It looks like the 360 version does run at 720p. The PS3 employs additional "effects" to make the overall visual quality about equal. Both versions have very slight differences, but you would really have to look for them.

I may have to get it...I liked GTA3 a lot, but never could get into the newer ones. Don't know if it's because I've aged a bit (am now 22 as opposed to 17) or because they just aren't fun.

The porches and Ferrari's are WAY better in this game. I remember in san andreas if you hit like 3 things they would blow up.

Manhattan is so serious, I love the wide streets!

I wasn't expecting much from the multiplayer, but I just spent about 5 hours in it without noticing it. When people work to geather for a goal of somesort in the free roam mode it's allot of fun. It reminds me a bit of midtown madness 3 with guns. I loved that game on xbox live.

You have a choice whether to kill him or not. It's one of many choices in the game. Depending on what you choose, it changes the future missions/potential missions later in the game. I peeked at the end of the guide, and there are two distinct endings, each with three missions.


And from how far some of you have gotten, I think I've been dicking around too much. I'm only at the mission where you go after Ivan. But now that I know Katt Williams is on the TV, I'm going to have to watch more to see him . The best car I've seen/gotten is the Coquette (handles for shit like the exotics/supercars usually do).

I let him live but you can kill him if you want. Just remember your actions have consequences later in the game.

I let him live as well. They game is going to offer players quite a few "moral" situations where you choose and it effects the story. If you let Ivan live then I believe it opens an additional quick mission later on in the game, but doesn't really effect the story.

The next mission with Roman will give you some resolution with the Vlad situation.
