Totally agree with 'Hawk.
Brilliant in virtually every way. I just love lurking around in built up areas and watching the folks go about their everyday lives. The saloon in Armadillo is excellent for this. One night in Mexico I actually watched a guy get so drunk he staggerd into a campfire and burnt himself to death!
I once killed 42 grizzlies up in Tall Trees in a single sitting - I must have been right in their spawn point. I found it was best to use the semi-automatic shotgun on them, and give them two shots to the head at close range while using the slo-mo option. Worked well for me. Made a packet by selling the fur, claws etc in Mexico. Cougars are a nightmare. If you don't hear them before they attack you are pretty much dead.
So much to do, and so much to see. Fantastic. I've forgotten the number of times I have watched a sunset/sunrise and been totally mesmerized by the sheer beauty of the visuals. The thunderstorms are easily the best I have ever seen in any game.
And the great thing is when you have "completed" the game you can still go on playing. 140 hours plus now - talk about value for money.
I bought the X-box version. My box is attached to a 17" flat screen and the visuals were nice and crisp. I saw the PS3 version round a mate's on some massive HDTV and the graphics were blocky and indistinct, with less grass detail etc. Not as good as X-box in my opinion.
Whichever version you get you are in for a treat. Could not be more highly recommended. Get it - now!
Regards,
Mike
