That\'s the problem, we compare it with GTA and it\'s a different game. With a better gameplay, it would be a very cool game.

The missions are very good, once completed the free roam mode gets fairly boring.

Hah ! they must \'ave improved the USA version becuz our PAL
version was very nice still very unpolished (glitchy and a bit unbalanced) The game scores 85 outta 100 in my book though.

Yes there is, you do the first 12 missions as Mark Hammond (bad guy) and the second 12 as a plain clothed detective. Once completed you can go back and re-do any mission you like or just play the newly unlocked free roam mode.

I got it today, and my impressions are thus:-

The graphics are spot on, though there is some slowdown in places. The missions are a lot harder that GTAVC.......I only finished the first one, the mission where you have to torch the restaurant is giving me a bit \'o jip. I spent most of my time on it this afternoon just driving round in a bus.

One area they could have made an improvement on is in including an in game map of some sort, or failing that, a simple compass that appears with the click of a button for 5 or 10 seconds or so. I found myself just driving round not knowin what direction I was going in.

But the indicators tell you exactly how to get to where you are going

I think they work perfectly.

I\'m not talking about that, I meant when you want to just drive around. If you wanted to try and find a certain landmark, you are up shit creek if you are not familiar with the back streets of London. Without at least knowing which way is north, you don\'t know whether you are coming or going. I managed to catch a glimpse of Big Ben out of the corner of my eye, so I had some idea of how to get to (for instance) Buckingham Palace. Whereas if I wanted to find my way there from scratch, I wouldn\'t have a clue where I was going.
