LOL yep deffo not for the kids, best game ever made for replay value though, just pick it up and search an entire bunch of cities for something to do, or kill, or drive, or fly ect

hours of fun :)

Pretty excited for this too altho i'm one of the few people that thought GTA IV was pretty much the worst in the series. Beatiful graphics but lost the excitement of the previous releases. No "wow" moments. So hoping for better.

Plus a friend of mine has a track on the soundtrack which is beyond cool so look out for "Shine A Light" by C90s. :D 8)

I might hold out a while on this one. It might end up in my christmas stocking.

My next game purchase should be WindWaker HD :wink:

I haven't seen anything about GTA 5. After the last shambles I just lost interest. What's the story with the new one?

There are no plans for GTA V to be released on the xbox one or ps4. Also, GTA IV was/is the best game ever invented! I can't believe all the negativity on here surrounding it? I still find time to play it now and it's been out 5 years. Can't wait till 00.01 Tuesday morning cos' i'm there man :D I've also booked the day off when i pick my day 1 release Xbox one up but that's because i'm a ****ing nerdy bastard :mrgreen:

I had two main issues with GTA IV ...well three actually. The first thing i noticed was that the game was very dark, and by that i mean I couldn't actually see what the hell I was doing! My TV is fine but that issue really got on my tits in the early levels.

Secondly, and it's been a while since I played the game, the controls were very awkward. It's like they fiddled around with a system that worked well in San Andreas for no good reason.

Thirdly I never actually got to the end of the game. For some reason after one of the final missions it just stopped giving me anything to do. I always thought it could have been to do with the drawn out dating missions. Just got bored and gave up.

However, this is basically a good game despite the niggles. Some of the side games were excellent. I liked how you could get pissed in the pub and then it was like a warning what happens if you drink drive! Scenery was great but quite repetitive. Some nice side games and activities.

GTA IV was not a terrible game but I wouldn't say it's the best of the series.

Ive just completed the game and am now trolling through all of the side missions.

Police Most Want, Secret Packages which actually are pidgeons you have to kill and unique stunt jumps. Very laborious but I MUST GET THOSE TROPHIES!!!!!!!!!!!

There, im calm now!!

I agree with you x-pack, i had to turn my TV brightness up on some parts becasue it was so dark.

**** yeh man! You just made me remember all those damn missions shooting pigeons and stupid crap like that. I think I have a book for the game if anyone's interested - £5. You're gonna need it :roll:

The other thing that just came back to me are the driving controls. When I played GTA IV I'd come straight from GTA San Andreas. You would think the controls would be the same and away you go ...nope. Driving the cars was somehow made unnecessarily fiddly. I think they changed the combat controls as well. Why? Shame because it could have been awesome.
