Gorgeous Mayhem - Forgiving Action

What can I say that probably hasn't been said before? The game is great, the graphics are stunning, sights remnicent of NY are so realistic, that when I gained access to Algonquin I sorta already knew my way around.

What I liked about GTA4 over the previous titles is the way in which missions were "doable". In the previous titles I always came to a point where I couldn't complete a certain mission that would move the story along. So I ended up just driving around being a maniac. In GTA4, the aiming reticule offers both auto aiming and free aim. This allows you to lock on to your adversaries, not available in previous versions. The car's damage also seem VERY forgiving. It is a bit harder to kill pedestrians, that's good, at least the cops won't be chasing you as much as in other versions.

That being said, the title to this review is Gorgeous Mayhem - Forgiving Action, this means, everything looks as believable as a cartoon rendition of a city can be on your TV. If you stand still, you can actually watch the shadows move as the sun sets. The fact that I can actually get through the missions a bit more easily makes the game fun for me.

Watch out for Michelle, she's a hottie.

Go steal a helicopter in south Algonquin and have some aerial looks around the city. It's fun for a while, then you'll want to get back on the streets.

Anyway, not much more to say, just PLEASE don't think you can act out any of the things you see in this game in real life. The consequences are REAL and then you won't be able to play GTA5 when it comes out.

Have fun.

Fantasticly fun game with a few glitches

I had GTA4 reserved and I picked it up the day it came out, so I obviously got one of the first production runs. It has many glitches which show up throughout the game. Overall I had a complete blast, though I had to restart the console a few times. The graphics are amazing in HD and they should have fixed the problems by now.

GTA4 Rules!!!!

I will keep my comments simple. For those who have never played the GTA series, this latest installment will blow you away!! I suggest playing Vice City and San Andreas first, then play GTA4 on an LCD TV last. I have a personal connection with GTA 4 because I'm originally from the Astoria section of Queens, NY. Let me tell ya, the attention to detail is amazing compared to NYC. The First thing I did before I started any missions or mayhem, was simply steal a convertible, and drive around the city. Times Square is awesome at night, and if you drive down by the Hudson river at dawn, you can catch a glimpse of the sun rising over Liberty City AKA Manhattan!! Unlike the cartoon-ish look of Vice City, which I enjoyed also, GTA4 has a very gritty, urban look which gives the player a sense of realism. I wish the twin towers were still standing, that would have been an awesome sight as well. Rockstar, has once again, out done themselves!!

Much Fun

The most enjoyable part of this game is being able to hunt down and attack your buddy online. :)

Try it seriously, open up party mode and use a set of rules. The person being chased can't just shoot the hunter. Think of the hunter as a terminator. My buddies and I have had many fun chase scenes. :D
