Couple hours in and...

1.) Ragdoll physics and graphics in general are fantastic. Has the classic GTA feel, yet seems WAY more polished and "heavy" (Characters/cars/etc.) Seem to have a realistic weight in the game, no uber-flying corpses (Unless you get lucky, which is a sight to see with this physics engine)

2.) Story so far is beyond engrossing, I really do feel like a disenfranchised Eastern-bloc immigrant with no cash whose been decieved by his cousin - I'm literally giddy as to find out how I move up from a slum-infested cab driver to taking over Liberty City.

3.) I can tell just from a couple hours this game is CHOCK FULL of stuff to do. I will be sand-boxing the hell out of GTA4 for a long, long time.

4.) The story/playstyle is so much more conducive to a high-production value title that no one should deny themselves from this game. Even if its to just rent it and play through the story which people have been comparing to epic movies of olde.

Yeah, this game is fantastic. The only thing that I don't like is that the new physics engine makes it a little less to run over civillians. I miss flattening peds.
