    No I'm playing on 360. I don't have a working PS3.

The cars just don't respond fast enough, partly because many times they are moving extra slow compared to your speed, and in neighborhood areas may actually be standing still.

      Worst part is the game seems to enjoy throwing cars out from each side when you run red lights. Sure, it's realistic, but results in a lot of crashes that could have been avoided with a better crossing routes (say one at a time, or two before you get there, etc).

      Like I said, these are major items in my book, just small changes they could have made to make the game more enjoyable. For me personally, it's no fun wrecking your car every other minute and I refuse to drive slow as I already have to do that in real life.
      So basically you're driving like a maniac everywhere?

            Who doesn't in a game like that? I dont stop for redlights, the stop signs or pedestrians. If someone steps in front of me, they'll have to scrape themselves off my grill

              Right, but it seems like he's surprised by the results of his joyriding.

                Only because they are worse than other games that have been released years ahead of this one. Even Saboteur has better avoidance mechanism, and it's an EA game. Saints Row 2 was over the top (believe they called it 'hyper reality'), but had great collision avoidance capabilities. Like I said, it's one of the small things they could have changed to make the game more enjoyable, especially since you spend so much time driving.

                Hit 1000/1000 today, and man, were those posters ever so boring to obtain. They hid them. Would have been more fun if they were in open site. No way I would have ever found them without a guide. I actually had 0/159 when I completed the game.

                Been reading up on the DLC that lands on the 7th. It's going to have roughly 30 hours of gameplay, which I found odd, because without the poster hunt, Mafia 2 is under 20 hours (didn't time it, but I finished the main story in 2 days).

                  Is that the one you have to jump off the bridge on? Took me like 10 tries to get it just right. Make sure you use the A (speed limiter) as you only need to go 50 to 60 to land on top of the building. That was my big mistake early on even though I watched the video on how to get it. I didn't catch the speed limiter or speed of the car.

                      Luckily nailed it on the third attempt.

                        Haven't tried that, I'll give it a shot. I've probably tried 50 times for it.

                          I used speed limiter at all times unless it was an escape/catch someone mission.

                          And until I read on here that the cops didn't care, I was stopping at red lights.

                                So I finally beat this game, took me 14 hours 29 minutes. Some interesting stats:

                                1. Game froze on me 3 times....

                                2. Spent only 38 seconds looking at playboys.

                                3. Made over $93,000 and I wasn't even trying.

                                4. Favorite gun was the 1911 pistol.

                                5. Killed just 24 civilians.

                                6. Favorite car was the jefferson.

                                Over all pretty decent game.
