For those of us with the game or getting it :)

Have to say had this 40min or so now and its already been more fun then Dead Rising.

The graphics are lovely and the weather effects, changing from day to night etc.. and flying through clouds are so good :D

You can get vehicle drops when needed aswell which is awesome :D

Plus freefalling is great
 
Loved the demo, might see if I can afford this (although not touched the x360 in nearly a week!!)

Got a car to service first though :o
 
So far, i'd say 6.5 out of 10.

Graphically it is a very pretty game (except for the cars and humans), the islands are unbelievably huge and there is plenty to do, if a little repetitive.

The physics do not feel right at all, they're embarassing when compared to the saints row physics system. Head-on collisions at top speed do pretty much nothing to either car, and hitting a tree on a motorbike at what seems to be 100mph will cause the charecter to fly while standing up straight(?!?) and then land as if nothing had happened.
The police are also over-aggressive, accidentally clipping another car will cause a police helicopter to start machinegunning/launching rockets at you within 5 seconds of the accident and there are no easy ways to remove your wanted level (or at least not that i've found) like GTA's spray shop, or saints row's forgive and forget. This, obviously, becomes annoying very quickly :(
 
I think the amount of detail is amazing from high in the sky... you can still see cars and them explode as you fire rockets at them from a chopper! GTA was never like this in my experiance.

Only played the demo mind :D

The gun fights are also good, though the constant need of changing camera angle can get a tad annoying :p
