very different games but if i really had to compare them i would say infamous, i had fun the entire time and am already playing again, gta4 was fun for the first city but then it started getting worse and worse, i struggled to beat the game, only time i go back to play is to just rampage around, but even that is not as fun as the older GTAS.

"Sandbox" isn't a game genre.

Its more like a type of environment i.e. Crysis had sandbox levels. So you can't compare game quality based on that aspect alone.

If you want to compare just the "sandbox" aspect alone, then GTA takes the cake as its larger world with interior models, vehicles and interactive NPCs.

I just couldn't get into GTA4. I mean driving around and killing people and then running away from cops was cool but the actual fighting to me was poor. I loved the ease of movement in Infamous coupled with the FPS like controls for super powers. I just got bored of GTA4 after a few sittings.

If the focus is fun, Infamous takes the cake.

Considering how utterly useless the money from GTA4 is which is basially the award for 95% of the missions, Infamous wins this.

Considering this is a thread about which one you prefer, that's pretty irrelevent. ;)

InFamous, I beat the game about 97% through (Can't find the last three blast shards), and I only got tired of it once, and that was looking for the remaining shards. In GTA4 I can only play that for about an hour until I get bored, but InFamous can last me for hours.

Grand Theft Auto 4 hands down... Seen this exact poll done elsewhere and GTA 4 wins by quite a bit, funny how things are so different here.

Anyways, huge fan of inFamous(favorite game of 2009 so far), but GTA 4 was just a lot more flawless overall then inFamous, while both were lacking, what was actually there in GTA 4 was more flawless than what was there than in inFamous. Obviously my opinion.

I like inFAMOUS

I don't like GTA4

The characters are also more memorable,

better acting,

NPCs have more personality,

the story and personality is more fleshed out with Niko Belic,

more to do-use the internet,

tvs, jobs, accessories, music radios

many weapons to use.

correct. Naturally Infamous is a new game and have more attention initially over an older game there is a bit of bias-since this SystemWars-more Cows more points towards an exclusive.

it should be Infamous vs Prototype.

I have this feeling it would be skewered towards Infamous-even though form the onset of initial reviews that they seem pretty equal.

LOL, this thread comes down to: PS3 exclusive Vs. None PS3 exclusive.... On SW, PS3 exclusives all ways win!Shattered007

correct also that's one of the underlying subtle trends here in Systemwars.

Doesn't matter anyway. actual realworld outside of systemwars matters>SystemWars

inFamous was more fun even though GTA IV was a good game I had more fun with the things you can do in inFAMOUS like throw electricvity, climb buildings hover, throw electric grenades punch and kick and the levels are kick ass.

im having a blast with infamous, but i gotta choose gta

Edit: I guess I should stay on topic, I've played a demo copy and my friends copy of infamous only so far, so I can't say how long it would hold my interest, but it does feel good and has an interesting premise. GTA4's multiplayer can be really rediculously fun though, so it's a tough choice without playing more of infamous.

I don't think there is any comparison and Infamous is just new and GTAIV has been out a while. GTAIV is clearly a better game.

I've just completed Infamous (tried to be good all the way through) and I'm playing through it again straight away (this time I'll be evil :twisted:). I only played through GTAIV once... I did really enjoy it at the time but there was nothing to make me want to play through it again. Infamous is just FUN. Just wish it wasn't so buggy.

No i dont think the exclusiveness matters...i HATED GTA4 could barely finish the game once and i played through GTA vice city many times

Walker34

clearly a better game?? just because its been out longer?? could you explain why GTA4 is better

When I finally play inFamous, I'll let you know. :P
