New York's 'Freedom Tunnel' (Photos and Video)
"It is a bizarre blend of dark and light, silence and rumble, solitude and multitude. As you penetrate the tunnel and walk along the tracks, the sunbeams perforating the ceiling and highlighting the railway gives the place a post-nuclear feel. Voices from children playing above in Riverside Park sound like lost souls and trains whistling and roaring through the ruins of the shanty towns send chills down your spine."

I was thinking it was
a bit like the tunnels in Dark Days. Then it turned out it was *the* tunnel.

Finally got round to playing GTA4...
Thus far it all seems a bit uninspiring. And I can't drive for shit.

Play Saints Row 2 instead
Not as realistic but a ton more fun. Zero Punctuation gave it his best review: www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/312-Saints-Row-2

Absolutely agree with that review
I couldn't abide getting nagged all the bloody time to go for a drink, when i'd then have to drive drunk which is really not fun once the novelty wears off.

played it loads in co-op
Good, but the city is bland, and its glitchy and crashy beyond belief (well - at least it was in co-op).
Its fun, and theres plenty to do though. Great fun streaking naked through a park, then throwing up on someone. The shit-spraying missions were a good laugh too.

I agree with this
What it lost in "brown filter of making things look real" it made up for in being just all round more fun.
GTA4 doesnt let you spray sewage over posh houses, SR2 does!

Try this one...
We took a bike ride along the Tissington Trail in Derbyshire and there at the end was a wonderful tunnel, in Ashbourne, that echoes like a strange beast in all sorts of foul and unpredictable moods.
