I'm quite enjoying this.

I've banged Michelle, done some work for LJ (your right he is hard to understand but Badman is WORSE!), done Roman's jobs, and all of the ones the rude guy in the bar gives you, he won't be giving me anymore, met the local russian boss and done some work for him and started stealing cars for some jerk who I'm sure is modeled on a movie star and voiced by him too.

I've found out I can't bowl and that my driving is greatly improved when I am driving very fast expensive cars. Oh and shooting gangs of bikers is fun

At one point last night I had 29 friends online (possibly the most at one time ever), and 28 of them were playing GTA4.

I'm enjoying the game so far. I think it's starting a little slowly, something all GTA games do, but it's definitely fun. There's so much to do it's hard at times to actually decide what I want to be doing. The cover system is excellent so far, really liking the shooting side of things compared to previous games. The hand to hand fighting isn't much good though (or perhaps I'm not very good at it), seems a bit too slow for my liking. I'll probably just shoot people in the face instead.

aye i found that fist fights aren't a good option, but tbh witha knife and more guns that i could ever use up (like 1600 pistol rounds) you don't need to punch anybody really.

anyway, i really wanna get playing again. I ended last night at an interesting stage where i can't really decide whats going to happen next :/

Really enjoying it myself and really like the way stuff is discovered as I get round to doing it. For example I discovered the car wash this morning so that is a new thing on my map.

As Davey said the things are a little slow at the moment but it's to be expected. The only person I can do work for at the moment is Vlad, but I've met Brian and given him a lift so I'm sure I'll see him around at some point.

The bowling is good fun, got 1 strike and 2 spares Darts is good for a laugh though a little easy to hit the 180s. Caberat (sp?) is an interesting idea and the shows can be fun. Getting drunk is hilarious but can get very very sickening the longer it goes on Haven't visited a strip joint yet.

Driving was really really difficult when I first started but changing my view to 1st person and just seeing over the bonnet my driving improved no end. I can corner better and judge distances much easier.

I've made it to the 2nd island despite the 6 stars and helicopters. I found that theres a footpath across the bridge with the road blocks on. I got on that and then ran along the train line into the subway. Killed some people for fun, 6 stars can't get worse, and casually left the subway. Within 30 seconds I was dead. Another time I managed to swim out and steal a boat. Drove to the 2nd island, 6 stars, nabbed a car and had a quick tour. I like that you can make it there, that theres no some invisible wall stopping you or something. I also had an altercation in the strip club that resulted in everyone dying.

As soon as you try and cross the bridge you instantly get 6 stars.

I like the way that this game is different for everyone. I've not had any jobs from Vilad yet as I've been doing some taxi work for Roman and some crim stuff for LJ. It's good that you can take it in whatever direction you want to. Going to give Vilad a buzz tonight to see what he has for me
