well, i don't know why i missed the game when it first came out or in the time since then, but i've now got the game and it's one of the best i've played and is easily the best sandbox game i've played on any gen console.
like most sandbox games, some challenges can and do feel a bit same'E and the sound lets it down in places (swimming sound for 1). but the stunning vistas and exploration make up for most of it's faults.
hats off to the programmers for allowing so many vehicle types in the game and i find myself time and again high up in the clouds just hovering and looking around at the amazing views.
very much looking forward to No2 now.
p.s.
it's the little things that they did not have to add, but thanks for doing so.
night time and a clear sky, look up to the stars and see all the wild life flying about, brilliant.
standing on the top of a mountain i could hear a chopper approaching from the south (5.1 sound in this game is brilliant at times), i looked over the edge at it, it was a few hundred feet below, so i jumped of the mountain and caught hold of the chopper. brilliant.
the rain effect looks and sounds fantastic. at night, fly straight up through the clouds to the clear sky above then look down to see the lightning in the clouds. utter class.
windmills and windmill generators. nice.
the drunk walking around (love his crazy walk) with the bottle in his hand, touch him and he falls over. ;-)
p.p.s.
perhaps a photo mode (challenge for gamer score) so that you can take pictures of all the class/funny stuff in the next game?
