i rammed into the sprite's vehicle-head on at an angle such that the sprite flew out of its windshield (not uncommon for the game) and then RIGHT THROUGH MY OWN (never seen that before), sapping my remaining health and killing me.

sprite? No one has ever called a 3D "character model" a "sprite."

180

The physics system was so kooky in that game, every object had a ton of digital "weight" to it

I had no patience for it, there is no way Cars handle that terribly at low speeds irl. I just ended up spawning the sports car and helicopter iirc, and I would spend a ton of time in the stupid helicopter traversing the city because missions would constantly send you from one side to another. Such a rubbish game.

i have come to appreciate the kooky physics in this game. in some ways, they are reasonably close to real-life, in that relatively short falls from height or serious motorcycle collisions will outright kill you. in other ways, they are completely nuts - colliding with a vehicle's gas tank (usually behind above the wheel-well of the back tires) will often set the car and all of its occupants on fire. hitting a car with a heavy truck at speed will send the car soaring through the air, with passengers ejected all over the place.

i also think they did a good job with the object textures. there are thousands of small details that went beyond the cut-and-paste textures of the basic building/road/etc. models. like how old brick buildings will have painted advertisements for the game's fake products, and you can see that the advertisement was actually painted over a previous advertisement for a different fake product.

UPDATE: i just failed the last mission in the "revenge" fork of the GTA 4 plotline because i took my hands off of the keyboard while piloting the helicopter to take a sip of beer, and it fell faster than i had anticipated and sank into the water.

one thing i discovered is that the RIPLEY airport truck is the most destructive vehicle in the game in terms of what it does to other vehicles. it can also take the most non-firearms damage before exploding. its extended side-mirrors clip and overturn other vehicles with ease. it even flips over the black armored NOOSE vans that chase you after 4+ stars.
