So I've at last got to spend a few hours on GTA4, so was all the hype worth it? In one word, YES!
How great is this game? I've hardly done anything at all in it but it just feels really special, there's just something about it, the city feels so alive, everything just works. This is the first GTA game I did not want to just go and jack a car 2 mins into playing and I've yet to fire a gun in single player, the main character that you play, there's a real human quality to him that's been pointed out in reviews, but after playing I now get 100% what they mean, This guy would not just go out and jack a car, this is a guy that will do bad things because they must be done to survive, but so far he's not a guy that does bad things to get off on them. This game as a very RPG feel to it and I love it:D
So many amazing moments in just a few short hours of playtime, The way it started to rain, the animations when it did, the headlights on the cars, being able to put on full beam, the way you start up the car, the way you can leave the engine running or turn it off, the detail on the cars, the mobile phone, the music, the voice work, the graphics (wow! That water), the scale, the detail. The game is just sublime in every way so far.
I'll not be playing any more tonight, but I can't wait for another sessions in Liberty City tomorrow:D
Here's what you get in the GTA IV box for those who don't have it yet (and if you don't WHY???) You even get 1 month free Gold to Xbox Live so there's no excuse not to try out the fantastic Multi-Player.
