Default Your GTA 4 impressions?

I know most wont probably be in here for the next few days, that actually play it, but I thought I ask anyway.

Don't really like the car physics much. Aiming is good. Story kinda weak and not very "connected".

Graphics: great, but not as good as i expected

Cars: Car physics = awesome imo, the new handling is so much fun...a lot more realistic, nice variety, i like the new car sounds

Storyline: Been fooling around too much...only 6% done so i dont have any comments on the story yet :P

Shooting: Nice aiming, love the new duck and cover system

Fighting: More realistic fighting...except that means its much harder

I dont like new knifing in this game cuz i still cant figure out how to sneak up behind someone and knife them in the throat like in SA

Cops: I like that you can get ur wanted level removed if its 2 stars, they have much better aim this time...which can be good or bad...depending on what you want

Overall, i love the game, but its not as big of improvement over SA as SA was over VC.

Awesome.

Im about 25% done and story is great.
Running over people and then having a blood stained car is awesome. Taxis help a ton getting around the city. Shotties are great, Uzi is sweet, rpg effects are crazy good(but slow too). Patriot is great for plowing through traffic and the breaking windows to hot wire cars motion is awesome too.

I give this game 5 awesomes out of 5 awesomes.
Just wish you could have a more variety of girl friends in the game instead of just michelle.

I really like it so far. I wasn't keen on the car physics to begin with but they've grown on me and I really like them. Can be a little tricky when doing a race online, but you just have to be a little more cautious.

I'm not even off the first island yet and I'm really enjoying it. I haven't really played multiplayer as I was getting terrible lag connecting to US players.

the ragdoll effects when u hit people if the best part imo. and the little cellphone thing that u can look up your friends and join multiplayer matches is ingenious. No More Menus!
