The game is really great. It is massive though. Hopefully there will be a patch for the mouse, reboot, and sound issues. The controversy over the "Hot Coffee" scenes is probably going to make this game fly off of the shelves. The game play took a little getting used to. It isn't as "easy" to manuver as III and VC were. Mostly it took me some time to get used to driving with my left hand instead of my right. I agree about the hints, the only way to get them back is to restart and that sucks. Also I looked around and the cheat codes aren't as friendly as they were in the previous two. I always like to finish the game without them then go back and use them for fun.
Overall I love the game. I think VC was my favorite so far, the story was great and it was much easier to get away with crimes. There are police everywhere in this game, so it isn't easy to steal cars and get away with murder, literally. I can understand Rockstars idea about the AI flipping out when you hit a car, but man it sucks when you're working on a mission or trying to evade police and some idiot pins your car to the wall cause their pissed you hit it.
This game is worth the buy. If you are a fan of the series, then pick it up. If you've never played a GTA before then pick it up and pick up III and VC too.
