I've played it for a bit and I've got to say that I'm honestly not all that impressed. Maybe it was all the hype building up my expectations to unrealistic levels but it's just not hooking me like previous GTA games.

I've only played for a little over 5 hours but there are a few complaints I have. The frequent phone calls are fairly annoying, especially when I'm driving and listening to a song I like. My big ocmplaint though is the new handling of the cars... I mean it feels like they handle worse than actual cars! It might just be that I still need to get used to it but I really miss how GTA3, Vice City, and San Andreas handled driving.

These are fairly minor complaints all in all though. The game is still very enjoyable, just not nearly as fun as I was lead to believe. My only hope is that it gets better as time goes on because the GTA franchise is one of my favorites.
