When I heard of the coming of the next gen GTA, I was extremely excited up until the actual release date. Everything That was being said all over about this game, no doubt in my mind was going to be proven one of the best video games I played in years. All the freedom, the graphics, the sidequests, EVERYTHING.. was sopposed to put me in 'wow'; Let me say, this was totally untrue when I finally popped 'revolutionary' game into my XBOX 360 console. This game is exactly like the previous games in the series, adding the ability to watch television, surf the internet (let me add in my opinion the internet is actually pretty limited, as far as the content you can explore), and a few other small features. And the fact they actually took out the body building feature, actually didn't sit well with me, being able to put some hard effort into making your character a rock hard piece, and then flaunting it while walking down the street, was alot of fun for me. Let me also say, This game IS still fun, maybe more so if you were under a rock for years though, haven't been playing video games.. and somehow missed the GTA series up until this point. And that being, the objectives are ALL the same.. steal this car, go to this location conveniently marked by a colored dot on the bottom corner of your screen, waste this person; collect reward money, repeat. This may be all well and good for most people, But I'm looking for alot more in a video game anymore. With the additions of games such as "Oblivion" and "Mass Effect" I've been spoiled into wanting more choice, and better thought out mission objectives. In closing, this game is a decent play, to much more of the same for me, nothing that ever deserved a "10" if other titles didn't get them, nothing ground breaking, or jaw dropping, good graphics, over-rated multiplayer (halo rulez :D) and in need for some creative mission objectives, because I can't be the only one tired of chasing little dots, and then killing whatever/whoever is at the end of the "rainbow" sort of speak, lol.. peace folks.
Well, it's been about a month since I picked up GTAIV. A month of mayhem and debauchery and murder. I read the reviews when this initially came out and figured this was a must own for the 360 and that I was going to be... Read Full Review
