for one, rockstar has BEEN saying for months what the game was gonna be like

and the other thing is...if you want *that* game, play GTA...this is SUPPOSED to be a different type of game, but set in an open world

the fact that the guy who runs team bondi is the guy who ran the development of "the getaway" makes tons of sense to me...this game has some of the feel of that game (and ppl are whining about the same things they did w/ that game)

aside: did "the getaway" basically invent the automatic health regeneration? remember, you had to lean up against something to recover in that one, but its the earliest game i can remember where health wasn't regenerated through "packs" or "food" or what have you...
