More GTA

Ah, GTA has gotten even cooler. When you get far enough in the game (not that far) the map becomes color coded by gang. You can recruit troops from your own gang and invade a different gangs territory. If you survive three waves of enemies then the territory is yours. However you have to defend your captured territories as well. It's really cool seeing to large mobs of opposing gangs firing on each other. And when a gang war begins, the streets clear of civilians, and even the police won't interfere, even if you have a wanted level.

When you capture a territory more of your gangmembers began hanging there and help to defend, but they often need your backup for successful defense, and from time to time you will recieve a message saying someone is trying to take your land.

Another cool feature, is that you are encouraged to attempt to woo this girl you save from a burning building. As you go out on dates, her attachment meter grows and as it gets higher, nighttime dating activities change. So far i've gone from, grabing a bite to eat, to cruising around town, and now, to nightly dancing at the dance club (which is DDResque except you use the circle triangle x and square button instead of a pad).
