Sranje is the Serbian word for poo-poo.

After Ranting about those who hated me for giving a bad review of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, I'm back with another review, hopefully one that won't anger too many. I managed to finish Grand Theft Auto IV and I wanted to write about it.

Yes, it did take me a bit longer than usual to complete this game, but I blame family visiting, Metal Gear Solid and the wonderful West-Coast weather as the reasons behind this delay. Thankfully, after 40 hours of gameplay, I helped Niko Bellic realize that the American Dream is not what it's cracked up to be.

I'm not going to lie, I loved GTA. I gave it a 10 because I felt that the game offered the complete package. A great story with incredible characters. Stunning graphics and sound and plenty of extra options. I and so many others did not spend anywhere from 30-70 hours on a game that didn't offer that much amount of content. Yes, there are some minor problems, mainly the little glitches here and there and the problem with the dynamic lighting, but those issues do not hurt the overal package. Most people have played this game, and you cannot deny that this is really something different. There is no current game on the market that offers the same amount of content.

I still believe that Metal Gear Solid was the better game, I cannot fair compare the two as they are very different products. MGS is right now the front runner for Game of the Year, but I did spend more time with Niko than I did with Solid. Also, I still have more to unlock and to experience in GTA. I did not manage to talk to all the Random Characters, I didn't play enought of the multiplayer, and I know I didn't see all of Katt Williams stand-up.

Please check out my review, rate it if you wish, thumbs or thumbs down, it doesn't really matter to me, I just like the attention. Hopefully it will help the minor SSBB controversy I caused to die down.
