Well I was driving...maybe that's why we never caught the crooks

Anyone watch that comedy show they have with Katt Williams and Ricky Gervais...they're both pretty funny, especially Ricky. Rockstar got those two class comedians to be on the game, bravo.

I'd say so. It didn't have the same impact on me that GTAIII had (that game blew me away) and there are loads of things that could make it better (alot of which were in the previous games ) but it's still a brilliant game.

Read (or watch) reviews of it around the internet to find out a bit more about it - rent the game if you can (there's no better way to find out whether you're going to like it or not, than actually playing it for yourself). If you've liked any of the recent GTA games, I'm pretty sure you'll like GTA IV.

GTA Race on multiplayer is good for laughs. Everyone just tries to go as fast as possible around every corner and we all end up having a massive smash....good fun.

Same, never actually beat a GTA before, only played them for a bit, and Vice City was the closest I got to actually beating it.

This is class though Joobieo, I reccomend it for any action/adventure/mature players...very fun game.

Well whatever works for you

I like going to the shops and pre-ordering games months before if it's worth it...but I usually go there anyways, shop around to see if they have any rare games worth buying at discount price, or used.

i like to take out my real life stress from the day on a few innocent passers by (in the game ). i like to smash their heads in with my baseball bat and then stamp on their heads til they move no more. i find it theraputic
however, i usually only get to do 2 or 3 people before getting chased by the police, then i lose all my wepons when i get caught. i would like to be able to turn off the police just for these little 20 min sessions i have when i get in from work

I want a bigger phone...considering I can't see anything that's being shown on it pretty much...clearer picture even when you're in the light areas. (I know they were trying to make it more realistic but honestly).

Also better handling of cars IMO. So that new comers don't have to get used to using the E Brake and Brake together. San Andreas had better steering.

Also...graphics, I know GTA isn't about graphics, but some of the gfx in this game are down right terrible, I've seen better on certain games of last gen. Jus' having better light filtering will not make everything look good...although the water looks great IMO.

This thread has now been moved here to Xbox 360 but there is also a thread for PS3 gamers in the relevant forum.

Currently around 25% complete, having only been able to play a hour or two here and there since I got it on Saturday.

However I just got back from my final presentation for the year and am just adding the finishing touches to my last essay, thus meaning I now have 4 months of free time in which to play GTA in.
