Im in work, my mate just got me a copy for £37. its on my desk cant wait til 8.30 when i finish and get home!!!

After playing it for an hour I love it! The car handling takes some getting used to but it is much improved I love that you use triggers as opposed to Saints Row where you had to use the on/off buttons, making slow driving painful.

Sort of, if you cross into the other islands that are road blocked, you get an instant 6 stars and life becomes very short but incredibly interesting

is it a map huge ?, from what people have seen will it be a long play ?

 

[Hunders]

What in the world... I just received an email from a big game store that I didn't pre-order from, although I think it is a sister company, giving me codes for live points and GTA gamer pics.

Wierd.

GTA IV is officially the best game ever as The Beat 102.7 has DJ Green Latern as a DJ.

It doesn't look big on the paper maps, but it is massive when you are in game...

The detail they go down to though is outstanding!

Whattt I think theyre amazing, I wasnt expecting Mass Effect graphics all over..but the distance and animations and closeups are great imo, i love this game!

Ahhh, this is where you're not understanding me.

I didn't say the graphics are 'bad', I said I don't like them.

The visual presentation is very very nice, the shadows, smoke, animations, detail is absolutely exceptional.

But I don't like the fuzzyness of it all.

I've played every GTA game on every format and this is by far the best, but I just think they've notched up the 'artistic' style a bit too much.

 

[Psymonkee]

Get drunk first?

I'm sure you'll notice it less then

i think thats what im picking up on tbh, the others were a little cartoony and fun. and from what ive seen, this has lost a bit of that.

[ic1male]

Has anyone found a hidden package yet? I don't even know what they look like.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Azza so much for getting it after your exams

It is huge though mate... Its whats known as a "Sick Game" down at the local park!

There are pigeons in the game that glow like weapons etc and you shoot them ... theres 200 of them to get *This isnt a spoiler as its marked in the achievements*

 

[just Scott]

What're the chances of this being sold out everywhere by the end of the week? I might actually pick this up.

 

[Skully]

Well mine hasn't turned up and nowhere in stock so not a happy bunny!
