hope it's not Didelly doo I love you concept, have that already on the ear-killer AKA radio.
I liked the San andreas and Vice City songs, though PC version had the user tracks, how is it on the 360 and PS3 can you add your own music collection?

Music is sick.

R.E.M., Marley brothers, Nas, Swizz Beatz, Lil' Wayne, talk shows

ahhhhhhhhhh

102.7 the BEAT!

OK I want to emphasize I completely SUUUUUUUCK so far at this game. I've played all the other GTA games on PC and have never played on Xbox like I'm playing now. I'm only 5% into the game, so far the game is pretty easy, but I'm going to be in BIG trouble soon. I can't drive, I can't run or fight well so I might need a little help.
Has anyone found any weapons so far? I've looked a little. If you find some note where you find them.
Has anyone/everyone found that rich guy that gives Nicco $100? Are there any more people like that?
I don't care about spoilers.

The game is TOTALLY awesome so far!!!

The trick for fist fight is targeting your subject (L2). kick first and follow with a punch combo, wait till he gets near u and repeat.

If you have either a bat or knife (both can be obtained during the first 5% of game play), you can pretty much take down a pedistrian unharm. This is especially the case with knife. *Bat can be found in the empty lot right across street from your home.

Shotgun can be obtained by steal police cars parked on the street. Usually, there is one parked close to your home.

Regarding handgun, just take your bat to some bad neighborhood and start beating ppl on random. Soon enough, someone will drop a handgun with lots cash.

The driving physic is different now... u just need to learn brake before turn.

Anybody get drunk at a bar and go driving yet? That crap is very amusing. They shout and yell and jump in front of cars. And driving...wow forget about that, I stole a Escalade or something, the big fancy SUV. I ran into everything that I tried not to hit. Too funny...too drunk!

Just played for 4 hours after picking up my special edition copy. Here are my thoughts:

I would not hesitate to recommend this game. It's difficult to put down. What makes it a great game are the little things like when the car jacked victims hang on to the door while it's open and they're screaming expletives at you as you driving off or when you get ejected through the front windshield when you crashed too hard

A lot has been said about the graphics. My 2 cents: On foot graphics suck. The characters don't look that great for a game that was so hyped. In car graphics are awesome. Liberty City passing by as you're being chased by the LCPD at high speed looks and feels awesome. The physics and AI are also good. Bodies tumble off the bumper realistically. The first time you hit a person into another car and they richochet off it into another, you'll form and evil grin.

Voice acting is great and the storyline is hilarious. I think that Michelle chick is a undercover cop but anyway.

What's been talked about most are the graphics in this game, but that's the last thing that you'll notice. What you will notice is that this is great game. Great gameplay. Great storyline. Good voice acting and characters. A game that makes you grin when you cause enough mayhem to have police helicopters chasing you

Awesome game

The detail of this game is AMAZING. its all the little things about it that just make you say wow.

After playing GTA4 for about 2½ hours, I can say it doesn't live up to ANY of the hype.

Single player: The missions are boring and menial. I like how you have a choice of what ones you do, and how you can blow people off, but other then that the single player is pretty poor. I highly doubt I will ever beat the game.

Graphics: With all the review sites giving this game a full 10 for graphics, they should have been Assassins Creed meets Burnout Paradise. What we got was alot better then GTA3, but the graphics are pretty poor. I got a budget racing game awile ago, it was $35 new, and the graphics blow GTA away. There really is no excuse for the graphics being under par with a game of this caliber.

Fighting system: I've found the gun system acceptable, but the hand-to-hand combat is horrible. In the previous GTA games you could just go on the street and kick some random guys ass with a few clicks, then run away with his money. Now, you get into a boring 5 hour long boxing match, and every other person on the street jumps in against you. I wanted to kick one guys ass, not get into a street brawl with 15 other people.

Driving/cars: This is the most improved part of the game. While the car damage model could be done a ton better (still get the flying into something and only denting the corner of your car effect), it is okay can can be fun. I especially like how if you hit something head-on too hard, your guy flys out the front windshield. As for driving, I really wished they had let the cars turn better at high speeds, but I guess they were going for a more realistic approach.


I give the game 6/10 overall. Note that I'm mostly going over the negative parts, as everyones already said enough praise about the game. My opinion that it's a sub-par offering stands though.

All your criticisms are valid. But IMO, I don't think you know how to play this game. Driving around and causing havoc is a lot more fun than trying to complete tasks and the beat the game. I think your personality doesn't suit this game.

On our last date, I launched Michelle off of the back of a bike into a brick wall She called me psycho and left, but who cares, that ***** is annoying. Waiting for a better chick to come along

Seriously though, I think Rockstar's aim for this game is to be a little more realistic. Pick a fight with someone in a bad neighborhood, don't expect just to whoop their ass and take off easy. Try to take a turn at 100mph and you're not going to make it easy. Run into a wall at high speed and Michelle goes flying off the back of your motorcycle and you've lost your poon for the night. See where I'm going with this?

The only reason I did career mode at all was because running around causing havoc wasn't as fun as in the others, and everyone said the career mode was great.
