally imported?) in mid-2001. my "console version" is like 1.2 something.. I know there must've been some upgrades in that - what version are they up to now esp. w/ the new "psTwo" ? I know the ps2 isn't exactly the BEST dvd player u could ask for, but it can't play a lot of new dvds and I'm guessing it's the dated processor/console that's at fault for this??

I did that other city escape thing. It's awesome fun. I found a mountain bike and just went whizzing around while the police chased me. I died.

this game is the fucking bomb. I cant stop playing it. My girlfriend (who lives with me) is getting somewhat frustrated. I DONT CARE, it RULES. Im stuck in a bunch of mountains at the moment, chasing couriers in hum-vees to get their money. HA. My character is a big bastard, but i lost all my money when i lost my turf. DOH. I got some back by earning money for the psycho latino woman. I LOVE THIS GAME. The end.

and apparently when you get really good at using a weapon, it lets you use two at the same time. Nice.

Yeah, when you get to hitman level with a type of weapon, you can wield some dual. Not every weapon, but some cool ones, including the sawed off shotgun (I don't think I'll ever get that one... I barely ever use shotguns). I've got hitman status with micro machine guns, and man, it cuts through motherfuckers like a hot knife through butter. Unstoppable.

haha, cool
jetpack is kinda nice, but wait untill you get the jet plane !!! homing missiles and massive speed =D!! + you can set it to some sort of hover mode
maybe i spoiled alittle but.. it's so cool =D
you got allot of really fun missions ahead of you, i was kinda bored with the casinos first missions but after that theres some really cool missions.
I got like.. 2 horse shoes haha, i think i will get into that later when im more "finished" with the game, i like to have something to do that involves driving around in the beutiful country

I actually haven't played this game in about 35 hours... I still can't find it for sale, and I took it back to Blockbuster a while ago. I'll be calling around tonight, I need it. Been finishing up Vice City in the meantime, never did mop that game up.
In San Andreas, I'm at the part where you buy the airport for whatshisface. I loved that race through the desert in the monster truck.
Anyone notice the character (Fido/Claude?) from GTA3 at the race with Catalina? I also heard Tommy Vercetti was in this, and Ken Rosenberg...

I know it's not a required mission, but does anybody have any tips for beating the "Supply Lines" mission for Zero. where you fly the little remote control bi-plane and shoot the couriers??
it's fucking impossible i tell ya!

be patient?
that mission was THE biggest pain in the ass ..EVER. after you blow up all the couriers you have to bring it back!!? why??
as soon as you fly off the roof start shooting. the driver will get out of the car and you just need to kill him .. which is pretty easy. then go STRAIGHt. not to the guy on the bike.. but get the van north of the one you just shot up and try to get it before it makes its turn & its way down that perp. road. then get the guy on the bike.. the difficult part is the long flight to the other side of the city (practically). there are two people on a moto. that you have to kill.. keep a good distance from them b/c for some reason they're the hardest one to get without taking a good amt. of damage.
sometimes flying up/down/up/swoop down saves fuel.. it might move you along quicker.. maybe not though.
just keep doing it though. the frustrating thing about it is there isnt' anything you do that is really that different from when you win or lose on that mission. a lot of times I "failed" the mission when I was literally 1-2 seconds away from landing on the roof.

Man, a lot of people are getting owned by Supply Lines. I didn't bother with it because I don't want to deal with it. It's not a mission you need to do to advance the storyline anyway.
Now, ''The Driver'' mission from Vice City... that's a mandatory mission that made me sob.

yeah, but it's a good feelin when you finally ace that one. and Zero's becomes an asset and you can do remote bi-plane mini game if you beat all 3 missions.
I got hitman level with pistols and sawnoff shotguns last night.

BRAKING NEUS
When you buy the soundtrack, you get a 22 minute DVD that outlines what happened before the game. A prequel. Cool deal.
''Set just a few days before the game first begins, "The Introduction" is told via the various viewpoints of several important characters. Through this interweaving of perspectives, fans will be able to grasp the sheer level of corruption that's infested the LSPD thanks to Officer Tenpenny's masterminding and come to understand the history behind the Grove Street Families. Watchers will also learn how the rift between Sweet and his brother CJ first came about, and catch up with supporting characters like Ken Rosenberg and Boss Leone.''

I'm up to the part where I just met Jizzy at the strip joint. How far into the game am I? I'm pretty sure I missed alot of things, I never took over any territory with my gang, never met my girlfriend that lived on the same street,(although i did run through the missions with that other anoying spanish chick), there must be other things.
