    Dont trust review sites, trust the msg boards.

    Game sites are bought off by ad cash most often. I give Cntrl-alt-delete credit for bashing the shit out of some games... when they are selling ad space and wind up advertising the game they're bashing, rofl.

    Dude, it's GTA, not the Sims. To be honest, I can't see myself buying it. Haze, MGS, Rock Band, Mercenaries and Killzone are what I'm looking forward to.

    Probably. It certainly looks sexy enough. A few people on my Live friends list already have it, and they said it's good.

    GOT IT! It's fucking awesome. There are far too many Hummers on the street but the graphics and storyline appear to be cream.

    Off to play moar.

    Got it last night, played for an hour.

    Its certainly different, I agree bout the hummers, but it look fucking amazing.

    I'm stuck at work atm, but I'll be home playing asap.

    Lock on system is much better, and driving (crashing too) jsut makes me want to play this game non stop!

    I'll update after a few solid hours of playing later :)

    Anyone else notice the blood smear on the car if you run over someone? I only got to play it for an hour, but it was really great to get back into the GTA games.

    I just got off of work a half hour ago, I had to open today(hooray for having to wake up at 4am). But I went straight to best buy and bought it and now am waiting on the install for the PS3.

    It's very good and very fun. Great story, great graphics, the voice acting is amazing. The new combat system is nice. I love it.

    I thinks its amazing aswell... Accept for the fact that everytime I try to joy ride in a boat I get 6 stars, I'm assuming thats because of the "terrorist acts".

    You're probably trespassing into territory that haven't opened yet.

    Went to a colleague yesterday to play. We played through the night. This game is the shit.
    (Note the "the", plzkthx).

    I just got this and I loved it, one of the greatest things ever is going up in a helicopter with no tail and just jumping for it, you fly for miles and you can even live through it if you hit the water.

    You gotta love Lil Jacob and his brother. Can't understand shit of what they are saying but loving it anyway. The radiostations are pure win too. Spent an hour last night just listening to them. Some of the stuff the moderators say are just hilarious.

    Got the game last night. Love the game so far especially the radio stations "The Beat" and the reggae one. What radio stations are you guys listening to?

    JNR. That's my favorite radio station. Easy to listen too while driving. It's Jazz.

    Liberty Rock is my favorite, but I'm biased to the genre.

    Yes, GTA IV is full of win and pwnage, not to mention readily available whores for pennies by the hour! Who can complain at those prices?
