I tried going back to the single player of this tonight, and realise quite why I drifted away from it, I appear to be most craptacular. I'm on the mission ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! Tips? |

Have a good escape car ready. Then RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN. Then DRIIIIIIIIIVE. And make sure it isn't night. God damnit. Why doesn't GTA4 have a level select? I want to play that level NOW. |

I just pegged it straight out of the hospital, jumped in a car, and fucked off. Didn't shoot a single copper. |

I'll give it another go later. I was getting slightly annoyed at when re-trying having to drive my arse all the way back over there because Roman wouldn't give me a bloody taxi. |

There's plenty of health and armour pickups in there, so make sure you grab 'em before running in case you have trouble getting into a car. |

Hello chap, I've just trawled through the thread to find the advice that everyone else gave me when I was stuck on that mission - hope this helps. It's from the spoiler tag where I say 'STUPID FUCKING MISSION' onwards. |

Thats the mission I found hardest in the game. I completed it by running out the hospital and jumping into the sea, where a speed boat is waiting for you. |

Ooooh! If true this is awesome! http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/23/rumor-gta-iv-dlc-brings-quarantine-zombies/ Due to an advert on the rockstar site people are guessing/hoping that the DLC features a Zombie Outbreak. Yes. Fucking. Please. Thats not a new island or anything - but that is awesome. Gets a lot of added weight when there is this video of somebody unlocking a Zombie in multiplayer ("DLC" assets on disk again  But then Zombies so conflicted.....) |

I've only just ventured back onto Xbox Live for the first time in weeks, so this might be old news. I can't see it mentioned here, though, so it's probably worth mentioning. An "Xbox Originals" download of GTA: San Andreas is now up for 1200 Points. It does seem to be eversoslightly polished/fixed for running on the 360, and it loading from the HD is a nice improvement on the original's loading times. All perfectly moot if you're still able to play the original version, but for me having just completed GTA4 and starting to get a bit bored of the online modes, owning a copy of the game only on the PS2 but also owning a comprehensively knackered PS2, this is a very good thing. It'll certainly help to pass the time until the DLC comes along. |

You can pick up pretty much every "Original" for less that what 1200 points will run you in your local GameStation, though. And a DVD doesn't waste a huge chunk of disk space. |

San Andreas remains the daddy. I found an old tape I made of me pissing around in it - using the crane and the import ship, I loaded a car onto the back of a truck and then attempted to drive it from the docks in San Fierro to my safehouse in Las Venturas. This is a game where you can steal an airliner, crash it into the Transamerica Pyramid, escape the police by hijacking a train, stop the train in the desert, have a gunbattle in a ghost town before scrambling through Area 51 to a small airfield to jump into a Harrier and have a dogfight over the Las Vegas strip. While dressed as a pimp. |

I shudder to think what the achievements in San Andreas would have been. I shudder even further when I realize that I almost certainly have 'earned' most of them given the amount of time I put into the PS2 and Xbox versions. Max every girlfriend? Done. Conquer every single territory in Los Santos? Yes. WILLINGLY PLAY THE DANCING MINIGAME? Unfortunately so. |

They've missed a trick by not adding Acheeevos to Xbox originals. They could have made a fortune off Dimrill alone. |

Remember that GTA IV is the first game with a new engine. I expect by the time they've done two more games using RAGE that it'll be as expansive as San Andreas. |

Is the map as big as San Andreas, though? Three huge cities, with huge expanses of countryside in between? Can you steal combine harvesters? Trains? Tractors? RVs? |

Map isn't as big, no, and there's little to no countryside. No combines or trains, but yes to tractors, JCBs, RVs and planes. |

San An, in the new Engine, with Achievements. Piece of piss, surely? Dev time to quillins of pounds ratio should be in their favour for this one. I'd pay £75 for it. |
