I went home for lunch and played for about an hour, so I'll post some things I noticed in the game.
-There is a plastic surgeon you can go to and completely change the look of your character (same UI as the create a character at the beginning).
-The clothing store is available in the demo, and there were actually a decent amount of options. It appears that there is a meter that rates how much "gang related" clothing you are wearing. Basically, if you wear a bunch of purple stuff, the meter will raise.
-The cars are awesome. I've already seen a pretty good variety of vehicles, and I'm sure there will be plenty more in the retail version. They all have great detail and they just look awesome. I've already driven a few cars with spinner wheels, which really make good use of the physics engine. Also little things, like stuff hanging from the rearview use the physics engine also.
-I went to the convenient store and bought a 40 oz, Gin and Juice, and some bubbly. I also bought a Spliff, a Blunt, and a Bong. I took a rip off the bong (full animation included) the screen got hazy and I carried on with my carjacking while stoned. I forgot to try the other stuff.
Overall the game is a blast. So far I think I like every aspect of this game better than GTA, with the exception of the story, which isn't bad, it's just that we're comparing it to GTA here. The story seems to actually be taking a more serious approach, as opposed to the humor found in GTA.
I'll post more if I can think of anything else you guys might like to know. Also, feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.
