That's a good point. I thought there would be more outfits for Niko also, but maybe I just haven't found them/unlocked the stores yet.

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. That's just hilarious. ;D

Thank god I don't believe in playing against losers online.
I'm even more torn over whether to get a 360 or PS3 for this game.

Speaking of online, has anyone actually been able to save their stats/upgrades they've gained, everytime I go back on I'm back to $0 level 0.

Does anyone know of a possible bridge that i may be missing to get the "under the radar" achievement? I've only got one left, and i can't seem to find it.

Random question:
Dp the phone numbers you can enter to get full health, armour and weapons etc count as "cheats"??

Random question: Dp the phone numbers you can enter to get full health, armour and weapons etc count as "cheats"?? I believe so. A tip for a mission you get from Dwayne. I cannot remember the name but you have to kill three managers of the strip club. There is an entrance and a exit to the club. I found it's much easier if you take a car and block the back exit. Just go in fire a shot, wait until the targets appear as red dots (you may be under fire so be careful), and run back out the entrance and wait for them to appear. If they get past you they'll run to a car behind the entrance where you'll have to chase them down. Also be careful as sometimes the cops appear to screw up everything. And remember if you get low on health a burger shot is south of the club.

Loving the game but the missions are really hit and miss. Like there are some points where the game plays like Shenmue, which is great, but other times when I feel like I'm playing the same missions as in GTA3. Gotta agree with the online play. It's either angry, angry men or white middle-class chav kiddies who wanna be gansta's and use phrases like 'Blood' and 'Jog On'. Phew here's my gamertag if anyone wants a game. GT: Matt Freegard

For some reason, most of my mission failures in this game have happened due to some bright idea I've gotten during the missions...
Exhibit A: Mission "Deconstruction for Beginners"
Me: I wonder if I could descend this 300-foot ladder a bit faster, it's taking ages to get back down...
*presses A which speeds up your climbing while going up*
Niko (releases hold of the ladder): AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHhhhhhhhh *URK* *GAH* *SPLAT* (wakes up in the hospital)
Exhibit B: Mission "Hostile Negotiation"
Me: "Oh, a red barrel. I'll shoot that so no one else will blow it up in my face. I'm far enough from it and behind good cover, so I won't be taking damage or anything if I blow up the barrel!"
*BOOM*
(The barrel explodes right in Niko's face despite him being behind cover, killing him instantly and sending him flying three stories down to the floor)

I had the greatest death ever. I accidentially dropped a grenade and didn't realize it on the roof of a 5 story building. When it exploded at my feet, and instantly killed me, the blast sent me face first into a brick wall, which i ricoched off of, and fell to the ground, but not before bouncing off a police car, and landing family guy style on the sidewalk.

I played it for the first time at my brother's house for an hour. I get into my first carjacking, switch it to the rock station and what should come on? "Heaven and Hell" by Black Sabbath. Dear god I need a PS3

One time, I told a couple of players who were voice chatting that I couldn't understand them. They then got completely hostile. "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." It just goes to prove this: us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/yhst-34640480252896_2000_2891876I concur. When I'm online gaming, I try and be decent about things. I've found others that do the same, but then I've also found so many others who are as that link says. I wonder sometimes why I even bother.

EPIC! This games needs an instant replay feature. Yesterday, I called the cops from the top of a building. When they arrived, I jumped to my death and tried to land on their car. Missed, unfortunately. Not as cool as yours, though.

Couple of days ago, I'm playing Cops and Crooks on the crooks team, and there's one guy who's a little too into it. He's all, "Oh no! The cops! I don't wanna die. What if they find this bag of coke I've got? I'm scared!". It wouldn't have been so annoying, but he WOULDN'T SHUT UP and went on like this for over five minutes straight!

Something odd happened to me today. After playing some online stuff (Cops 'n' Crooks and GTA Race, mainly) I returned to the normal game and started to change Nico's clothes. I discovered an outfit I never bought. It was Claude's outfit from GTA III! Awesome.
I have no idea how I got it. I did get the PS3 patch today, too, so maybe that had something to do with it, though I doubt it.
EDIT: I figured out where it comes from, but I'll refrain from telling anyone here to avoid posting a spoiler.

I've noticed while bowling with Michelle and Roman, that Michelle is a terrible bowler and Roman is really good. I've bested Michelle everytime, but I'm only 1-5 against Roman. I haven't bowled against the other guys, however. She's in it again?
