Grand Theft Auto IV

For any previos GTA fan , this latest installment has pushed all of the previously set boundaries to the limit. Featuring amazing detail in both the charcters and city, intuitive controls, and a huge amount of usefull add ons. For example Nikos life revolves around his friends and mobile phone, allowing the player to take conplete control of how quickly the storyline developes as well as many many interesting opportunities. Moreover small additions like being able to hail a cab, check police files on computer systems installed in cop cars, being able to break into locked cars and hot wire them, performing executions, taking cover in a similar fashion to that of gears of war, astoundingly detailed weather systems (Lighting is amazing!)great strip clubs, getting drunk, and logging in and using internet cafes to find jobs and dates. The list goes on and on and on. However if this wasnt enough , GTA can be played online, fully customisable, with a cash reward system. For those who like to team up online, this game will be simply fantastic, allowing squads to drive around in groups or solo, race each other and engage in a cops and robbers pursuit system. The possibilities seem limitless and one can only wonder how Rockstar will take us into a whole new world with a future installment.

Has definitely had hours put into making this, it is so detailed and realistic, actually makes it quite a scary experience. The realism is actually also a bad point to the game, because do people want games that symbolise boring aspects of real life or do they just want to have fun? The idea of having to keep friends and family in the game satisfied by visiting them is quite laborious. Also the driving aspect is quite dull where each car turns like its some sort of cruise ship.

In some sense the game is 1 step forward and 2 steps back from the likes of San Andreas or Vice City; ever so realistic, but less fun to play (to be honest the fact the other games were so good is how unrealistic they were, sometimes made hilarious).

The online section is a brilliant idea, but its a shame they couldn't put more focus on that. The story mode is quite good to play along, too, that's if you enjoy the driving and listening to Russian music. Shame they also got rid of the offline two-player mode.

A good buy to pass the time, and you will get alot of hours play out of this.

El mejor juego del Año.

Diversion salvo en en online que va fatal. Esperaremos al siguiente.
