I finally rented it this week and I am finding it really boring. I can't play it more than half an hour before I become completely uninterested. Is there something I'm not understanding or is my taste in games that different from reviewers who gave it nearly perfect scores?

If this is supposed to kill the Wii, it's about as effective as a nerf gun.

you're about 2 months late

the game gets better later on. the initial 5-6hours is boring.

its a excellent game, but defiantly not as good as all the hyped up scores say.

Simply put, GTA IV is the same exact formula as any other GTA game in the past. Your not wrong but the reviews were written based on hype.

I for one, played the game one time and unlocked one achievement and never played the game again. I still own it and its in my library but I don't see any reason playing it and I am playing GTA: Vice City Stories on the PSP.

1. How are you playing it?

2. Maybe you just have different taste from others. I, for one, don't like Zelda. Yet I adore Okami. But you don't see me making threads about it because I could easily make one at Gamefaqs where everything is boring and insignificant.

You just don't get it.

Well, you just have different tastes...

They need to change up the whole "Rags to Riches" Story that every GTA Follows. You listening R*

lol, why am i not surprise by this thread ?

Your not alone I own GTA4 and it bored the crap out of me.
