I just got this game, it is pure AWESOME. I was one of those guys that did not follow the flock and buy the new GTA 4 game, I read the reviews and did not fall in love with it like I did San Andreas on the PS2. This game is like a breath of fresh air, the city actually feels alive (people were taking my picture and acting like they were happy to see me after I killed a group of reavers on multiple roof tops). You actually get the feeling that you "are" a famous savior or hero. But when you are bad, they really let you know they do not like you (hollaring at you, one guy acted like I was going to attack a group of people and actually told everyone to run). This game is very cool.
