Awesome! I was wondering if this was possible.

I really love how the Ambulance/Firetruck/Taxi/whatever missions have a bit of variety within itself.
Like the Ambulance missions aren't just glorified taxi missions where you take people to the hospital. You're doing things like performing CPR and using shock paddles to bring people back to life. Then the firetruck missions, you can use the hose on the truck if applicable, but you're often leaving the truck and running into burning buildings and putting out fires with your extinguisher.
Even the taxi missions where you're supposed to take people from point A to point B have a bit of variety. You can pick up a person who's wanted by the police. This gives you a X star wanted level and you have to dodge the cops/SWAT to drop people off. Or a would-be thief would get in the car and you have to do wild stunts to scare him off. Then there are times when you compete for fares with a rival taxi driver trying to take your customers.
edit:
Following up on the random Stilwater happenings:
I watched a Samedi gang member grab and pimp and hold him hostage via human shield mode and fight off two other pimps trying to stop him. He kept spinning left and right making sure neither of them could get in any clean hits, but then the rainbow pimp crew pulled up in an old school drop top and they swarmed him from all sides. After he got knocked down he was stomped/kicked to death by at least 5 pimps at the same time. :lol

Don't concentrate on going after vehicles. Blow up fences, lawn furniture, billboards, etc. Fences especially kick up some serious multipliers and cash. Use grenades, rockets, or satchel charges.Vargas said:

In SR1 the best way I did it was to do it up to like level 3 or 4 in the beginning of the game. Then later when I could get more gang members with me I would tackle the higher level ones. They could help battle the cops when I was blowing shit up.
Not really, it's just the fact that the clothing is split among both male and female. So if you're playing as a guy, then yeah overall you have less "guy" clothes compared to SR1, but the total amount seems to be quite a bit more.ice cream said:
The real issue is that if you're going for a specific style then you'll possibly have limited choices.

lol. I was going to try and make him my in-game character but I decided to re-create Jill Valentine, for Zombie Panic purposes. It actually turned out pretty good, even have a blue tube top and short black skirt. Combined with the salute "taunt" its not to bad.
I noticed this to, during one of my taxi missions a robber got in and I had to drive all crazy till they gave up, again just another touch that keeps the fun going. I also like the comments the old men make in the cab, hilarious one liners in this game. I was walking around the university and heard someone say "I've worked on a World War II game" as he was beating down someone for some reason....

I know I got them in my inventory at level two or three of the Mayhem instance I was playing. Outside of that, not sure where to get them.Vargas said:
Man, the game is all kinds of fun. Fuzz is awesome, but I can't lie, throwing satchel charges out of a moving car in Trafficking is hella crazy. The crazy thing is, both this and Mercs 2 are proof that games still need to be fundamentally FUN. GTA 4 did so many things well, the polish was head and shoulders over this and mercs and it had a better story (well from what I've played of SR2 so far). But here's the thing, when I wasn't playing GTA, I really didn't have that little kid urge to go home from work ASAP to play it.
With SR2 I can't wait to do more activities, other than the racing which I find boring, the activities are all really well done and addictive.

Holy shit! I was just trying to run from the cops with 3 stars, and as I usually do instead of finding a Forgive & Forget I just hightail it to parts of the map where it's tough for them to find/follow me, like under bridges and in the sewers. I see an aqueduct/open sewer area and drive down into it, which makes the trailing cop car wipeout. So since I have some time to kill before my stars lower to 1 I start looking around. Under the bridge there's a sewer tunnel with the bars broken off, so I enter it. The tunnel keeps going and going and going, down and around. Finally after about 3 minutes of walking further down I found...
Way cool though! I don't know if this place is common knowledge or what, but I had no idea about it beforehand, so I was pretty surprised and delighted to stumble upon it.
a HUGE, multi-floor underground laboratory! People walking around in full nuclear fallout gear, lots of rooms full of computers, labs, offices, even a large weapons storeroom with missiles. A really creepy and sinister vibe in the place, like right out of Black Mesa. Following the base all the way to the other end led me out to an exit/entrance that is underneath a waterfall in an unnamed, unowned area of the map.
Unfortunately, as big as the place is, and despite all the weapons and lab equipment, it doesn't seem like I can do anything there except observe.

It wasn't the power plant island (this was all underground, no access to the above), although I was walking underground for a while, and I don't know where I corresponded to the above ground world most of the time. I'll tell people where it is approximately if they want to know, but you'll still have to find a way down there somehow, because as I said, I just happened to stumble upon the open sewer grate...
There is a patch of unnamed, unowned territory to the NE corner of the University District. See that patch of brown there that no gang owns and it has no stores or activities? It's down underground there.... somewhere.

I jacked a guy's car and he yelled KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
So, when do I get my new tag? I suggest something like "always proven correct in the end".

I'm really tempted to pick this up tomorrow, it seems like the devs went all-out on variety and the fun factor. Good on 'em, I say.

I don't even know why they have a respect meter this time to unlock new missions. In SR1 I remember always being somewhere between 0 respect and x5, and would often have to do activities to be able to do more missions.
Right now in SR2 I'm x30 respect. It's not even an issue anymore.

What is the point of buying property? I bought the airplane hanger and I don't load there and I don't seem to be able to warp there. I could have saved $50,000.
I accidentally picked up the PS3 version (wanted the X360 one but wasn't thinking and asked for the PS3 one and didn't realize it until I got home, but they're close enough so whatever) and played about 2 hours and really enjoyed it. Having selectable difficulty levels and checkpoints assure me that unlike GTA I won't get totally frustrated and give up on some mission.
I also really like the blue checkpoint/radar markers along the way. They remind me of Crackdown and help me figure out where I'm going.
Control is pretty good. Not a fan of forced R2 on the PS3 for shooting but I can live with it. Also holding O to bring up your weapon wheel is kinda finnicky because the button is pressure sensitive and the wheel only stays if you have 100% pressure on O. Btw is there only 1 car camera?
Visually it's about what I expected. On one hand it runs a teeny bit smoother than GTAIV and thankgod does not have that smeary vaseline blur look that GTAIV had (at least on PS3). Looks fairly sharp though nothing really jumps out at you. The only graphical issue I've seen so far is that all the neon signs/billboards shimmer like the power line from GTAIV in motion because there's no AA.
I enjoy the writing A LOT more than GTAIV. I didn't find GTA funny at all, just embarassing with all the swear words and titties every line. SR2 actually has some funny lines so far. Though since it's a direct sequel it's kind of weird for someone like myself who played SR1 for a total of like 1 hour.
