    Can anybody clarify the game play time? Also, is there free roam and achievements?

    You can free roam around Liberty City. No achievements

    I'm guessing liberty city is the city in the game? (I've never owned a gta game before, only played on one)

    This has truly raised the bar. I don't think you could argue that these aren't legitimate gaming devices anymore. Hopefully other devs will rise to the challenge.

    Ok, I have a question.

    Is there a way to randomize your own music? I've had 3 play sessions and each time it runs through the songs alphabetically. I might as well listen to the in-game music if I just have to listen to the same songs, in the same order every time I play the game.

    It's just you since you JUST joined and that was your first comment.
    And I think Da Shiz Wiz 19 said this "graphics don't make the game"

    You could listen to How The West Was Won and it wouldn't matter :)

    I looked at my playlist, and what it does, is play your music in order on the playlist... Also unlike previous GTAs, the music doesn't keep playing after you exit a vehicle. So it pauses and doesn't play again till you get back in. The custom radio on there sucks bad. It took over 25 mins before I heard the next song... You are better off turning off the radio and playing your music from the iPod.

    This game is amazing!
    I have spent the past hour just driving around, aimlessly.
    The city is just so lively and full of character, you don't get bored.
    The attention to detail and quality is also outstanding.
    I defiantly recommend this to anyone (over the age of 17 of course ;))

    Ah come on, I never hated the idea, just most of the execution. Rockstar have proven it can be done properly now, but if no one follows suit I'm still gonna complain :p

    Has anyone played the Hobotron minigame in Colony Island? It's pretty much exactly like Minigore.

    Yeah, I don't mind that it doesn't keep playing, it's just the complete lack of randomness, in my playlist's case, it plays Anthrax/Aesop Rock/The Beatles/Beck, and so on. Hope they either offer some sort of fix for that, or because I'm dumb I figure out that you could do it from the beginning.

    whoever said there weren't achievements is wrong. For the drug trading you get these things for achieving certain criteria like a pill box or a safe. its all in your house.

    idk, can anyone say if free roam is as fun as it is in other GTA's? So far i've just been doing missions, and it's amazing.

    i also really like the mini game stuff they have, like the lottery. won $700 lol.

    this also makes me want to play the GTA for the PSP, i loved how i had HQ's or whatever and i had a gang. what's the deal for chinatown? never played it on the DS.

    Runs fantastic on a 1st gen touch, must've been a mistake on their part in the app store settings ... hopefully they'll fix that soon.

    For now, GEETEEAY ON MY IPOD WOOH!
