I didn't even know there was a playground on the beach. I guess I didn't explore well enough.

I love this game. I'm taking a bit of a break from it so I can wait for some good FAQ's to come out so I can 100%... I would just buy a strategy guide for this game but I can't seem to find it anywhere >_>

Wow, that's pretty sweet. They did a much better job than I was expecting recreating LC.

I really like that, its almost amazingly incredible that all they did was take LC from 4 and turn it into a birdseye, scaled down graphics view of everything. I LOVE IT!

My favorite bit was the "Here Be Dragons" sign. Rockstar needs to patch GTA IV so we get that.

Rockstar did a wonderful job cramming in Liberty city onto the DS, I can't wait until I get this game!

That is really impressive. I wish all DS games looked like this.

I've noticed a few familiar sights too as i've been driving around. The attention to detail really is impressive. I thought GTA:CTW was going to be dumbed down too. It wasn't the case!!
