Its an okay game, it curtainly live up to its score. Though it didnt live up to full attraction. :p Like some people hate GTA4. I say the story is well executed, regardless the lacking gameplay mechanics. The multiplayer is hardcore dead on, but then the way they managed the options, interface, and organization in it totally flopped it's potentual upside down. You now got a unstable online system, people commonly being unable to connect, people having issues with games they join and leaving THEN having to wait up to 5 minutes just to search another! Then it says lost connection! EWW. Then their party joining system is fucked. Then they dont have team deathmatch as a secondary choice within the matchmaking system. Way to go! *clap clap*

Gametrailers gave it a 9.8, gametrailers actually has some real professional reviewers.. SOMETIMES. They pointed out the reason is that the game contains absolutely no innovation. Innovation is an important thing. Lots of games fail to keep up with that. If not innovation, floods of content would make up for it, IF the gameplay can back it up.

Being classical and traditional is a good thing, yes. Though you can ALWAYS. Cant stress this enough. ALWAYS make it into something innovative. Everything has been done in art, but that doesnt mean you can do it your own way. They even tried copying everyone else with their matchmaking to the point of not taking care of any of the content they serve to ensure the users UTILIZE it and enjoy it in convenience to create the serious and competitive enviroment.

Yesterday I started getting problems with it. It would give me disc read errors every single time. I can cross the street, but soon enough it crashes.

For GTA? I would think so. You can beat it in probably 25 hours or so. And I mean, they don't really have much you can do afterwards, also. I was already 75% done with the game when I beat it. And not to mention, most of the cell phone numbers are "busy" after you beat it.. so there's only a few friends you can hang out with and shit. They did a bad job on the game after you get through the missions. It's really disappointing.

GTA 3 was exactly the same. And then they expanded (Property and such).
When they when from GTA2 to 3, they created a fully 3D world. With 4 they re-created the whole world from scratch again.

It's not a perfect game, I don't know how it's supposed to live up to its scores. However, the game is a ton of fun with the new physics and mechanics added, I'm a personal fan of the jihad method use on cops. The writing and VA'ing is top notch as usual but I can't help but feel that this game is something I've played before... a thousand times before. I will say I throughly enjoyed whatever little time I've had with this game.

I just want the damn friend invites to work. I have yet to go online with a friend, other than being able to join random games.

But yea, I was disappointed that they gave you less to do in the city. Completing the Most Wanted list gave me nothing and there seems to be nothing else you can do with extracurricular vehicles (ambulances, fire trucks, taxis, etc.). They did a good job with the game's main content, but where's all the fun "do this whenever you want to" side stuff?

Although I do note the severe annoyance called the friends mini games.

(in middle of doing mission)

Cousin! Want to go bowling?

(is forced to go bowling wasting minutes of my life and pounds on my electricity bill doing something that I don't even like in RL)

(takes anger out by mounting the pavementin a police car... satisfaction...)

Well yes you have the choice, but then the game punishes you for not fufliling it's boring minigames.

And it seems that they always call me just before I go into missions, although I do laugh in the ones during, especially that particular quote.

I just don't understand the lost potential in the game. They get rid of the staple extras, like picking up passengers in a taxi cab or saving lives in an ambulance, and instead of giving us something new, we're flaunted with possibilities that were never made use of. Can't do a getaway robbery when you hijack an armored security? Can't drive a bus on its rounds to make extra money? Can't pick up celebrities in a limo? I don't mind the loss of the original missions if there were replacements for them, but they gave us nothing but a few hand-me-down police events. Blah.

I still like the game. I've just got to gripe about this.

I agree. They really did take a lot of fun things out. I was wanting to be able to rob a bank, but noooo. Part of me thinks that they're going to make us buy the extra stuff like that off Xbox Live and etc, so they can make more profit. Lol.

True, but is spending that extra month of development time to add in bank robbery worth it to the overall experience? It's great to have a lot of variety, but eventually you could add in some many features you'd add another year of dev time to the game, and it's not worth it at that point.

Actually, considering they have something like that in the main story, it wouldn't be much trouble at all. They could have practically copy and pasted it, added a little bit of difference to it and hey.. a whole new, fun minigame that would be another way to earn cash.

Yea, but like I said, they could have at LEAST left in what's already become a norm for the series. Good-bye to the old and hello to nothing new is kind of meh. I'm just hoping that in future possible updates, we can play pool, bowling, etc. with others in free mode online.

Uhh... what's stopping them from adding certain stuff back in? Like I said before, GTA4 is a whole new set of GTA games. New toys means new options. I'm hoping they add a Property dealio like in VCS in the next one.

Well well well... who did this first... I believe it was EA Sports. They would intentionly remove features and add new ones in a cycle. Each year, you would 'lose' features and gain 'new' ones.
