Ditto. When you finish the story missions, you've barely completed 45% 
according to the stats. With regard to difficulty, I used to play it 
with my flatmate - we'd alternate attempts on missions / escapades, 
turning over control upon death / being busted. This works very well 
because you tend not to get so bogged down and frustrated with missions, 
  and you get to learn from others' mistakes, see different strategies etc.

I've not played the new one though. I've heard it's 100% city-based, no 
countryside - that's one of the things I liked best about San Andreas, 
so we'll see...
