Comparing today's PC graphics cards against an older system like the PS2 is unfair. I agree, games look best on a PC, better on Xbox and ok on a PS2. But that doesn't mean the game sucks, it's just a limitation of the PS2 graphics engine. I'm sure this won't be an issue with the PS3.

I bought this one and am loving it. The map is HUGE and there are about a zillion things that you can do when you get bored/ frustrated with the missions.
If you sneak into the airport (you have to climb the fence) you can steal a plane and fly into the unlocked area of the map. Your wanted level goes up to four stars just the same as if you swam there. In a very short time you'll get shot down by a military aircraft, but I still like to see how far I can get into the "forbidden zone" before getting shot down. Once I was able to ditch the flaming plane into a pond before it exploded and swim to shore. I still got shredded by the swat team though. Too much fun to be had in this one to not buy it.

When you get into the forbidden zone, you need to steal a motorcycle. This gives you the best chance evade the police for awhile. I drove around all of Las Venturas and I even tried to get into a Casino, but none of them where open.
What plane did you use? Dodo or the Lear Jet? The Lear Jet is down the runaway from the Dodo and is much more fun to fly. Also, after you hop the fence, go to the gate and the gate will open for you to bring in a car or bike.
Stingray:
I've flown both planes, but I find the Dodo to be slightly easier to use when trying to evade the missle attacks. It's a little easier to barrel roll and seems a lot more manuverable. I'm still trying to reach the area on the map that's labeled the "No Fly Zone". I assume this is an "Area 51" inspired place. Just want to see what's there.
I also landed (okay crashed) a plane in the "Easter Bay" airport. For some reason, even though I had four stars, none of the cops were able to get to me there for a long time, so I was able to explore it on foot. There are several neat looking planes and helicopters there, but sadly they were all locked. Eventually the police found their way in and I got massacred.

I unlocked the city that the Easter Bay Airport was located in. And I hopped the fence to access that airport and all the helicopters and other planes were locked for me too. Still haven't unlocked Las Venturas.
