How many can you save there, as many as you can fit?

I accidentally saved a car there by having the two front wheels on the yellow line.

It seems to fit about two cars.

It's only big enough for one car. Don't know about bikes.

I've had two cars in there. A Corvette and a Cop car.

Enjoying this so far - nice and atmospheric, brilliant presentation and attention to detail, and the cars handle wonderfully: they feel more believable than the flimsy things you threw around in GTAIII, and they have a real sense of weight behind them - lovely.

Not tried multiplayer yet, but I'm always open to invites. :(

I can't get into a cab. I hail it, but then Niko just smashes the driver's face into the wheel and nicks it.

Hold Y, don't tap it.

It says this in small box in the top left-hand corner of the screen.

''Hold Y to enter the Taxi as a passenger''

Can anyone with the 360 version confirm whether this is true or not?

"In the process of making our GTA 4 comparison video we've noticed one major difference between the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game - there is no full-screen video mode for in-game TV in the Xbox 360 version.

We're not sure why - maybe it's because the video files could be stored in higher quality on the Blu-ray disc - but there is an option to watch TV shows in full screen (well, as near as) in the PS3 version of GTA 4. This feature is missing from the Xbox 360 version, with the player forced to view what's on the box in a small viewing area.

It's not a massive blow to the Xbox 360, but some of the short TV shows are certainly worth a look and we'd much rather watch them in full screen rather than strain our eyes viewing the smaller Xbox 360 version."

I must admit that I didn't even know the PS3 version could display this in full screen. :(

They call that a major difference?

Balls.

Also, them straining their eyes....bullshit, unless their tv is 4 inches wide.

Yeah, I know. I was quite happily watching the TV as it is (PS3 version) even with my atrocious eyesight. This is a pretty nice but miniscule addition.

The 360 version flicks between a close-ish view of the TV, and a shot where Niko is in the frame in the foreground. Didn't spot a full-screen option.

How do you shave and get a wash? Also, how do you find new clothes shops, just stumble upon them then they show up on the radar for good?

There's a shop just down from your safehouse. Not found anymore yet. I'd imagine you can just stumble across them. I found the internet cafe quite early on but it's only just been 'introduced' when Brucie turned up.

Whoa, I was just doing one of the first missions and had to lose the cops (two stars). Somehow I managed to get on some railtracks that went up and over to the other island. Halfway across, after losing the cops about 5 minutes earlier (was trying to get off the bloody tracks!), I get a sudden 6-star rating and they're all over me, flying above.

Quick question, how are we supposed to connect our game to the social club?

Gamertag. The option is in edit profile on Social Club.

GTA4 is pretty good! I've been enjoying the few hours I have spent with the game.

I'm not a massive fan of the series, although I have bought and played III, VC & SA to completion.

Yeah its good, same old with a few bells and whistles.

Agreed. It's good, but the actual gameplay is pretty much the same as all the others. The world it's set in is great and everything, but it doesn't really change much in the end, it just makes it more atmospheric and believable. The locations are incredibly nice though. I really hope there's a mission set at the fair, it'd be a shame if that location were wasted.

How easy is the darts? Surely they could have come up with something a bit better than that, lol.

I just approached the cops on a bridge and got 6 stars before I even got very close to them. They take their job very seriously.
