i dont think i will be getting this game because its just not my style, but it is getting good reviews.

also ign, scored the xbox version 7.5 on graphics, so those other comparsions seem to be fake (but how much can we trust ign, lol)

also in the review, he (ign guy) said it is an open world game, so you can drive around and explore, and do side missions, so i was wondering how that 3 disk thing works, can you explore the whole map without switching disks, are all side missions on all 3 disks, so you dont have to switch. just curious. for any xbox owner who is getting the game, could you tell me how it works



Picking it up tomorrow. Can't wait! I'll be honest though, I was expecting RDR type reviews- i guess im just to it since it is a highly advertised release from rockstar. Nevertheless it still looks awesome!!!

Im thinking main story events are seperated on each disc (there are 3 arcs so they could just put a different arc on each disc). and the side stories and entire map are available on all 3 discs probably I mean i dont think its bigger than gta 4.

oh, it is a lot higher than I thought looking at IGN review



Time to Work !

I just read the Ign review and will probably end up getting the game. I can deal with the flaws and negatives,but I think the positive aspects will far outweigh the negative aspect of the game,plus I can't resist those type of games. 



Great game, have it already, played it quite a bit. The story is great and i like how you can tell people are lying just by their facial expressions, definitely the most alive characters in any video game ever. Other stuff like driving and shooting aren't to shabby either, i would put them on par with GTA 4, but worse than RDR (the shooting).

My only complain really, is that when you do missions you can tell if you found all the clues or not and that when you ask a question you know right away if you did it right or not. This makes it super easy to get 5 star rank on every mission since you can just load until you get it right, you should be graded at the end of the mission only. At least the first time through the mission.
