GTA IV is a MUST play as it would be morally bankrupt of you not to get the 1st RLG. get to Liberty City ASAP
The no changing gaming difficulty is spot on. A very brave choice as had they got this wrong then this game could have become the biggest turkey since Driv3r.
The storyline is based superbly on you're life choices this will eventually determine which ending you will recieve, again nothing but total respect for Rockstar they set the bar in 1997 with GTA and wow have they raised it everytime since.
This game is as good a storyline gets since the awesome MAFIA, and that says a hell of alot.I strongly suspect that the brilliant Gathering team had a very large hand to play in this game.
With Niko Bellic being a serbian from the former Yugoslavia, where most of the Gathering Developers crew was based.The Graphical effects in this game will blow you away (quite litterally in the case of the lap dancers & pro's case) Driving in the rain @ night down star junction is something to behold, the tounge in cheek digs @ social & economical & political views is once again a pleasure to hear.
From the liberal PLO to the over the top views "that everyones a terrorist ,and all incidents in-game are "performed by terrorists" views of the neo-cons @ weezel news(isnt that like a fox lol )keep em scarred is sadly the motto of the idiot's.
The Net cafe's being called TW@ the TV ads being hillarious, Iggy Pop(isnt that a term now for avoiding convo with older ppl hmm) telling us how radio is dying on its as* as you have to be a non tallented, nothing to say celeb these days to get air-play is point proven.Famous for being rich = Fame 4 fu** all is sadly also true of the world in 2008.
This game is quite simply PERFECTION cant wait for GTA 5, but MAFIA 2 will ease the wait somewhat but then their is always GTA IV and finding things out like the sky-train,
