Fun game lol. Drive the luggage truck at the airport. It's practically indestructable and has the devastating power of a monster truck. Even funnier to this on the bridge in the middle of the map.

I'm still wondering why you feel the need to critisize as most of the negative things you point out have changed for IV anyway. Its almost as different as III was to GTA2.

But I suppose nothing can please everyone. ;)


as i already pointed out - i have not tried gta IV or read too much about it.
if by some chance some friend of mine would show the game and it would appear different (atleast a little more realistic in... pretty much every way i guess) then my opinion about GTA series would change.

while saying that if previous games sucked then the upcoming will suck as well isnt very bright, you must realise that from a gamer who was disappointed by the GTA series its almost the same like... need for speed series - porsche unleashed was the best of all and now they go worse and worse.. kinda lost hope for some series..

might look at some gta4 videos now..

I think you've missed the fact that the series is essentially making fun of the demographic you just highlighted. Just as much as it made fun of Elivis impersonators when it was in 2D.

If the game was about that then I wouldn't play it. :)

GTAIV isn't like that really, which is the main reason that I bought it.

ofcourse i did not play gta IV yet, but if gameplay has changed much (even a little more realism would make it a totally different experience) then... i dont see why it could be rated so high when its pretty much the same game with improved graphics and more of the same stuff youve seen in previous gta games.


I think there is a lot more realism in this one compared to the last ones (I have no clue about San Andreas due to me refusing to play it:P). For example, npcs will react differently depending on where you shoot them. Another great features is the use of the Euphoria engine. It makes the physics alot more realistic than just silly ragdog engines. There was a lot more realism added, but I am not going to list all of it because I don't have all day.

As to it being more of the same stuff, there is a plethora of new features, including multiplayer.

And why are you posting if the series holds no interest to you? Overrated they may be, but some of us enjoy them for their quirky charm and surprising humour.

I'm just amazed how far its come from the 2D run down the hari krishnas/elvis impersonators games of the 90's!


while freedom is cool in gta series, there are lots of things that really suck there.

gameplay: i think any shooter game fan would rather see combat simmilar to games like... hitman or even better - max payne, than some insanely fast, hysterical arcade stuff.
then there is driving... while making it a pure simulator would ruin the fun, but it could atleast have arcade simmilar to need for speed series, mafia or maybe even driver (1,2 not 3,4).
basically you are given a mix of all kinds of games, without any part of the game being any good. i see no sign of quality in that. so yeah.. its overrated.

and ofcourse the whole theme... not sure what kind of people you guys are, but personally im tired of all that mainstream crap, bling bling everythere, tuner cars, lowrider cars, 'cool' street talk etc etc etc.

Although GTA2 was the only one I could play for more than a few weeks, I'll probably play it for the online play. I'll just wait for the PC version to come out in like a year, give or take.
