wounded, I have no idea how you find the missions hard. I'm coping with the handling but I oversteer to much when I hit the handbrake. I have only died twice in about 20 missions (or more). Another annoying part is when you fail to jack a car and random people attack you. Yes it's reality with people stopping a car jacker, but it can get annoying.
Gamespot gave GTA IV a 9.9/10 for 360...and 10/10 for PS3? lmao why?
PS3 > 360, the only explanation :tongue:Quote:

dunno, but form what i heard, the 360 version should have slightly extra content and multiplayer options cos apparently they bought the rights to get extra stuff than the ps3 version.Quote:

The PS3 version got 0.1 more in score cause the console's original brightness \ contrast is higher than the 360. The 360 version's shadows is really dark and sometimes making it impossible to see where you're going, so you'll have to increase the brightness, contrast and saturation to make it look like the previous versions (GTA III, VC etc). This is something incredibly small, but it does make an impact on the gameplay.
Hand to Hand actually my favorite.. :D .. same here...Quote:

But unfortunatly, I still haven't got it. Can't wait. =[
the game doesn't deserve a 10/10 imo. they removed way too much content from previous titles (most likely because of the engine differences) and there wasn't enough added in to replace it. i spent a lot of time on SA and this game made me feel robbed content-wise.
the radio stations aren't better or worse than previous titles, they're just different. i enjoyed listening to the Liberal and Conservative talk radio and watching Republican Space Rangers on the tv's. this game's fine point isn't the soundtrack, unlike vice city.
another thing that annoyed me was the lack of contrast in environments. it's just like Liberty City in the original GTA3, that's all there is - a jungle of concrete and steel. San Andreas had deserts and rural counties. these are things that could easily have been added considering how much more R* likes their new game engine.
the gameplay is good, but it can get a bit monotonous. Niko is the best lead man of the series by far. the ps3 version of the game should've been tested better for its game-killing freeze glitch that is affecting even users of this forum including myself.
if i had to review this game, and if my site rated seventh-generation titles, i would've given GTA4 a 9.4/10.
1) So it's annoying that the physics are actually good now? I actually like that fact as now it takes some real skills to drive fast. :1:Quote:

3) What's wrong with that? Every GTA game except for Vice City/Vice City Stories had 3 sections. It's a way to pace out the game and give users a since of accomplishment when they get to the new areas. At lest in this game you can see the whole city at any time by going into the online multiplayer game.
I hear you on that. It's a shame they removed all the leveling up abilities, needing to eat, etc... Though it is more easily played now for none hard core fans but it would have been cool to have that stuff.Quote:

The talk radio was always my favorite in the GTA series and it's even better in this game. Funny to listen to all the Liberal and Conservative trash talk on it. :icon6:Quote:

Though hopefully they can take this concept and meld it with the one in SA with their next game. Now that would be amazing to see.
I've yet to really see any game-killing freezes. The only one I've see is it hanging under first load but a restart solved that.Quote:

Just wait for a patch like with all new console games.

Had this not been a seventh-generation game, they wouldn't have been able to patch it.Quote:

The handling of cars are physics based now, meaning they are realistic. The hand-to-hand combat isn't better or worse imo, it's different. I liked in SA how you could learn different fighting styles, but that doesn't exist here. Also, unlocking the city is the normal flow of a GTA game. It gives you something to work towards.Quote:

Also, the reason the PS3 version > the 360 version is because the 360 version has several loadtimes and graphics issues. The PS3 version only has one loadtime - at the start of the game.
That's true and if that was the case then it wouldn't have been released for another few months. :1:Quote:

Who knows if any will show up. Lazlow is somewhere on the radio as I keep hearing ads about his return. Though I wonder who else will make an appearance as R* typically likes to bring back old characters.
OG Loc was an ace character though I do feel Brucie is an even better alternative. That roid head always makes me laugh when he goes off talking about something. :icon6:Quote:

Aww man, Brucie is really annoying friend. Always gotta chill and party w/ him -_-. Gets on ur nerves... and then calls u a fag when u dont hang out with him.
Just had some major story changes happening. Shits getting deep now. O_O
That's why he so ace. So jacked up on roids that you just got to love him. Even though he is annoying at time. XDQuote:
