Nice to see there`s a big thread like this here too. ^^ I`ll just comment some things then.
Just to note:
I like the way this game looks, but the lack of features bores me quickly. I have been going drunken postal for a while tho, which is quite challenging in this game, but not really the main point of it (although the only gameplay left after you finish the story).
So anyways, ontopic;
You miss one point there, I also want to bribe the cabbie: Just give him 200 bucks and say "Here`s a dollar for every mph, now MOVE".

or something like that.
Also, train/busrides should be 5/10 minutes long... for us tourists. But I agree they should also be skipable for us impatient gamerz.
Call me a bloody tourist, but yea, I really miss this. I loved the fact you could just hang out the tourist and go sightseeing in certain other games.
I don`t really think being a mobster means doing ordinary jobs... but this game even lacks the shady jobs. Let`s just get a few more of those first, a`ight?
I don`t think so, it just seems that way because of the lack of other activities. I mean, IMO all you can do in this game is kill civilians, because I got bored quickly, and couldn`t find any decent activities to do. So yea, I start doing the indecent one. GO POSTAL!!!
That`s going a little too far... I agree on the motorcycles, but c`mon, it`s the 50's, Helicopters and planes didn`t have autopilot those days, and weren`t as easy to steer for random idiots jumping in and stealing them.
Sure, Vito was in the army, but he`s no pilot.
No, I`m against it. You`re on the steering wheel, so drive dammit. You can`t do both at the same time.
Although it would be nice if you had to do some actual shooting in driveby shootouts tho. Instead of always being the designated driver.
I`m missing a few points, so I`ll add them:
20. Cops are a little bugged:
Cops don`t mind you shooting around with automatic guns... This strikes me as odd. Arresting someone with a handgun == OK, but someone with a Tommy Gun is just asking to get shot on sight.
They also cannot arrest you when you stand on top of a car... IMO they should just warn you, count to 10 and then shoot you off.
And their description of you mentions everything except your clothes, but when you change those, you`re incognito again.
Speaking of which, I want the police scanner yapping to be optional, because it`s unrealistic and annoying.
It would be more credible if Vito could get a police radio from chopshops tho.
Also, one small story detail that is bugged: Joe doesn`t seem to hand you a number of his "buddy" you can call to get the police off your back. This seems like an annoying story gap, because I didn`t know you could call the cops off untill I read the manual (got me there RTFM screamers, got me there).
21. You can`t back your car into a chopshop, this makes it very annoying when you go back out, because you always have to drive over pedestrians that ignore you. Which usually results in getting a bloody mess and sometimes even some lead damage on your new paintjob.
22. Weapons should be allowed in your own appartment, maybe even let Joe give a smartass comment about not shooting up the place. I just want to reload my stuff, without drawing attention of the cops. Why is it impossible to do this in my own darn house.
