But here are the revision notes for anyone who may have recently awoken from a coma: you're a career criminal in a fictional city (although one that's clearly inspired by a real-life metropolis) filled with people and vehicles, any of which you can kill/drive (delete as appropriate). Unless you've been squatting in a Saddam-style hidey-hole for the past ten years, I'm going to assume you know what the GTA games are all about. But now I wish I'd had the patience to wait that half a year, because after spending time with this version I'd much rather be playing San Andreas through for the first time on my PC. Quickly jump into Ryder’s vehicle, as the employee will chase you out of the store, and drive back to Ryder’s house to finish the mission.As Proud PC gamers, you may feel a little aggrieved to be reading this review now, rather than nine months ago when this game first reared its tabloid-baiting head on the PlayStation 2.1 myself crumbled in typical lily-livered fashion, holding out until around last Christmas, at which time I decided that I couldn't wait another half a year for a game that all and sundry were raving about.

This causes the person behind the counter to pull out a shotgun, making you hurry out of the building. While “eating” your meal (you don’t actually eat it), Ryder comes in and holds up the place. If you wish to know more about these stats, visit the Statistics page. You can press the L1 button to view CJ’s stats, which shows how much Respect, Stamina, Muscle, Fat and Sex Appeal he has currently. When you eat, you gain energy but eat too much and you will become fat. The red bar shows how much energy you have. If you do not eat, you will lose weight and eventually energy. Now’s a good time to talk about energy, your health, and CJ’s build. Pick a cheap haircut, then leave the barber to get ridiculed by Ryder, with him telling you to go over to the pizza place to “pack on a few pounds.” Go inside and approach the marker, where you will be able to order a meal. If you haven’t done anything else since starting the game, you should still only have $350 on you, meaning your options are limited for your haircut, if you even want one and the fact a few of the options cost more than that. Drive over to the marker on your map and head inside the barber, then approach the marker to sit in the chair and see a list of options for your haircut.
