Awesome things from the review
360 DLC is apparently 10 hours long.
Your ingame mobile creates radio interference.
Thunder Storms.
The Stooges on the soundtrack.
In some missions you have to decide who lives and dies. 'more time agonising over one particularly tough choice than we did over harvesting Bioshock's little sisters'
Headshot drivers who fall on the horn and the accelerator.
In one screenshot, I count 21 cars at a set of traffic lights, and I can't see behind.
Achievement for assasination missions called 'Assassin's Greed'
About the mobile
'You start out with Roman's cast-off mobile, good only for text and calls, but a later upgrade is much more useful. You're sent photos of assassination targets, can snap photos of your own to check on any police car computer, and can buy new ringtones and themes from your computer'
Cabs
'Being able to take cabs everywhere is a huge time-saver. albeit not cheap. The authentic view of the back of the dirver's head and the city through the window...'
Grumbles (pre-final build):
'Cover system stumbling in box-filled environments'
'Slightly over-enthusiastic target lock-on'
'The occasional pop-up'

Very interesting, now for the rest to start trickling in....

Well well, a perfect score. I hope OXM knows what they are doing, because my hype is going through the roof now. Oh well two more weeks, and we'll find out for ourselves.
Why so low?10/10
Sounds jaw-dropping.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT
HOLY FUCKING SHIT

I'm gonna be so glad I did that whole media blackout thing with this game.
In the review it says that Microsoft has confirmed that the DLC will be at least 10 hours long and that Rockstar's goal is to "fry the xbox live servers". :lol

I wish all reviews were done after a game releases so that people in the media could soak in everything a game has to offer. Instead we get people rushing through a game so they can have the first exclusive 10 out of 10 review. I am of course being utterly unrealistic.

So I guess the OXM reviewers will be hiding for giving it such a low score :D
But seriously, more positive things I havent read about before. 15 more days!

I'm not going to get my hands on a copy until 19th May... stupid holiday to Thailand!
Sounds epic, everything that should have been asked off a next-gen (sorry...current-gen) GTA game.

Still, partial megaton if true.
This game is motivating me to do more work now so I can block off time for it..I needs it!
Is that Iggy Pop and the stooges?
Who gives a shit about any pop up. Has there ever been an open world game that didn't have some form of pop up?

so you'd rather wait 1 to 2 months after release before you buy any game? assuming you use reviews to help you decideOriginally Posted by Bearillusion

Well it wouldn't take long for the skin to start to get irritated, depending on if there is lotions or not.
I think it's great, minimalistic & VERY small.Originally Posted by Himuro

The hud looks like it hasn't changed at all. And its still auto lock-on.... can you turn that off? I don't want the game aiming for me, I'm more than capable of using an analogue stick.
will the dlc be just story missions or new cars/areas and stuff? Also, anyone have a pic with the HUD?

My problem is the gun icon. It's not nearly as stylish as the ones in the past. It looks...plain. :(Originally Posted by N.A

Well, of course it's glowing. It's the type of series that is going to get 10/10 across the board. The real thing are the details that tell us about the gameplay.Originally Posted by Opus Angelorum
