It's a very awesome game indeed, I broke down and bought it the day it came out when I went to target to buy food.
I've only played it sparingly because I have to bust my nuts for a bunch of finals and here at Iowa we don't have a dead week so I basically have classes up until 2 days before finals begin = new material on top of most classes being cumulative....
I've barely gotten past the point where shit goes down with Vlad (not to air in spoilers for those who don't have it yet)
I think it's ridiculously awesome that you fly off of cars and motorcyles and it really does take some skill to drive the car.... Also I love how Niko throws the gears so hard in the banshee that sparks come of the transmission.
I really like the weapon mechanics in the game between auto aim and free-aim although I've been trying to find to just completely turn auto aim off because it's a pain in the ass to depress the left trigger just enough to pull out your free aim.
The ragdoll death mechanics are absolutely hilarious, there's nothing like hitting someone at full speed and watching them temporarily travel with before theier velocity decreases and they flop and roll on the ground.
Great game this is definitely Rock Star's Mona Lisa; it's going to be very difficult for them to surmount this achievement... It just gained Halo status and thus every free-roaming game type will forever be compared to GTA IV and every following GTA game will be compared against GTA IV and dubbed insufficient.... hah
