It is easier to drive with the bonnet cam, but then I feel oblivious to what's going on around me. In the end I've just settled on the two default cameras, they give the best mixture of control and being able to see a good portion of the world.

I stopped a bit for the footy. Don't really want to burn out on it in one night.

I like it but I'm not blown away. I've seen nothing that wasn't in previous GTA games so far. Framerate isn't great and the graphics are just ok.

Bloody good fun though! And I'm assuming it picks up a lot soon. Darts is fun, too.

AND I haven't even touched multiplayer yet. It's the game that just keeps on giving!

Just played for the first time and its awesome. It's just like being in a movie!

One question - I notice the game autosaves at various points but to save the game whilst playing, do you always have to return to the house or is there anothr option(s)?

The lighting is up there with the best of them but I think a lot of the reasons the graphics look so good are thanks to clever camera tricks. Considering it's an open world game I guess they're pretty awesome.

..especially when you compare it with what we've become used to from previous GTA games. Its definitely surpassed my expectations.

I just wish you could take screenshots.

Yeah I'm sure in early previews they said you can take shots with your camera. And at the start the guy says you'll get a better one soon, so maybe you'll be able to take pics with the new phone.

If anyone has any advice for driving other than 'use the bonnet cam' I'd be very grateful. I'm ok at low to medium speeds, but at high speeds I just can't take corners. I failed that one where you chase the laundry guy three times, I just ended up getting lucky when he crashed into another car and his car flipped. The brake doesn't help much and the handbrake just turns me round 180 degrees. I usually just end up taking my finger off the accelerator before coming to a corner.

Keep checking the mini-map so you aren't steering last minute. You can't take corners fast, especially in shit cars, so just break early and accelerate through the corner.

I always use the handbreak, but just gently tap it for the most part. Use it early and turn way before you'd expect, and you should spin around at 90 degrees, lined up perfectly for the corner. Takes some practice, and you should probably still slow down a *little* beforehand, but it's fab once mastered.

Thats what I was kind of hoping for.. I noticed a stat in the options that mentions Photos Taken

All I can really suggest is, brake early, take them slow and steady and avoid Muscle cars until you are used to the handling... Try and find a car like a Sentinel to help you get used to it, they handle quite well and are pretty nippy (just avoid cornering at top speeds)

Then how do I connect to the wireless network?

You know.. like the £180 Wii does for FREE. Alongside it's FREE Online.

Ah, well, yes you'll need a wireless adapter to connect to a wireless network. But you could get online with a cable between 360 and router

Can you get GTA4 on the Wii? No.

Then buy a PS3 with free wireless connection.

Wait, it's still more.

Why don't you get in a real car and attempt to take similar corners at high speeds. I am having "issues" with it but I put it down to the fact that I am simply going too fast.
