* The taxi driver will play a significant roll into the gameplay. If Niko wants to go to point B, from point A, on the map, he can take the ride with just a push of a button.
* This time, taxi-driver will fulfill some special wishes. If Niko is hungry, the Yellow Cab will drive him to the next Food restaurant. If Niko is hurt, then the taxi-driver will drive to the hospital. So, each place is reachable by taxi in a few seconds.
* Though, you can't take the taxi ride, while police are after you.
* Police will appear on the map as 'dots', while they are on search for you.
* Niko Bellic uses his mobile phone and the Internet, on regular basis.
* On the street of LC, the reporters saw - Ferrari, Volkswagen Jetta, BMWs, Mustangs, delivery vans, SUV's, garbage truck.
* Niko mobile phone is a phone, messenger, Organizer, photo camera and GPS - all in one.
* The map will have GPS, which shows you the best way (will be colored in Yellow) towards your target.
* Improved target system with different hitzone.
* The girl, on the artwork with lollipop, is named Lola and she is available for special hours.
* There will be no Ammu Nation shops anymore.
* The girl with the lollipop is called Lola. It seems that she is a prostitute, but no further information is given about her.
* If you take a cab you can mark any point on the map in order to arrive there. There are even special options: If you have have hunger, you will be driven to the next fast food restaurant. If you’re hurt you’ll be driven to the hospital.
* If the police searches you, you won’t find a cab that will transport you.
* The camera is now positioned lower and more left when you sit in a car. According to Rockstar this gives a more realistic feeling. But there are still different camera settings.
* If you’re in a mission, the map not only shows a symbol, but even a line with the best route.
* You can walk, run or sprint. Latter will make you exhausted after a while.
* In the mission where you have to kill the Lawyer Mr. Goldberg there is a dialogue between him and Niko (after Niko pulled out his gun). Goldberg says: “I don’t fear guns. You know, guns don’t kill people - Videogames kill people.”
* The following shootout with the police is one of the best ever in a GTA-game according to the magazine. You have to cover and shoot while things fly through the room from the bullets. One policeman even fell down the escalator when they shoot him in the knee.

nice to here that taxis will play a much larger role, adds to the realism...nice selection of cars there, ill be racing my ferrari against a beemer m3 on times square!! i think the best route on the map during missions is a huge new feature...getting lost and trying to figure my way around in the old games was frustrating...this will help a lot...first thing im gonna do when i get this game is get a gun and start some rampage to see how everything plays out...cant wait!!!!!

I wonder if the cars will have there real names and having taxis and the best route finder will make the game better as you get into the action quicker, but it will make it shorter but thats no worry as were getting episode content. :)

Good info, nice find.

yea i think the best route thing with the taxi is really good news...although it will make it easier it some aspects, i doubt it will make the game shorter...there is no such thing as a short game with the GTA series...trust me you will be playing this game a LONG time, even when you've completed the entire story'
