I got to playing it and it's really fun. They added lots of little fun things to do.
For example, if you have your cellphone and press up on the directional pad twice you can manually dial 911 and make prank calls for police, paramedics or fire department and watch them come over and get pissed off wondering who called them.

Ok, I've been playing GTA 4 for about 4-5 hrs lastnight. Frist impression of the game? It's fcukin' A! I was expecting it to be just like the older one with bump up graphic, well it is and it isn't. The game feel more alive soemhow, the game area itself is nowhere near the size of GTA:SA though, but the city feels more complete this time around.

The graphic is just great, you do need a good HD tv to get the best out of it though. There's somehting else as well, like all the little details that they put in the game, new hand to hand combat, new gun fight system, the driving will take a lot of getting use to on 360 pad.

And sometime the game itself is just pure comedy. Like lastnight, when an ambulance was rushing to get to someone and crashed into the car in front and get this. Both car carshed so hard that the medic that was driving, flew out of the windscreen into the nearby wall..and die. All this happened while I was standing on the rooftop of the parking lot and nowhere near the action.

Moment like this, that made the game great for me.

I want to know what is up with the weird dudes in areas talking about aliens coming for us. They seem to have signs on them too.
Also I found a weird glowing red pigeon and I have no idea what to do with it.

Paramedics should wear seatbelts.

I was walking past the shops today and they were selling it, but I have exams coming up soon and if I bought it all I would do is play it. So, annoyingly, I'll just have to wait till there over.

:/

Armed Car plus lots of wanted levels = great fun!

I haven't been doing missions much in this game. Rather I been driving around and do random stuffs and see how much carnage I can make before the cops shows up!

Loved this game.. better than .. GW!

^ lol, I only just unlocked the second island last night. This game has so much to do, see, even going out for a walk is fun. The driving still take some getting use to, though.

Oh yeah! Lazlow's back as well.

I picked up GTA IV the day it was released, the store had a shitload of special editions and I got there in time to buy the last normal edition copy of the game. It's a fun game, don't think it's a perfect game but it's good. So much stuff to do, so many side missions and mini games and the story is good. Multiplayer was all hype, it isn't that great.

GTA is officialy the highest rated game of all time:

Metacritic PS3: 99% (35 revs)
360: 99% (53 revs)
Game Rankings PS3: 99.0% (28 revs)
360: 98.4% (43 revs)

Its not perfect? What is perfect? No game is perfect but when certain aspects are the best in the industry and have topped anything previoursly then it deserves credit.

GTA 4 is the best game of all time both technology and gameplay wise, its perfection in what is does because it does it so well. If you moan about the new steering or gun system then accept the fact you suck at the game its not the developers fault.

I don't need numbers to tell me how I feel about a game. It's a good game, I don't think it's so good that it should be called "perfect". But then again that's my opinion and the reviews that gamers base what makes a game "perfect" are just opinions of the reviewers.

GTA IV isn't the best rated game ever... Ocarina of Time is. God I can't stand this PS3/360 generation of console gamers, they have no clue about the old school.

1. Grand Theft Auto IV PS3 Rockstar Games 99.011%
2. Grand Theft Auto IV X360 Rockstar Games 98.053%
3. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 97.688%

WRONG.

"What's a perfect game?"

Pretty much, any games that I have fun playing. Also perfect game is a point of view, everyone has a different opinion.

Two things in GTA 4 that I don't like though, the radio stations aren't that good, not enough rock music. And I don't understand what that jamaican guy was saying most of the time even with sub on.
