PC, yeah, I can see that.
Also, the higher the Wanted level, the more the cops will shoot at you during a high-speed chase. If they get close you won't have rear tires for very long...

I had one time I was on 3 stars and it was a 7 minute chase to escape the cops. Admittedly, I've also escape another 3 stars in under a minute but you can see what inescapable chaos 6 stars might mean.
It doesn't help (I imagine, if other GTA experience holds true) that when you're running from the cops, you really stop caring about peds. And squishing peds in front of cops doesn't really help with the wanted level problem.

Really? The cops don't seem to care about ped injuries as far as I've noticed? I will have to investigate... heh heh heh.

Well, in GTA3, squishing lots and lots of peds (multiple groups, not just one or two here and there) can earn you up to a third star. It may be totally different for 4. Plus after a certain point, I think ped squishing probably stops earning you new stars.

Our wings are not tired
I am in Costco and they have a handful of Wiis here. Call me and I can try to snag one. My phone number is in my profile.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
ND, I won't have the money to buy one for another couple of months (stoopid last-in-line-for-stimulus-check SSN), but thanks for the tip! We have a Costco here that I've been meaning to join for other reasons.

Can you jack a city bus? That might be fun for ped clearance.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yep. Also, a garbage truck.
