That was a great review zen, thanks for posting the link to it in my locked thread. I can see my opinions of the game differ greatly from yours, but i'm a GTA fan your not, as you posted in the review. This was one of the only games i have been looking forward to this generation and i felt let down, its not the GTA i love and thats a big problem for me.

But i'm also not a fan of RE or SMG or OoT, as my opinions of my time playing SMg are not very high, But thanks for beaing Honest in your review.

What were your complaints Griffin?  Mine were mostly the lack of humor, odd vehicle controls (although some people love them), and that the cover system is really really awkward indoors. 


This is what i had posted in the other thread.

"Does anyone else fell that GTA4 has not lived up to the hype, it feels like an updated GTA3, and does not feel as good as GTA:VC or GTA:SA.  The story was OK after i thought about it after awhile, it felt worse then VC and SA, the radio is better then 3 and SA but its lacking compared to VC.  There is no FBI after 5 stars anymore, there is no army after 6 stars either.  There are no police bribes and you can't enter paint spray shops when cops are around either. 

The camera and controls are not as good as they were in SA.  There are hardly any weapons compared to the other games.  There is no Tank and there is no Hunter from what i have seen so far.  Trying to exit one car and enter another one during a car chase with the cops is suicide.  After 2-3 stars all the cops have shotguns, and they just plow into any car you are near and it kills you. 

You are also forced to use cheats to get anough ammo or weapons to engage the cops for extended amounts of time.  You have almost no cash aswell.  Each time you die you lose over 10k cash, i have lost over 250k from dieing in this game so far, and spent about 150k on weapons and only have 600k or so left." 

 But i just found out from SSj12 there is the hunter but you need to kill the 200 Flying rats

i also posted this to one of the response's in the other thread

"I was expecting the game to be more like the GTA games i have played for the past 10years. Instead they have taken the fun factor out of walking around and killing stuff, this is why the GTA:SA sold 21.5mil copies. The cover system is also useless, i have spent 10mins in cover since i bought the game out of over 50 hours. It adds nothing to the game."
