The missions with that rasta bloke really annoy me lol he talks like a right t**t can't understand a word! after playing for a few hours I got a bit better at the driving so its not that bad now... LOADS better than san andreas, that was deffinatly the worst in the Series the mobile phone and sending text messages, ringing up birds and taking them on dates is a nice touch as well also because you have a phone you can ring people up and ask for the next mission rather than just driving round aimlessly waiting for them to ring up and offer them to you. the new stars system is good on this one as well, where you have a circle on the map that you have to exit as legally as possible before you can lose them, and also the squad cars come up as flashing lights so you know where they're coming from. Police do seem a little slower on this one though, also if you get a squad car you can pul people over by driving behind them and then parking up when they stop. the swimming seems to work a lot better on this one as well which is good. all in all its a great game, well worth the hype, just wish i hadn't opened it before the exams, because i'm now going to fail due to obsessive playing lol
