    Made a thread on the main board, but it died off quickly. Anyone else pick this up? Its my favorite game in a long while, probably the last year and a half. The atmosphere is awesome in this game and the city feels very alive at first.

    There is a demo on Xbox and Ps3 so you can give it a shot.

    Watched my roomie play for a couple of hours. Looks like a lot of fun. I'll run through it once he's done.

    Beat the game. I don't really have any motivation to do the extra stuff. The story was awesome and the final mission was excellent. Anyone want to buy it? $40?

    Hey C A N E
    Just bought this game. Downloading the initial data for it so I can play. Excited about it, as I've read a couple (generally) glowing reviews. Only thing I don't like is that when I get bored, I won't be able to punch in some cheat codes and go wild like in all the GTA and Saints Row games. Excited nonetheless. Got any tips or recommendations or anything for me before I get going?

    Don't sweat cop experience. It's more easy to come by. The last mission is great. I already finished it and sold it, but it was an awesome story. Doesn't have as much replay value as GTA, but it's still very well done. Top 5 game of this year IMO.

    Buy cars. You will have plenty of money in game. There is a parking garage near every house you get an the cars you buy will be stored there (even if you lose it)

    I'd agree with all this. Really well done game. I'd always forget and go to the wrong side of the car to get in because it is opposite of most games.

    one hell of a game... i'm slowly taking my time doing the missions, i enjoy the side missions to much to just blow by them (and i have a feeling once i beat the game, ill be unlikely to come back and finish the side missions.

    the last mission was pretty good
    felt the game ended pretty abruptly though.

    What? It is and I realize its because it is in Hong Kong. Not sure what the face palm is for.

    its in China where the steering wheel is on the right hand side and you drive on the left side of the road... the part about 'different from other games' is pretty redundant since the other games are based in America... if Grand Theft Auto would have a game in Europe, you could bet your ass that the steering wheel would be on the right hand side of the car and you would drive on the left hand side.

    was going through the achievement list and have achievements on there for the DLC... did i download the DLC without knowing it?

    think this game did well enough for them to produce another? was it even advertised? I only found out about it by looking at Wal-Mart and it caught my eye. went online and read reviews about it and decided i must have.... waited till it dropped to $40 bucks on Amazon and used $30 dollar free money and purchased it for $15 with shipping.

    I hope so, maybe a prequel set in San Fran when he first joined the police force.

    No they add those with updates. You still have to download the DLC if you want to unlock those achievements.

    Don't read the spoiler if you haven't played the game yet... contains a true spoiler to the game.
    that would be cool. and incorporate his beef with Big Smile Lee and overdosing his sister

    Uh no shit genius. I said I know its because it is in Hong Kong. The point was after playing games based in america for my whole life it took a while to get used to it.

    Playing this now since it was a GWG several months ago. I never played it back in 2012 like I said I would.

    I'm captivated. This shit is awesome and holds up so well after 5 years.

    Kopped the dlc-included version for 5.99.

    Wife and kid are out of town this week; promptly dropped 11 hours on it yesterday. Really good.

    You play any more?

    I spent the morning finishing the races, security cameras, health shrines, cases, and jobs. I have a few more lockboxes to go and maybe 3 or 4 more story missions.

    Zodiac Tournament was fucking awesome.

    Played through DLC and zodiac tournament. All the story mode and jobs. Also got that baller-ass car from Professor Zane or whatever. No interest in finishing all of the little side things like lock boxes and shit.

    Beat the entire main game mode(including Zodiac) in 2 days. About 20 hours and then played DLC.

    Barricading yourself in the Police precinct in that suped up car and just fighting your way out with the guns on top is p fun.
