Playing GTA IV since Friday - My Review


PATT3N
 Share

Recommended Posts

I was lucky enough to pick GTA IV up on Friday afternoon and have been playing it pretty solidly ever since, I was a little worried when I first popped in the game I had been reading about dodgy cars, blurring, pop up, funny running animations ect ect

 

Could this version of GTA fail to live up to the hype? have the last four years of my life waiting for the next gen version of GTA gone to waste? Let me just clarify to all the people who re waiting to play this game and are worried like I was, this game is beautiful and has so much depth that I just can't take my mind off it.

 

I will admit that at first I was little unimpressed but after 30 minutes I found myself on the boardwalk at Firefly island at 7 in the morning staring across the water at the skyline of Alquonin.... I was there for a good two minutes staring in awe.

 

I can't really say too much without spoiling this piece of art for you but trust me this game will take over your life and yes I have played the multiplayer and again I cannot put into words how beautifully it all works.... no lag, no pop up just you and your friends running wild in Liberty City.

 

My gamertag is PATT3N and I'll look forward to seeing you Tuesday........ biggrin.gif

Thanks for that.....

 

Haven't really noticed the beard growing but it wouldn't surprise me as they have thought of everything else!

Full retail copy thank you very much!

 

Online really is beautiful, me and my friend jacked a cop car and was heading over one of the bridges in Alquonin when two guys in an attack helicoper rain down on us with there mounted mini gun, my pal pops the window and starts taking pot shots with his hand gun next thing the helicopter pilot who obviously isn't concentrating slams straight into the Broker Bridge breaking the chopper into three pieces!

 

Beautiful just beautiful!

Is there weapons hidden around the city like in SA?

No hidden weapons which I think is a good thing although Multiplayer is littered with weapons!

Me and a 3 friends decided to take a chopper to the top of the empire state and jump out, I hovered just below while the three amigo jumped the wall on to the spinning roter blades..... Hilarity ensued! happy.gif

 

You must experience falling from a great height as it truly is breathtaking and at the same time sickening! cry.gif

Thanks for answering questions, mate.

 

You mentioned shops, what are the clothes like? Is there a wide range? Do you buy individual items or whole outfits. For example, do you buy 'a suit' or do you buy 'suit jacket' and 'suit trousers' and 'shirt and tie'.

 

Thanks in advance.

No worries mate.

There is a russian shop in Broker where you can buy jeans, shoes, boots, tracksuits, glasses and jackets and this is all done by walking up to the different clothes around the store and trying them on it works really well and the preview is instant so no waiting.

 

Still a pretty low rent shop so no suits but I still have a way to go yet!

There are only 3 shops in the game and you don't have so many clothes to choose from and most of them are for old people smile.gif

u can buy individual and also a couple of whole outfits.

for me the popups weren;t noticeable i mean i happened a few times but it's not like i was driving and i hit something and then i saw it was a pole, just small things cans, small boxes etc

 

 

 

 

 

spoiler

 

 

 

 

 

There are some costumes one like the one in Hitman, some ugly shirts really ugly, and some nice jackets black, beige, jeans blue and black some track pants, i only found 2 pair of glasses, and i think like 10pair of shoes.

There are more clothes but most of them are ugly, there is one shop in the first city and 3 in the second city BUT 2 of them are the same so there are 3 clothes shops in all game.
