Er, you CAN shoot while looking left/right.

I just wish the mouse could be used to rotate the camera while in the car. The fixed left/right views are annoyingly restrictive. At least in Midtown Madness the camera has 6 fixed rotation views AND mouselook while in-car. It seems odd GTA3 isn't the same considering how similar it is to the MM series in many (most) other respects.

I'd also like another 1st-person view inside the car (like the left/right views give) instead of only in front of the car. The left/right 1st-person views should also be centered on the player's head (complete with rendering the player's body) and allow mouselook to aim the gun (and to just look around without aiming a gun).

It's all about immersion.
