I know an easy way to get the 40 achievement points for one man army (6 stars for 10 minutes) Get out to the water, and find a speed boat, take it, and find a cop boat. Fire on him, killing if possible, wait for others to show up, and its instant 6 star. If you have the speed boat, you can keep just ahead of them w/ out getting shot for the alotted time needed to get the achievement. Or just hide under a bridge. I couldn't remember if it was 5 or 10...seemed like it took forever though. And it's only 5 minutes.

I found that the key to Ruff Riders was to simply go in the opposite direction. The bike you are supposed to use...go back up that street then turn toward where he is and you'll make up some ground on that guy. When I tried to follow his exact path I lost him real fast. It only took two tries.
I've also noticed with these chase missions that you dont have to get right on their bumper as quick as possible, the game actually HELPS you in that regard, in real life you'd never catch anybody like that, but the game will allow you to make up ground as long as you arent too far out of range.

Well, if you are being chased by cops, usually for me, taking the subway will help you escape.

Well, if you are being chased by cops, usually for me, taking the subway will help you escape. I was being chased by some cops so I ran up to the train station, and waited until I saw a train coming. I quickly crossed the tracks, and watched as the two cops got nailed by the train. I got on the train and escaped the search area. Most satisfying.

The online interface is crap. Definitely the most disappointing thing about this game. I had a really hard time getting in the same games as a friend and for some reason the inviting system is useless. I can only hope this is fixed with patches.

For anyone who hasn't done the Final Interview Mission yet. There will be a point where it tells you to go buy a nice suit with a tie and some sharop shoes. I spent over an hour trying different outfits different combinations trying every shoe in the game and finally found it was the glasses niko was wearing. So don't wear glasses to this mission.

I was gonna post some long list and stuff of things I liked and disliked, but I just had to say this for now.
I went into that one Jamaican Coffee Shop and knocked over a beer bottle, and the guy got all mad at me. Then like 4 more guys god mad at me and chased me out of the store (didnt give up after 10 minutes like in the old game). One of him had a gun and he shot it and everyone panicked. Most of them stayed down there but one chased me up this old apartment building and I lost him in there. I went down some stepladder thing from the fourth floor down to the ground and was in an alleyway. Then a few bullets hit the building RIGHT by my head. I thought the guy with the gun was shooting at me. I ran down the alley and looked back at the coffee shop and there was this huge gun fight going on between the Jamaican guys and the Cops cause of the panick that guy cause when he shot those few bullets. I called 911 and another car showed up and the cops won. Then I took the guns and money from the guys who got shot...
Oh and the physics in this game are awesome. I like how you can shoot someone in the stomach and they'll stay down for like 30 seconds and barely get back to they're feet, or how people can trip going up the stairs.
But yeah thats all I got for now. No game was ever gonna be as revolutionary as III was. Doesnt mean this isnt one of the best games of all time and the best of the series...

Okay I really love the physics in this game. Really saved it from just being an updated San Andreas killspree with cars and guns and stuff. I love how pedesterians limp when they get shot in the knee, and how people who are badly wounded in the stomach just lay and die, or try to get up but cant really.
The ragdoll physics are the best. I had like 4 stars and my car was all messed up and I guess when you mess it up too badly you gotta hotwire it again or it wont start. So Im in surrounded by cops and vans all shooting at me (and really just hitting eachother alotI unno what happened there). The car finally starts and I just take off RIGHT into a running lady down the street, who hits the front end of the car perfectly, does two huge flips and lands right in the middle of the explosion that happened when all the police cars exploded after doing too much damage to eachother.
Gotta get back to the missions...

Ok this game is really bad online.
I don't mean the actual gameplay, its fine....I mean the IDIOTS playing it.
The first time I try it, I choose Cops and Crooks. I'm a Cop and spawn inside a car with 3 other players and I just happen to be driving. The second the game starts one of my teammates says "You better not be a n****r because no n****rs allowed."
Normally I'd just quit, but I decide to have some fun here. "Oh, right on, white power..." I say and they all enthusiastically agree. I start driving and one of them informs me I'm going the wrong way "I know a shortcut" I say, and they're all like "YEAH LETS GET THOSE N****RS!"
So I drive up on one of the high overpasses, and there's a part where there's a little break in the wall with flimsy barricades. I plow through the barricade and jump out of the car safely at the last second, letting them all plunge to their deaths.
THEN I quit.
So, yeah, glad to see that just like Smackdown this game is played by a bunch of 13 year old idiots.

For our first date, I took Carmen to the Strip Club, since it's listed as a place she likes to go in her online profile. When we walk inside, for no apparent reason, she bolts for the door screaming like she just got mugged at gunpoint. I had to chase her down several blocks on foot when she suddenly calmed down and asked me to take her home. When we got back to her place, she said she had a fun time and gave me her number.
WTF??? Did anybody else have this happen?

You probably should have shouted something in the style of Snoop Dogg before bailing though. Either way, you get the full 5 stars.

Yeah, on its on, it sounds like a laugh....but the rest of the hour I played online was with too many similar people. Little kids screaming racist things, not playing the game right, and just being generally lame.

"Well take the motherf***ing headphones off, asshole!" etc. They continued to dick around until they left. At that point, I wondered "This must be what Xbox Live is like all the time, based on all the complaints I've heard. Glad I'm on PSN."

I didnt buy GTA IV for the online play. I bought it because of the Single Player. And its another reason why I dont have Xbox Live.

Just gotta say one more time. The physics in this game added like a year to its replay value. That puts it at like 3984938 years.
Oh but one thing I hate is the fact that hes not really that customizable. In SA you could have CJ big or small, all types of hair, could have him in some gang clothes or a nice suit. Thats prolly why I liked CJ the most. Once the game was over he could pretty much be any kind of character depending on how you dressed him...
