Got my copy from PC World, only place that didn't have hoooooge queues. Try your local store.

My eyes have never been subjected to 10 and a half hours of constant gameplay before.

They are fairly sore.

Awesome game though, it's the little things like the "out the windscreen" and mini-games that really make it shine imo.

has anybody had any trouble connecting to quick matches online?

[finlay666]

I have now played for about 20 hours out of 24......

Damn it was worth it though, the game is so nice to play, not even doing missions just cruising round picking people up in cabs, and seeing people on the street get mugged and stuff

[Russ]

i like the little touches, interior lights, being able to hear the radio when a car goes past.

[digit]

I'm quite impressed, wasnt to sure if I'd like it. I like the relationships between the characters and how you have to socialise to get more respect. Getting drunk is pretty good to, I ended up causing a massive explosion as suddenly the car became unresponsive, good times The radio is excellent, many really good songs!

[Knoxville]

Enjoying what i've played so far, even at this early stage though (about five hours in) I get the horrible feeling theres some really cool stuff in this game I'm gonna miss completely just because theres so much going on.

[tigerboyce]

Fiiinaly, Uni internet goes down all day, what a bloody day to pick it.


At least i got 19 hours of GTA in , And yes agree with everything so far, LOVE IT. Ambience and all the small touches are brilliant. makes the game

I got this from Comet last night, got about 20 mins on it before the missus descended upon me (stupid soaps on the TV!) then spent from around 11pm to about 2/3 am this morning online, playing cops and robbers.

possibly the most funny, most addictive online MP game I've ever played....

the amount of people who were in constant stitches of laughter when some 'moron' sunk the police car into the docks instead of running over the boss

SP - I've not really had chance to play yet.... It may sound weird, but does not simply feel like a follow up to the previous GTA's, this is an entirely new game in it's own right and I think it definitely deserved the hype

[Blackmage]

I did think that this game was more 9/10 material but i can see why it has received 10/10

Game is just so fun, I had a laugh when i saw the warm coffee achviment pop up

[gtech]

what a blast, loving every minute. Electro choc is a blinding station, big electro/breaks tunes, caught gervais on tv so got in car burned to comedy club and watched him live

[Lord Midas]

Mine still hasn't been delivered!!!11!

anyone else having this issue?

my mate has the same thing every time he tries to play in a party with me. We both have open nat settings as well.

[SmileyUK]

also anyone having trouble handling the cars is going round the corners too fast. You cant hammer on the brakes either as it locks your wheels. You have to slow take corner and accelerate out of it and then you will have no trouble with them.

Aye that was a right giggle Russ, may well be on again later tonight if you fancy another bash.

to be fair, the servers were a bit laggy at times last night, i suppose with it being the day of release they would have been hammered, regardless of how well equipped they may have been, I suspect it will be initial teething troubles...

[SmileyUK]

yeah it was happening on sunday and monday as well though . I can literally play with anyone else apart from him as well.

also is there any way to get new multiplayer clothes or do you reckon they will be sold as dlc? the selection atm is very limited
