I've been playing this on 360 and have to say it's a pretty decent game. Not as good as GTA IV or even Saints Row 2 from a gameplay perspective, but it is very storyline heavy and it's impotant to the style of this game.
I think it gets compared to GTA4 ect because its set in a sandbox environment which is misleading as its a linear story based game like Uncharted and as that it works very well, as a sandbox game its just a bit meh.
No I didn't buy any of the DLC last time around, but think I will take a chance this time. Should fill some of the gap until LA Noire.
I think I will too - £6.29 for Joes Adventure sounds like a good deal. 8 hours of gameplay for a game I know I love, with new cars and a few new locations. Got to be worth it.
Still - I have a 150 odd wanted posters to find first!

:eek: Thats pretty decent if I had of known it was that long I may have given them a go, but I traded it quick while I could still get more money than I paid for it.
Good valued DLC, now that's a rarity :rolleyes:
Good luck with the wanted posters, I found that extremely tedious on this game.

I am gonna need it:D
I do love the city etc. though, so it wont be as bad as some collection trophies
Got it from CEX for £20 using store credit. I'm up to chapter 3 and at the part where you drop that chick off at the hospital then gotta steal from a building but i keep getting caught after emptying the safe. I've notice quite a bit of screen tearing but nothing unplayable.

You need to find the basement after you take out the 3 guards, you can disable the alarm from the basement.
Got the platinum at the weekend. The wanted posters took some time, but as I said, I do enjoy the city etc. so it wasn't too bad. Quite an inventive way of getting all the developers in the game really.
I can't find the Betrayal of Jimmy dlc on the disc anywhere. Can someone let me know where it is? I think the issue may be that I started playing the game on a rental disc from lovefilm, but then went ahead and got a copy from shopto. Should there be a dlc redemption code in the box?
I also purchased Joes adventures. Only have a quick blast, but it seems great so far.

I got a redemption code. It had betrayal of Jimmy and couple of other bits and bobs e.g. different clothes. After downloading the betrayal of jimmy is now on the main menu.

Thanks - Is it in the manual? I looked but couldn't see it.
Can any one help? I am stuck on chapter 9 where I have to tail someone. I have been told to bring a gun and a fast car. What I need to know is, is it even possible to catch this guy in my regular car or is the twist to steal a car. Maybe I'm just not driving fast enough but no matter how many times I have tried, the guy just gets away.
What's really annoying is the save point. Its set just after speaking with the boss in the restaurant and just before I walk out of the hotel to get in my car. I have to drive all the way to Freddy's, then begin the chase. Every time I lose him I have to go back to the hotel and drive all the way to Freddys again before I can even attempt a tail.
Is this deliberate do you think, so I will have an opportunity to steal a better car, or just bad design by the developers. I'm playing it on the easiest level, but I would appreciate some advice, in a spoiler of course.

Hope that helps
That's not what I did at all.
I climbed through the window in to the toilet, opened the back door, went upstairs, found the managers office, went to the safe room, opened the safe, set off the alarm, killed three guards, ran down stairs and killed two others or cops, then ran out the previously left open door and over the fence.

Downloaded this today as its one of the free games on PS+ for this month & I'm enjoying it. How long roughly does it take to complete the story? Hoping it'll last til GTA V is released

About 10 hours, its not a long game but if you get into the story and characters and the era it's set in, it's a very enjoyable 10 hours. I've played it thru quite a few times and love it.
You can get about 15-20 hours out of the game if you go for Platinum and as with all sandbox games the time it takes to finish does vary on how much you get distracted in the world.

Order it from tesco. £25 but you get 20% off as well. So it only costs £20.
Just got mine this morning, had a quick go but need to work. But looking forward to playing it all over again.
did you play the dlc last time??? Is Joe's Adventure worth a punt?

It was in my box behind the instruction manual.
Cheers fella - will check again tonight.

Guess I did it the hard way.
No trophy for you then

Getting it for free is simply.... I'm speechless
Enjoy
