    NO would be insane. Street performers, crazy partying and all kinds of **** that would fit GTA well. Then again, it might be a trainwreck with the narrow streets and all.

      Don't get much time to play, though. I'm slowly making it through.
      Island 3 won't look like much when you go into it because it's not full of skyscrapers, but it has some sweet freeways and a cool industrial area on the southeast side of it as well as a prison (or some sort of correctional facility). Island 2 is still my favorite, but island 3 is still kind of cool.

        Yeah and a strip club that is obviously a homage to the Sopranos. Like many I've just started up the main story line again. I don't care what anybody says, this game is a staggering achievement. It blew me away in 2008 and I'm still loving it two years later. The amount of detail in this beast is just insane. I've literally spent hours reading the in game internet, laughing my butt off the entire time.

        Imagine what these guys are going to produce on the next generation of consoles...

          the 3rd Island I think is supposed to be like Nothern New Jersey. I may be wrong but thats what I thought I heard somewhere.

            That's right. It's laid out geographically just like the NY metro area. You got Jersey on the left, Manhattan in the middle, and Brooklyn, Queens and Bronx on the right. I've driven all over NYC and its uncanny how they got the feel of the different neighboorhoods down pat.

              Seeing you guys talk about this game makes me want to go out and purchase it again. I had it on the 360 but sold it shortly after I picked it up when I decided to get rid of my 360. I only played it for a few weeks and never repurchased it on the PS3. It looks like I should go pick it up and give it a full play through.

                Go for it. I'll tell you - when I first played it, I quit shorty into the second island and was greatly disappointed. Thought it was overrated and that they really hurt the GTA series... But playing it again now, I'm loving it.

                  That would put a premium to getting away on foot. If you wanna commit crimes, don't go uptown. But, the problem is there isn't much of a bustling high rise scene here. And they'd have to include the west bank and/or New Orleans East, which is mostly residentials. Not all that exciting to rampage through.

                  Though I'd still like to see my city done right in a game. Only one I can remember is that crappy James Bond game a while back which made New Orleans look like friggin' Paris. And it had an adjacent swamp with a friggin' plantation between the causeway and here.

                  I mean, you gotta have a swamp in a video game about New Orleans or else it isn't New Orleans...RIGHT?!? *eye twitch*

                    Oh yeah. it's nearly impossible to recreate NYC block for block because it's so huge. But Rockstar captured the 'feel' of the city, no doubt. My only complaint is my borough(Bronx) got shortchanged. How can you not have Swingers(Yankee) Stadium or the Bronx Zoo? Or stadiums based on CitiField or Madison Square Garden? All the PS2 GTAs had stadiums, San Andreas with THREE.

                      I am on the last mission and flying the helicopter. No matter what I try I always get hit by an rpg. I even tried flying high and weave and bop up/down and still get hit. Any tips?

                          there's a pc mod that lets you play in first person, which they should at least add as an official option in the future. You notice even more detail and immersion from that view.

                            I finally beat the main game yesterday......I ended up flying the helicopter really high, this way I didn't get hit by that RPG until the end of the sequence. The game was a little bit too long for my taste, but very enjoyable and I clocked in at 32 hours.

                            I started The Lost and the Damned last night, this game already starts off crazy. It is nuts how much I see Sons of Anarchy in this game and there is even a character Clay in the game, I was waiting to meet Jax and Tig. LOL!

                                Which ending did you choose for Niko, 'Deal' or 'Revenge'?
