I picked this game up and let me tell you that it rocks. The new aiming system kicks all sorts of ass and there are a bunch of other changes also.
Eating is not that big of a pain in the ass and working out takes no time at all. No longer is there a 100 for life and armor. Right now I just have a life bar. I am not sure what happens when you get armor though.
So far the game is sweet as I cruise around causing mad thug damage. Although I find myself having to re-adjust to the driving as they redid the physics for cars.
One new set of missions that I like are the pimping missions. THATS RIGHT. Pimping missions. Just grab yourself a pimp car and click in r3 to activate. Go around dropping off hoes and then coming back to them to pick up the cash. Its pretty cool.
The radio is kickin' as always. I mainly am listening to Radio X(rock). I wish it was strictly alternative though...but at the same time I do get to listen to "Welcome to the Jungle" as well as other songs by Stone Temple Pilots and Jane's Addiction. I also like the Rap stations because it was when it didn't completely suck. I actually like it. I have not really had a chance to listen to talk radio yet.
Overall the game is a VAST improvement and now you can swim...SAY WHAT??!?! Thats right. When you fall in the water it isn't over. Just swim to shore!
Later homies. I gotta bounce.
