How come you get six stars when you go to the other islands? I mean, I know you aren't allowed to go there at the beginning, but what is the reason for that? I think I missed it.
There is a terrorist alert on, hence the six stars and the cops going bonkers!!!

Thanks for the replies fellas. I thought I heard something about terrorists on the radio, but I seem to have missed the whole bit about the islands being blocked off because of it! 
I managed to find a boat actually. It was a pretty good one too! I found it in the river/bit of water between the two sections of the first island (I guess the first island is actually two islands). It was parked at a jetty on the lower island.

Dicky Snapples idk about you, but is'nt the point to play a game to escape realism? I think all these titles making their games realisic, just makes the game more hard, frustrating, boring and slow. Well thats my opinion any way, don't get me wrong, in a sports game, fair enough, but GTA was made famous and gained all the attention for being, fast and highly unrealistic which made it so damn FUN in the first place.
A game were you could kill a bunch of people and drive of with a frenzy of cops behind you, now, you get shot a few times and you die before you get in a car. Thats not fun at all.
BTW with the ps3, you can spawn a helicopter with the cheats so I flew over the islands. They definately all look very small from an ariel view, San Andreas was definately much larger but not as detailed. It will be fantastic if they revisit San Andreas on the ps3 in a future title, and make it even better like they did with Librety city. |

I tend to agree. I preferred being slightly more invincible in previous titles. I'm getting killed with only a one star rating sometimes in this game just because them damn cops only need about 5 shots to kill me. But in other GTAs I'd never get killed with one star and not usually even with two stars. The cover system is great but when you're in the middle of the road with cops on all angles, its hard to find any cover. I just think they've gone a bit too far with the realism. Sure, make it more realistic, but not to the extent that its frustrating!

Its not that bad, strap on an armoured vest grab an AK-47 and a fist full of grenades and you can hold out for quite a while. |

Yeah I guess I'm speaking a little soon... I'm yet to come across armoured vests, so hopefully they come up soon! I spose I'm still getting used to the controls as well.

On a similar note though, I love the way that you can lose your wanted level by driving out of the "circle" and lying low for a while. At least now you have a chance of losing a three star wanted level, something I could never do in the previous games (was it even possible?)

Managed to get one pigeon so far and i've done 3 of the 50 stunt jumps. I'll have a look later as to what percentage i'm on. Last mission i did was "search and delete" then just went for a drive round, bought some molotov cocktails and went a bit mad lol
