Holy! Awesome score for GTAIV. Definitely getting this game now. And oh yes, the PS3 version runs better.

If my English is good enough the "(particularly on 360)" part is about the texture pop-in and not the frame rate. Still, i'm getting it for the PS3 xD

Nah, frame-rate is on the 360 and pop in.


I think the framerate issues mentioned were referring to both versions. The "particularly in the 360 version" followed the "and", leaving me to believe that they meant both show framerate issues, AND the pop-in issues are more particular to the 360 version. 


Dude it cant be that bad, its almost perfect.

"The story is Oscar quality."

Am I the only one who giggled when they read this?

I'm having a tough time swallowing the rest of the review after that line.

Xbox World 360 (UK) awarded it a score of 98%, the highest they've ever given out. Their verdict:

  • + Oscar-worthy dialogue
  • + unfeasibly rich gameworld
  • + inspired mission design
IGN is not the only site saying that, thought i'd put that up there

Interesting. So, either it's a great story with stunning dialogue or game reviewers are being their typical selves and holding games to a lower standard than any other form of entertainment, raving about anything that has a story more complex than "See Dick run. Run, Dick, run."

I'm inclined to believe it's the latter.


Lets be honest if the story was on par with Jane Austen's Mafia! they would say it deserves an oscar.

I'm sure its great for games but I'm also sure Francis Ford Coppala's worst film still takes a steamy dumb on it.

 

Either way though this games will defently be epic and probably break many many records



"Back off, man. I'm a scientist."

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.

The Godfather III does not deserve to take a dump on anything other than itself.

Anyway, I agree. I'm sure the story is solid but I'm growing weary of adult reviewers fawning over pubescent bullshit in games.

25-45 hours? wtf happened to 80+ hours?

 main story, side quests arent typically added to the time to beat the game as you can do them as you want after you beat the story.

 nope framerate is steadier on the PS3 and with the optional install there are even less.
