8. Fire Physics Are Sick
During one of Franklins missions, he winds up in a gang fight while trying to repossess a vehicle. As usual, things get very hairy and violent until Rockstar prompts the player to fire a stray bullet into a gasoline puddle. The result is a trail of fire emerging and burning its way through to a nearby vehicle that then explodes, causing mass carnage and killing everyone in the surrounding area. Not only is this strategic, but unbelievably unprecedented and awesome, not to mention a mechanic I anxiously cannot wait to take advantage of. It seems as though Rockstar has taken GTA's gameplay to a whole new, dynamic level.
