I travelled to my mates house today and watched him mess around on gta 4 for a bit before we went out.
The gta game that i saw him play seemed very different from san andreas, it seemed to be more focused and refined, whereas san andreas seemed to be more diluted somewhat than this version.
When i asked him about whether he thought i should buy it he suprised me though, he said "rather than a complete step forward I think this game is more of a........... step forward one step to the side, followed by a step backwards and finally a step diagonally forward to the right." Obviously with all of this stepping involved i was quite confused:S. He explained by saying that the game is less "playing around fun" and more "serious fun" , "kind of the difference between mario kart and Gran turismo" he went on to say. I was quite suprised by this as being as he is the worlds biggest GTA fan (except he doesnt except GTA Londons exhistance).
Aaaanyways i went the long way about saying this, so can anyone tell me what features are in San Andreas that are not in GTA 4 and the other way around.
From the short veiwing that i had they seemed to trim some of fun fat off of the game replacing it with serious fun muscle, although at the moment im not sure which i prefer.
*so 4 has aiming sys, phone, taxi system, pool!!, darts!!!, drunk driving:D, better dates, ++ improved story and more interactive world(internet, tv etc) .
I know san andreas had tanks, car modding, more weapons, weapon advancement, car dealership, truck pizza mission, arena, driving/flying licence, aeroplanes/jet pack, split screen + fighting styles, and more customisable character.
Sorry for the massive post and listings, its just that im either gonna get "shit canned" 5 times or buy the system and its a very close call! so if anyone could tell me any more pros/cons about the game and which has better lasting appeal i would v. much appreciate it!:D
Endure. In enduring, grow strong.
