Give this a 1 and you are an idiot
But wow,I was glad i was pleasently surprised. Maybe im just not too picky,but the game running :800x600 minimal view distance,traffic 25, shadow density off and all other settings high.
I got an AMD Phenom 2,3 TripleCore, 3 Giga DDR2 and 8500gt.
The game has its flaws and technical issues, but come on,tell me San Andreas was without buggs?? No way.
The story and gameplay are incredible,its like living through a huge Sopranos episode or something symilar.
People say driving a car is like driving a boat. Totally untrue, i noticed the stability of the vehicles is 99 percent the same as in San Andreas.
Some say GTA 4 lacks freedom,because in SA you could do all kind of crazy stuff.. What did you really want more? To hijack spaceships and paint your nails on different collours?? come on.. This game gives the player the vibe of a real big city enviorment,its so immersive thanks to the sum of its details.
Developers stated that this is a reboot of the series,but I was smiling when I heard Lazlo on the radio or seen images from San Andreas on the tv... meaning its all still in the same universe :-)
The soundtrack is perfect ,as allways, and the satirical modern day culture references make this game one true masterpice that will hold its place in gaming history for ever.
