Grand Theft Auto 4 Reveiw
Why i didnt like it, im not sure. Maybe because.... and i know im going to be called crazy for this too but, it was TOO realistic. It just didnt feel like GTA to me. Rockstar has produced alot of great games, GTA is easily their best series and when they released GTA4 they broke that chain of awesome-ness.
Now it didnt feel like GTA to me because they have cut out alot of great GTA features, now comparing it to GTA San Andreas. They have cut out things like being able to get a 18 wheeler truck with a massive trailer on the back and wipe out innosant by-standers, go to the country side and beat up hill billys and stealing their tractors, flying planes, having a high speed crash on a motorbike and not dieing, being able to buy propertys, its only little things like that they have removed, but it was the little things that made up a great GTA.
To me Rockstar over thought GTA4, having a phone and being able to arrange meetings with people and being able to call whoever you want, came as a shock to me, i dont quite know why, but i didnt like it. Also flying out of your car windscreen when you have a high speed crash is fun the first time, but then it just gets annoying... Things like this have completely ruined GTA for me.
But there was an upside to being overthough... It is quite a good game if you dont think of it as GTA. Example? OK.. Shooting people in the knee cap... they dont die, they try and run away and fall over. Crashing your car is pretty realistic aswell, things get mangeled and crumpeled and if you beat it too bad it doesnt simply blow up... it stops working first. Still... not GTA, it feels like Medal of honour when your shooting, and Need for speed when your driving... This may sound great but, its not.
Im sure this is a 1 in a Million type opinion.... So try GTA4, its worth the money... but me personally as a gamer... im dissapointed
