Review of the Special Edition Items

This is for people still deciding between the regular and special editions.
I have over 15 special edition games in my collection. I have never seen a special edition as elaborate as this. For an extra thirty you get a wide variety of quality bonuses.

First thing you will realize is that it is a large, heavy box. Slide off the cardboard box and inside is the safety deposit box. This box is sturdy and has a decent amount of room. I would not say use this thing as a safe, but it is nice to store things in. It come with two keys.

The art book is probably the nicest surprise in here. It contains some incredible production art for the game. It is a 30 page (or so) hardcover book. Not a pamphlet like I was expecting. The quality of this thing is amazing. For me it was worth the extra thirty alone.

The soundtrack was the reason I got the special edition. I thought I would like a lot of the songs on there. I did enjoy most of them, but likely not all the songs will fit your tastes. Either way nice bonus. I would think they would release a more complete version down the line.

You also get a Rockstar logo keychain which is nice.

It also contains a duffel bag. It is a surprisingly good size. If you travel often you may be able to put this to good use. It is also good if you go to a gym often.

Of course you also get the game which is the most important thing of all.

If you feel burned by previous limited editions there is little to fear here. This is a great deal for collectors and grand theft auto lovers alike.

This Game is Great Best Ever!

The games great but after only one week of owning it the save function started too play up. And while i was getting too a good point in the game and the out of no where i have too goo right back too the beggining of the game again. Im not disrespecting the game because it is a awsome game and the special edition package is awsome too. Its just Amazon sold me a bad copy. So while I could be getting further into grandtheft auto 4. Im getting further into Call of Duty 4 witch i bought from amazon also no problems on that one.

Where's my game?

I preordered the game about 2 months ago. The day it comes out i get a email from amazon, sayin they are having trouble charging my card. Why would they wait till the day the game comes out to tell me this! I've been patiently waiting for 2 months, and people that just ordered it the day before, got it the next day. Now I have to wait untill May, 12 to get it. I'm letting Amazon go on this one since its Grand Theft Auto 4, next time I wont be so nice.

i'm not the best gamer in the world but i just have to say glenn beck is an idiot. surely there's better ways to learn how to run drugs, pimp hoes, and kill cops. after playing gta4, even after the months that will go by, i still don't think i'll last more then 10 minutes if i start killing cops in the real world. even as good as this game is. that said, the amazon pre-order was worth it. i got this before my reserve copy from gamestop so i ended up giving my reserve copy to a friend. the license plate was an awesome addition. nicely packaged. i also appreciated the fact i was able to order this for $90 the day before release and get it upon waking up on the official release date. i wonder how many pedestrians u.p.s. ran over to get it to me... i'm still laughing at the idiots on ebay or craigslist paying $100 or so when they could just get it from amazon. for $90. with the license plate. and new. thanks amazon. well done.

The game is superb but there is no color except white and black. What can I do with this problem and there was no key in the safe box.

My eyes are bloodshot, my hands hurt, and I can't walk away.

This is the best game that I have EVER played. I have been a fan of the GTA series since part 2, and I never thought that they would progress as they have. The game is so much fun with a compelling single player storline, and then you are also given the option of jumping into multplayer, which is stunning. I could not have asked for more. My only complaint is that they released the game the same week as my finals, so theres no chance of me studying. lol. Great job Rockstar.

Get 'em whlie they're hot!

If you have been a fan of the previous Grand Theft Auto franchise games, you will not be disappointed. Guaranteed!. This latest installment resemble previous gameplay mechanism of the earlier installments. You complete missions to progress the story in the open-world Liberty City.

You can develop relationship between bunch of friends you met in the game, depending on your relationship with them. They have speical ablities to help you in tricky situations.(Sell you discounted weapons, lower your wanted stars etc,.)

Overall, Rockstar had added many features and activities you can do with your friends than ever before such as Bowling, Darts, Drinking, Strip Clubs and many more. You'll never find yourself running out of things to do in the city.

The extras from Special Edition are nice. Duffle Bag and SDB is useful for many purpose. Soundtracks and Artbook are also nice merchandise. Also, the Amazon Exclusive GTA IV License Plate will impress many friends to come.

amazing city, tedious missions

overall this game is a 10, but the missions all seem the same at points, I loved the story and apperently there are different endings so you can play through multiple times, the gun play has been upgraded heavily from the other gta's and the action is more intense, the car chases also seem much more intense and the rag doll effects of people make for some humorous situations while driving I guess you could say, in a month or so I may play through this again.
