| | Customer Reviews: Great game, but needs just abit more madness (05 November 2008)Great game In response to some of the other reviewers I find the driving more of a challenge as I dislike the more arcade-style driving games. I find the shooting cover system works really well and I haven't come across any faults, even though I bought the game the day it came out. I have given the game 5 stars overall because of the pure beauty of Liberty City. Sure, it may not have the best graphics, but the scenes are magnificent. Only four stars for fun as the off-line play does get boring after a while, but the online play can be mental. Hope the next game comes out soon, and that it does inherit a mix of IV's beauty and San Andreas's huge map and absolute craziness. A Mercs 2 style "blow everything up" game engine would also be really cool. Overall, a great game but needs a bit more madness in it. GTA IV!!! (31 October 2008)Great graphics. Great story. Great gameplay. Great online play. Great Game. a dissapointment (11 October 2008)as an avid grand theft auto fan and after the brilliant san andreas on ps2 i was expecting this to surpass it with ease but was very dissapointed a another reviewer states it's like a grand theft auto 3 add on and they couldnt be more right i found the car handling to be very over the top and got bored of it before i had even got off the 1st island in my opinion no where near as good and as addictive as vice city or san andreas. rockstar need to think more about the gaming side and not how great it looks. as this seems the case when GTA made its debut on the ps3 gta 4 let down (07 October 2008)just like the title says i was really let down by gta4 for so many reasons,here are some of the things that cheesed me off with the game that so many magazines gave 10/10???? i would give it 7/10 being generous. cheesed off with.... acting is poor and the characters have no charisma or charm,nico is a bland pot bellied immigrant who is just not cool at all and does missions for money he cant spend on anything?! story is really weak,characters appear with no reason for them being in the story and no explanation as to how you got tangled up with them either. driving with external view is rubbish,car handles like a bar of soap but strangely handling is fixed with bonnet view? i prefer to see the car though but it's like you are driving a ferrari with bonnet view and a citroen 2cv with a front puncture in external view. the missions...oh dear the missions,we have the whole of new york at our disposal and do we use it?? nope...drive here shoot him,drive there get some money.that's it!!! what about a fight on top of the empire state,oh dear you cant go up there or even through the front door.what about going up the statue of liberty? nope ground floor only.loads of scope for side missions,nope dont bother! there is only one mission that i found a bit tricky and that was the bank job but it wasnt as good as the one in san andreas,nothing is as good as it was in san andreas or better other than the graphics but...... the graphics they are ok at best,when the light is just right they look ok but most of the time they use too much sun bloom or filters so it looks a lot like a ps2 and a half game. side missions are few and are really boring,the game itself is like when you ask for something really cool at xmas and end up with a brown cardigan. wait for saints row 2,play vice city or san andreas,count the hairs on your arm just dont bother with this!! Over rated by the hye and reviews (26 September 2008)It just shows that you can't depend on reviews when choosing games. I was disappointed with this game and have now traded it in after about three hours of game play. I couldn't be bothered to play any more. I felt the general game play was nothing special. I couldn't get a hang of the driving and found myself having to restart some of the missions over and over again until I just got frustrated. Also, it is frustrating having to go back to all the same location again and again to do a mission that involved chasing someone round in a car. Not very interesting really. On the other hand, I admit that the general presentation of the game was second to only Mass Effect. And I admit Nico was quite a likeable character. But the gameplay didn't appeal to me. But I can understand why some people were raving about the game. It just isn't to my taste. |
