I'm now up to the point where I have access to the second big island and I'm loving the game. The driving seems to be much more challenging with shit cars but smooth as fuck with top class motors; a change that I really like. The amount of times I'm getting corners wrong and not turning enough or turning too much must be well into the thousands by now though.

They seem to have gotten rid of a lot of the annoying, time wasting shit from San Andreas too. The text message to re-do a mission is one great addition and the hailing of cabs and getting Roman to send you a car is great. I've been doing this loads inthe last few days and my productivity has boomed. Skipping around the city in no time at all by cab just going from job to job, bitch to home, social meet to home etc. Great stuff.

I also like the little bits of variety they are putting into it. I got asked if I really wanted to kick someone off a building and that my decision would have ramifications; bit gutted I did it actually because I showed loyalty to the guy I had to kill in the next mission: weak.

I'm not going multi-player until I've completed it I reckon. Not sure why, I just think it's the right way to go.
