It’s here! I have it and I have opinions, let me let you bask in them with me.

 Firstly, it is amazing, since I didn’t even pre-order. I walked into town today at 1 minute to 9, went in, got the last one, walked out, as a rush of to-be-disappointed people followed me in. No queue for me. This is probably cheeky and I concider myself very lucky. Next time, I will pre-order.

As for the game, it is amazing, naturally. I have not had time to do that much, but Ive done the first part and had a nosey aroun the city. The graphics are pretty ace, the little effects and touches are really nice, such as wehn you speed in a car, and the glow on the trees as the sun goes down.

It is a really well designed city too and I enjoyed going around it, where I easily got bored in the past. The characters are more intimate and I like the fact that I have a girlfriend in the game, despite looking like a horses arse. It really is fun, and a lot of realistic features and effects, everywhere.

The HUD is minimalised, so I can concentrate on the game, and the phone is a good idea, I also like the GPS.

I had a breif period online for a while, which was fun, but the other players must have thought I was a complete idiot, but I enjoyed it.

This isn’t a review, I haven’t gone anywhere near as deep as I should, but would I recommend the game? Yes, though probably not to the faint of hearted or the prudish.
