Played it for about 3 hours last night... the game is an absolute 10!

Initial impressions:
1. Love the driving physics. Makes for a better challenge.
2. The cops are way more agressive. I wound up getting a 6 star rating unintentionally within the first five minutes of playing. I sort of forgot the difference between L1 and the right and left arrow pad. Ah oops!!!
3. The envelope has been pushed even further than ever. The language factor even turned me a bit at times and I was alone. How cool is that?!
4. My only gripe is that sometimes I find it hard to hear what Nico and Roman are saying. Their speech is a little slured in my opinion.

Overall worth the wait.

Oh, did anyone watch the tv in Roman's appartment yet? That show "I'm Rich" is fucking hilarious!!
