That would suck maily because I would keep turning him in. Also it's ICE now INS was reformed into ICE. I'm just glad it isn't a terrorist that you play as, that would just be wrong and would fuel Jack T. flame about games even more.

If this game fetures destructable envionments then you will here how it is a terrorist training game.

5.3 - Planes...

were handy is san andraes, but there useless in liberty (especially this more realistic liberty). I'll take more interiors, better graphics, better AI to a larger world any day.

You simply don't need a plane in liberty + with the realistic nature of the graphics I'm sure it was a conscious decision to not have planes buzzing around skyscrapers.

Yet again you have to be the character they create. It helps for plot immersion, but i want to create and customise my own character. And no planes! Sorry, that won't do.

12 - It's Dutch. here is the babelfish translation

Tuesday 10 April 2007 - by the end of March proclaimed GameInformer all that the booklet this month with new information and screens van Grand Theft car IV will be come and it today then up to that point; the first information and a number of screens have reached us! A lot much information we have not yet got, but the name of the performable personage have been confessed. To be name Niko Bellic will sound. The words that he in the trailer spoke, ' perhaps complete, things will be different ', for him has been not only intended but also beats on Grand Theft car IV himself. The game will be, as it happens, complete differently than the previous GTA's. GameInformer level or freedom ' even speak of ' a new. Then Houser, producer in the GameInformer then GTA IV told of all Grand Theft cars, will put down a realistic New York, also in the field of what you do. According to Houser exists life in New York especially from drive round and crazy persons meet and that will return thus certainly in GTA IV. The American community will considerably be taken therefore on the hak in the new GTA! Like in the title there also a number of pictures is mentioned has been released. These can examine you by means of the thumbnails below.

13 - Screens?

I'm all for displaying new information about a game when it's leaked out or becomes available, but those were not screens. They weren't even scans. Someone took pictures of an artist's sketches for the design of the game.

I think GTA has lost all its greatness. Other devs are taking what they started and are making it better.

utter crap, crackdown was good but lacked depth I tired of it too quickly.

GTA is king of sandbox games, there is no doubt of that.

17 - This appeals a lot more to me.

I find the ganksta life that SA tried to portray is far more limiting and far less interesting than that of mafia. He kind of reminds me of Jean reno from the professional hopefully there's a couple hitman quests for me to go on. Either way I'm a lot more excited about this one than SA, even without planes.
