Interesting discoveries from my first day in Liberty City

$Niko\'s new home$ Here’s a short list of notable discoveries from the beginnings of my mayhem-filled journey through Broker:

You can actually drive legally without much trouble — It seems that the weight of the vehicles is enough that driving feels a hell of a lot more realistic. I’ve heard some complaint about the difficulty of driving, but I guess I’ve played enough GTA and arcade-style driving games to get the hang of it pretty quickly.
The hand-to-hand combat isn’t as fun as it should be — After recently playing Bully, which has amazing hand-to-hand fighting, I thought IV would incorporate similar mechanics. It’s kinda similar, but a little sluggish and not near as fun. Maybe in multiplayer it’ll be more exciting.
Niko flying through the front window is awesome — Clearly Rockstar’s version of Eastern Europe doesn’t wear seatbelts.
Liberty City is frakkin’ huge — I’m driving all over the place, then I look at the full map to discover that I’ve only touched a small chunk of one island. I know it’s not the size of the San Andreas map, but that was at least 50% empty anyways.
