I just got this game today and it ROCKS. Seriously, anyone who is able to purchase this game DO SO. You won't regret it. I love the fighting...me and my roommate were playing it earlier tonight, and we were just roaming around, and we stumbled upon a bank being robbed by a rival gang, and cops had surrounded the place and it was total mayhem! Naturally, I ran inside and got into a fight with 3 or 4 gangsters with a baseball bat...let me tell you, I almost actually broke a sweat trying to beat those guys down! The fight lasted a full 3 minutes of non stop beating... love it. I also like throwing people in front of cars, throwing shop owners through windows, and pushing them over rooftops, followed by a few jabs and a head butt if they're still alive
