I'm finished the main story and up to 74.5%.

All I've got left are half the racing missions, half of stevie's cars, the stunt jumps, pigeons and vigilante missions. Or so i think.

I also held up some dudes in a Rav4 looking thing, I got the two in front out at gunpoint and went around the side to the guy in the backseat. He was jamming out with his headphones on and I stood there with the gun pointed at his head for about 5 seconds before he noticed I was there. I think he probably crapped his pants, the look on his face was hilarious
also, if you are on the phone and you get hit by a car you drop your cell phone.

Yes the fact that he says "Star" made me know he wasn't white or black pretending to be Jamaican because Americans don't really know Jamaicans say Star all the time in reference to people.

Finally got my hands on a copy this past weekend.

Damn is this game fun!

I love how the cars get damaged differently each time. I still wish that the game remembered stuff you did recently. For example, I was driving along, purposely caused a pileup on the freeway, drove a little further and turned around to slam into the pileup, but it was magically gone.

if you really want to damage your car take it off the ramps on the freeway, you will hit all types of shit and sometimes the car wont even run full speed or turn over

Speaking of incredible feets I managed to do a 630 foot drop and not die, I landed on my legs and survived it was incredible.

The building I jumped off of was in Alcongquin (sp?) there is a lift on the back of the building that takes you several stories high about 55 or so, then you get off and climb the ladder up to the top of the building and face West, and jump. I did that running jump and managed to land near the dumpster of the building across the street, I think the fact that my body was up against the buidling at the final 20 feet kind saved me. I don't know I thought I was going to die but I didn't, and now I have a 630ft. drop recorded.

Yeah, the game is really weird about remembering what is behind you.

I could be looking down the street and see NO cars at all. Turn around 180 degrees and get hit by a car. Turn around 180 degrees again and see a whole shitload of cars lined up.

Along those lines, sometimes I will be driving down the street and pass a nice car parked on the side of the road. I stop my car, get out and run back to were the car was and it is gone...

My 360 is broken still.... I need to remember to call them when they're open

I like causing pile-ups on the freeway... point a gun at people and they get scared and ditch their cars.... thenstart shooting at people's cars way in the back of the line, and then throw a molotov or a grenade at the pile. Pure carnage

The game is still buggy though.... sometimes you point a gun at someone in a car, then shoot them in the head before they try to get out.... promptly after which they'll drop dead.

If your 360 is dead try the towel trick.

Also on the freeway catch one car on fire and then watch a huge chain reaction its AWESOME.

You CAN finish the game at 60%, but not necessarily. I am past 70%, and am still not finished. I am doing alot of the side missions though.

I pretty sure I am on the verge of finishing though!

Spoiler question (in white):
What am I supposed to do on the bike and the ramp? I keep jumping into the water! Am I supposed to jump the bike onto the boat or the helicopter?

trick is to split lanes and not over compensate with steering. so when you doge one car on your right, do not immediately move the joystick left and right rapidly, you will lose control and flip your shit. all the cars disapear when you enter the city
