I played for about 45 minutes today. I discovered the beauty of the unlimited health and was finally able to bypass the drive-by gunner mission. I got up to the point where Carl and Ryder go out to start tagging neighborhoods tagged by the Ballas. I stand by what I said yesterday about there being very little choice being involved in the game. So far, the only choices I've been able to make are whether or not to fight back when I'm attacked by other gang members, whether or not to let the police get you when being chased (obviously, doing the RIGHT thing will lead to negative game progress), and whether or not I should highjack a better vehicle for transportation's sake.
Also, I was slightly saddened by Carl's character change when reunited with his "homies." It seemed as though he was living a rather honest lifestyle back on the East Coast, but now he expresses that he wants to stay in Los Santos; he says he "now knew what he was missing," which made my heart sink. I was also slightly surprised by some of the disturbing comments said by pedestrians passing by, such as "have you ever had a pearl necklace?" All that aside, I can still understand why parents don't want their children playing this game. It's extremely violent, crass, and above all, immoral.
