Shoot-Em-Up games are good and all, but only when your not shooting innocent people off the streets or killing hookers. These games are sick, and really should not be played.

I picked this up a few hours ago, and have had a chance to play it. It is definally fun, I mean it is pretty much GTA 3 and GTA Vice City, with a few deeper points such as the charcters, and the size of the maps, but I think all that came at the cost of better graphics. I am sure had Rockstar put effort into creating better overall graphics they very well could have, I mean look at Manhunt, the graphics were on the verge of fantastic. This game definally feels great, the play control is nice, the work on tweaking the targeting system paid off some. It is pretty much Substance over Style, which is great for the long term, and I am sure in 3 monthes when I am sitting down still playing this game I will definally think much more highly of the effort put into it, but for now I think graphics keep it from being a trully amazing game, and I don't think tweaking it and jamming it on the x-box, will ultimately make that graphics issue go away. I doubt this will keep this game from selling a record number of games in the long run, and that definally isn't my intent, but just helping people realize what there getting.

This game is going to rock! Who did not like 3 or Vice city. I bet you cant name one apart from parents. In 3 you could go round killing people for no reason. If you did a cheat you blow peoples arms and legs off. In Vice city you could go on bikes,helecopters and there was way better cars. In the next one you can swim (Thats what I hear). If you dont like GTA games get Mario but Im geting this one.
Raciest

The following game will no doubt be one of the best selling games of the year. This game will not show any justice for the good reviews it shall recive. Also the game will not give any shame for the other best selling Grand theft Auto Series games. The game is not different to Vice City or GTA3. Even though the people at Rock Star have decided to change the race of the main character (god forbid) reviewers will not promote them selves to step down to the very judgmental people who have chosen to review this game. Even though I was not going to review this game, I have decided to because of the raciest remarks by fans of the White Grand Theft Auto (WGTA) series.
Now that I have said what I wanted to say to the reviewers I have four very clear words that I would like to say to you about the new GTA game.
GAME OF THE YEAR!
AWESOME

Dont get me wrong im a huge fan of the grand theft auto series. its not like im some looking down on you parent who hates vieolonce and or rockstar games- publisher of gta for promoting vioelence. rather im someone who likes a fun and enjoyable game and i just didnt find it with san andreas. while most of the missions are challenging and can be beaten with some practice. others are frustratingly difficult and will require hours of pateince to beat. hours i did not have trying to fit school my job and everything else into the picture. there was this one mission only about 8 percent into the game that i just cant beat no matter what i do it just cant be done. it requires you to hit a series of buttons REALLY fast and with einstein accuracy until you can beat out an opponent of somekind and theyre all really really good. ive had other people try it for me and they all fail as well. i would love to give this game 5 stars but i cant because of its difficulty. definitely only for hardcore gamers casual gamers will want to rent first to see if they can handle the tremendous difficulty. if youre new to the gta series go with vice city. which also looks better and sounds better as well.
BY FAR THE BEST OF ROCKSTAR!

I own and played all GTA games. This is by far the BEST ever! I mostly like the fact that when "Carl" goes in water, he can swim. In the other games, the main character always died when he fell in. I like the freedom to do anything & they have more vehicles available than the others games. There are some cheat codes out already that really help. One in particular can get you $250,000. I keep repeating the code to give me $1 Million dollars. Then I go to the hills and buy myself my dream home. Then I get myself a Harley & an off-road vehicle & do some off-roading in the mountains. Then, on a nice day, one can go to the beach, jump into a boat & go for a nice ride/swim. It's so life like. I love the freedom period. It makes you think, why play this if you can do it in real life? It's just fun. Fantasy is enjoyable. My ultimate fantasy would probably be, living in this game. Examples of vehicles to ride: dirt bike, harley, go-kart, suv's, campers, semi, boats, small airplanes, helicopters. And you can get yourself some new threads if you wish. Also "Carl", can buy food, then go to the gym for a workout! The possibilities are endless. I give Rockstar Games 10 stars! You have outdone yourselves this time! I love this game! So, what are you waiting for? Go out & buy this game right now! You won't be disappointed! Trust me!
Close to Perfection

What can I write that hasn't already been said? I won't waste my time telling you great this game is. All in all, no flaws. I hated the flying missions, but overall I loved it.
On the contrary, it's not video games that causes kids to conduct violence, it's the parents that don't take the time to educate their children on fantasy and reality.

Another Grand Theft Auto game, of course it will be good. Diminishing excitement? I think not. The fellas at Rockstar know that what they have is good and they will do nothing but make it better. I cannot honestly say what I expect for this game, since the previous two have suprised me so much, but I can clear up any confusion you may be feeling about how good it will be. We've seen what Rockstar can do, not only in the GTA games but it's other games also, so expect no less than truly amazing.
