I'm actually on that mission too! I murdered everyone to get the package but afterwards, holy **** there're a lot of them! I'm thinking of trying it again and forcing them to come to me.

And I must say, the biggest thing that makes this a better sequel is the superior aiming, really helps bring me into the game unlike the previous one where it was so frustrating it takes me out of it.

Just did that one last night...I almost died trying to figure out how to get out. Cops were kickin my a$$. BTW...don't bother fighting them..they just keep coming. Clear a path and run for it. Just go out the front door and run straight through the opening in the fence and go for the water! I jumped off the ledge into the water and jacked a boat that's sitting there. Then you can haul it out of wanted range.

I think this point is close to half way through the story mode. I'm having way more fun with this GTA than I ever have with the others. It's been fantastic so far.

I love this game! I just finished the mission where you have to get the strip club back for Dwayne on the second island. Intense stuff.

If there a cheat that turns the cops off? I know about the one that lowers your wanted level, but that one sucks. I want to turn them off completely if I decide to fore go missions and just rampage for the day. Sometimes I have a bad day at work and just want to come home and murder people without repercussions. There's just something immensely satisfying about firing an AK-47 into the windshield of a guy who just ran you over and not having to answer to the police for it.

I beat it almost the same way but got away in a truck. In the back room, there's a huge I guess spindle? on the ground, the thing that holds large quantitues of big wires and the like. It's perfect to jump on that, jump onto the ledge and out of the building. I had put a truck there so it was ready for my getaway

There's an option to pause all game progress through your phone so you can roam around for free, but it won't stop the cops. You'll have to cheat which will disable your achievements for you.

Online plays great just wish it was a bit more arcadey and faster as these guys all move so realistically it takes them a while to turn or duck or even make a roll. Overall though super fun to play online.

My bestfriend bought this for my bday yesterday, I just started so I don't have an opinion just yet. One thing for sure is, I need to work on the controls, because I suck at driving! HAHA.

HelloKinky · 05-05-2008, 03:19 PM

Driving is definitely unforgiving, but overall I just play this game and it looks phenomenal. I love take cab rides around the city!

Has anyone else seen the pigeons with the red glow around them? I've seen two so far, one in the gazebo in the Overlook Park and another in a tunnel.
