The Official XBOX Magazine have been the first people to review Grand Theft Auto IV. Overall its a good review and they've also leaked a few pictures of the in-game HUD in action.
As we have all been graced by the release of Grand Theft Auto 6's trailer, we're ranking the best and worst GTA trailers to date.
We be getting these posts All week now lads. Someone noticed a number plate ... Someone noticed a billboard... I can see it now
Just go on YouTube and watch one of the many videos dissecting the whole 1minite 30secs worth.
This site supposed to be for news.
These updates on N4G are going to ruin whats rest of this site. Unfortunate since I was one of the first members.. The site shows unsecure when i login as well.
Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.
There’s never a bad time to relive its magic, and with rumours of a potential Grand Theft Auto IV remaster making the rounds, why wouldn’t you?
Not really
Overrated
Boring
Liberty City despite being a reimagined version for the HD era lacked any variety
Lacked the GTA fun charm overall
Niko was bland compared to past protagonists like Tommy, CJ or Victor
Like hell it is. San Andreas was far better, much more fun and a better game overall.
Nah, it's a masterpiece in attention to detail and the amount of immersive systems at play. But it really isn't very fun, ESPECIALLY when compared to the previous games in the series. Like tons of things are just wonky and actively kneecap lots of experimentation, or is just lame. Like why do I take huge damage when falling into water, why can I only stand in very specific large trucks when they are moving but not smaller trucks and vehicles, why is the melee combat such a massive down grade from GTA SA and GTA IV, why is the euphoria nowhere near as reactive, why is being drunk using a rasterized animation of staggering rather than the far more entertaining euphoria GTAIV and RDR used when you were drunk, why do npc vehicles barely react to you popping there tires even at high speed, etc etc.
I've always loved playing around in GTA games world. Like the campaigns are great but the majority of my time was always spent just playing in the open world. Yet GTAV is the only game in the series I never really returned to after beating it, it just lacks that fun factor the others have, I spent more time in GTA SA remastered than GTAV
It's one of my least favourite GTA games. It's clunky, the ai is exploitable, it's far too long and the writing is absolutely awful.
Xbox360 Verdict
~Amazingly realistic world
~Stunning action set pieces
~Genuinely engrossing storyline
~Vast in every respect
~Utterly stunning in every respect 10/10
Would you expect anything less from GTA? Good review and nice high quality scans which are easily read. Enjoy.
EDIT: Sorry why are people disagreeing with me? I'm simply trying to help. This site has a very childish demographic.
Looks like we have our first GOTY candidate of 08. Can't wait to get my hands on the multiplayer.
first game ever to get 100 on Metacritic?????
doubtful, some idiot will give it a bad score- but it definitley has the potential to match Ocarina of Time's 99
@MK
heh, so you think they'll be trying to protect OOT's status so dearly they wont let any game get close?
perhaps, but there aren't many of those left- the Nintendo sites and mags CANT review GTA4 and the ones that can are mostly unbiased or biased towards either the Playstation or Xbox brand- which wont affect the score seeing as GTA4 is multi-platform
Nothing is perfect, and it's certainly not going to be this game.
I'll be picking up a new DS3 to play this with. Only a couple weeks left to go!
