Roger that. Usually cheaper, looks as good or better, and better controls.
All hail the mighty computer!

The beginning is not too fun. It opens up and gets a lot better the further you get into the game.

My roommate bought it, the graphics are a lot darker; They got rid of the pastel look that the previous games had. I guess they are braking the tie to cell shaded comic books in order to appeal to the COD4 and Gears of War type crowds. They are trying for a more realistic game; there are no Amunation stores, instead you have to go to underground/black-market type places. The motorcycles will also throw you off a bit sooner for bad driving too.

I don't play video games but they are fun to watch when they have a good plot line, this one has kept me interested so far.

They kept the cell shaded looki, just made it less... sharp, I guess.

Graphics are better. Fighting is a little more complex, once you're used to it.

The things I don't like are that the cars will not turn compared to... Well, any other major game. Maybe I'll get used to it.

Also, when driving, the camera sucks. When I make a turn, I always end up getting a twenty-second view of the side of the vehicle, and it always seems like there's a cop parked just an inch off where you can see him pre-turn, so I always end up hitting him.

They added more "realistic" physics. I think it's alright, so long as you don't drive like a maniac ( )
My friend bought the special edition. The extras are completely worth it. Soundtrack, art book, duffel bag and safety deposit box (so cool) along with the game for $90.

Lol, the best thing is that you can fly through the windshield now. I love it.

I like the new physics. Just not 'front wheels are turned--go straight!' and 'right turn--spin out here!' all the time.

The camera's what bothers me most.

As for the windshield--he always does it! Comes to America, steals cars, puts on a helmet when he steals a bike, but can't figure out the seatbelt.
