6. Use Cinematic Camera
Ill admit right now that Cinematic Camera is tough to incorporate first. Especially when you consider that in GTA IV, you also had to get your melon around an entirely revamped driving system that played more like a sim that the usual GTA arcade-like affair. Once you start to figure out how and when to use your Cinematic Camera though, the sky is the limit (literally, with the heli-cam shot) and theres no better way to play like a boss than being the director of your own car chase movie. Ignoring it doesnt make you suck as such, it just puts a ceiling on your potential awesomeness.
