the game is realy good but its not as good as san andreas you dont have jet planes nor ur jet pack or the parachoot,the cars are realy sexy and the graphics.
Serves them right. Why. I bought the Xbox version instead. Any company that seeks to damage my computer is not going to see a single penny from me.As for the game itself - Did you like GTA3 Liberty City, Vice City, or San Andreas. Because it doesn't include virus-like DRM copy-protection or frak up my computer. My copy cost ~$10 Used at my local gaming store, so Rockstar's decision to include Virus-like DRM software on the PC version cost them a $50 brand-new sale. If so, you'll like this too. It's the same great game, albeit the PC version is marred by Rockstar's poor decision to include DRM, which is why I recommend the Playstation or Xbox version instead.
Sure they're fun and have certainly reinvented the sandbox genre, but really you're ususally just some thug-of-choice running around shooting and driving. It's like, they'll give you a choice on which character to kill but then they'll show you a cut-scene that shows why you should feel bad about what you just did. of the pedestrians to the little grimmy details of damage on cars and vehicles. In GTA4 there's only three clothing stores with VERY limited selections.Also it seems helicopters are your only mode of air transportation. The stories over-the-top and you can have fun driving over, shooting, and/or beating up pedestrians and police.at least you could before GTA 4 came out.Now, don't get me wrong. GTA4 is a technical marvel from the A.I. I've never understood why critics (and gamers) consider the GTA series to be artistic. In San Andreas you could go to any number of clothing stores and car shops to change your character' and your cars appearance.
In closing I don't think GTA 4 is a bad game at all. This wouldn't be so bad, but when the game forces you to do this to progress the story then slaps you omn the hand for it it kinda sends the wrong message.Another thing I didn't like was the lack of custimization. In fact it's one of the most technically impressive titles to come out this year. The story is kinda cool, but ultimatly feels like a modern gangster flick with questions about morals and family etc. Maybe it's the stories (chuckle chuckle).Well whatever it is, you're usually in for a fun, wacky time when you're playing a GTA title. I realize this is more realistic (which sucks)., but it would've been nice to have more variety in vehicles.The combat in this game is much improved from the previous titles, from covering to targeting specific body parts.
But as a game, it just didn't engage me like the first three did (GTA3, Vice City, San Andreas). This isn't a bad thing, but when it makes it seem like every pedestrian/cop/criminal is a real-life character it takes a bit of the fun out of killing them in creative ways. The controls themselves can be a bit clunky (and VERY sluggish), but you can generally get your character to do what you want them to do. But as far as the game-core goes, it feels like a HUGE step back.
Forget it. The visuals are good and there are tons and tons of laughs, big ones, all throughout the game. The best reason to pick up Grand Theft Auto 4, is simply to hang out with Niko Bellic. But despite the traditional fun of running errands for crime bosses and smashing into people on the sidewalk with your car or motorcycle, Grand Theft Auto 4 still could use some work.
The story line is fantastic. How good is this game for real.Well for starters, its fun but it takes a while to get to that point. From the new radio stations and good weather effects, to the seemingly endless parade of street characters, GTA 4 has a true unique feeling. The cover system is welcomed, but doesn't work very well sometimes.
Is it really necessary to make crappy controls part of the necessary game experience. Rockstar has gone to lengths to immerse you into a real living city. But its not without some clear faults.GTA 4 takes awhile to get rolling. The first chunk of the game is slooooow going. Ok all the hype has died down.
Definitely not as well as the cover system in the GTA rip-off, and now ancient, Godfather game. Seriously, it can't be that hard to get a smoother and more responsive set of controls in this game. Some of the vehicle controls in particular, with or without SIXAXIS, can be incredibly frustrating.Sure the game can be a blast in places. And Niko's story is one you just keep wanting to see unfold. I would have hoped they could have started the storyline and gameplay with a lot more of a bang. Who doesn't like Niko Bellic. Its fun, but feels unfinished and is by no means a masterpiece.There is some real value and replayablilty in the sheer amount of things to do, and on that basis, I recommend the purchase.
The early pieces of the game are really a snooze, many times feeling like a SIMS rehash until you can start doing some real damage with larger crime. The helicopter, cars, boats and stuff are nice to have around but while the controls are improved in someways, you still feel as if your thumbs are treading up hill through mashed potatoes. However, if you are looking and some stunning piece of polished work. He's a bad dude but he's also funny and surprisingly sympathetic.
A very good game but perphaps I`ve been spoiled by its precursors. by the fact that there is nothing outstanding from the previous generations of the game, the only difference to me is the storyline incredible graphics online connectivity and everything that this platform offers but other than that more of the same.
