    More info on GTA IV please, both multiplayer and single player, graphics, gameplay, storyline, everything. How is it like, in comparison with SAN ANDREAS?
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    It's better than all of them put together! punk

    Gameplay - The core mechcanics still remain (stealing cars, shooting everything, causing general havoc), but everything has been expanded on in some way. When breaking into cars, you have to smash the window in and hotwire it. When shooting, you can now use everything as cover and either pop out and shoot, or blind fire (even rocket launchers!). There's more random shit to do as well, so you can go bowling, go drinking, or go to some genuinely funny gigs (I love the magic shows!). Plus there's the mobile phone, where you can actually pick the ring tones! You can call people up and see if they want to ''hang out'' or people call you about missions. Wicked!

    Graphics - The best looking GTA there is. A little rough around the edges, but it's incredibly easy to forgive that considering how much there is going on. They've really got the details right this time - when it rains people use newspapers as umbrellas, hobos gather around flaming trash cans. And that's not even mentioning the physics engine! Car handling is insane (fun, but insane). You can pull off proper Hollywood turns and stunts which is cool, and you can turn the headlights from main to full beam (detail!). Plus, if someone tries to jack your car when you're at some lights, simply start driving away and they'll hang onto the door handle for dear life. It's hilarious!

    Sound - I don't think I even need to say what the quality of the radio stations are. Ricky Gervais even does some stuff which is cool! I've always been a fan on the talk show stations rather than the music, so I'm not too sure what's on there yet!

    Story - For once, I like all the characters. It's very, very funny and well written. Again, I've only scratched the surface, so I assume this will get even better.

    Multiplayer - Oh. My. God. This is NUTS. I can't even describe in words how cool it is to have not 1 but 16 people causing the usual GTA chaos. Knife fights on top of buildings, drive by shootings, car racing...PLAY THIS GAME!!!
  1. If you like to watch, gasp in amazement at the video review done by the chaps of www.gametrailers.com. Absolutely bloody gorgeous.

    If you like to read, www.gamespot.com has a rather nice review. But a bit short considering the amount of content in the game. But that's for the player to discover.

    ME WANTS IT ! MY PRECIOUS ! cool

    The magic shows are awesome!

    It's a magician and his assistant (who always ends up injured/dead).

    I've been to two shows currently:

    - On the first occasion the magician did a levitating act. When someone in the audience distracted him, his assistant must have been a few meters in the air and fell when he lost his focus.
    - On the second, it was knife throwing. In short, he missed and hit the poor woman in the shoulder. biggrin

    Anthony, your review RULED!

    Now, i must have this!
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  4. I keep reading reports about people having tons of problems while playing GTA 4 on PS3 and Xbox 360 such as lockups, connectivity hassles and worst of all, total crashes where the console becomes FUBAR. Anyone playing the game experienced anything at all?

    I want to buy it for PS3 but it seems the most bugged version of the two. I hope RockStar will have a patch available soon. Incredible that such a high profile game gets released in the state it's in. I guess they couldn't meet the deadline and decided to release it as is, as happens frequently these days. Games are supposed to bring you enjoyment, not send your console to the graveyard.

    I've been playing GTA for PS3 for a week, and there's no problems...


    Except one freeze...




    But this is something common in the GTA games... biggrin

    I've heard a lot of people (PS3 owners especially) have had freezing issues. I've got it on 360 and haven't had a single problem yet. dizzy

  7. Played CIV 4 (with expansions) a bit recently. Won on Monarch difficulty with a small map for the first time, with a space race victory. Then followed it up immediately with a cultural victory!
    If in doubt, let the wookie win

    Might sound odd, but I haven't crossed the final stage of Dangerous Dave till now!! confused That final part with the disc things unloading on you is just tough as HELL!! crazy
  8. I've spent two hours playing GTA4 yesterday, the first two I might add. I was so totally jawdropped I couldn't go on. Is this even possible in videogames? The level of technical achievement done by Rockstar boggles my mind. The cellphone is a truly remarkable addition. And the detail in the city: OMG. Virtual life doesn't get better than this.
    OH... damn... I must go rest... my mind hurts. dizzy

    No seriously I hope my PS3 doesn't go on strike over here, I need to experience Liberty City without any hickups!

  9. I've played pool recently with a virtual date in GTA 4, a nice simulation of the real thing btw. Only bowling I can't get the hang of, the ball never takes off sleep

    I'm currently playing Ocarina of Time for the 4th time all over again. I got stuck in the Water Temple again, but I finally managed to get through this dungeon once more. Sigh...
