Delta438 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 It might be a good idea to put the video on top. I had such a hard time trying to find each street and avenue. When I was on my last one and scrolled down, I saw the video and was like "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..." No offence though. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the trend in video games nowadays. I guess the developers want to add more replay value in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
