Realism...fun?

Well, having just played the Lost and Damned for a little while and dying repeatedly, I completely forgot about the difference in Saints Row and GTAIV. You sort of get used to being some ubermensch who is able to take multiple bullet and stab wounds, regenerate his health and survive any fall, sprint for miles without stopping and teleport out of water. I can see that it's going to take some adjustment to the GTAIV mindset again.

On the plus side it looks good and the bikes work well, as promised.

Edit: I think I've got the hang of it again. Also I just won a race by smashing the the leaders of the race off their bikes with a baseball bat.
