Great with some minor problems
This game is one of those games: you love it or you hate it. I will spell out some quick points everyone wants to know. The map is smaller, there are less guns, there are less planes, there are less cars, there are less character customization options, and there are fewer places to explore. The graphics are much better with some draw-in problems and the camera sometimes gets in the way, but overall it is a great improvement. Thankfully, the combat is much improved with non-broken auto-aiming and even the ability to get a headshot if controlled properly. If anything, the violence is toned down in this game. The handling for cars is a little more realistic in some cases and less in others, but it doesn't get out of hand. The missions are above average to entertaining with some downright hilarious characters. This is one of those games, and most people will buy it just because it's the next Grand Theft Auto. But if you've never played a Grand Theft Auto game before, this is the game to get. The missions are awesome and just messing around is the best it's ever been. Buy this game ASAP.

Fast and Furious, Not very comfortable...
This is my second and current bike. I love it, but sometimes I have to go back and ride my '98 Ninja 250 because this bike doesn't cut it for long hauls. The seat is rather hard and the handlebars put pressure on my wrists that gets uncomfortable after a while. I realize this all has to do with my size, and I am 5'11'' and 175 lbs. Now the good stuff. This bike is GREAT for zipping down highways and tollways, and even has good low-end power for most driving situations. I can comfortably destroy the vast majority of cars on the market with this. The exhaust tone is low and throaty, unlike my little Ninja. It handles bumpy roads better than I expected, so it is just below average comfort in this sense. Of course, in the twisties this bike is just fantastic. When this bike goes into the twisties, you feel like you are flying, and this bike knows that it's meant to have fun. This bike is one of the most common bikes for a reason: it's well priced and extremely fast. Just don't bank on it for long drives (6+ hours).
