Why oh why is this game getting 10/10? Am I the only person on this planet who feels so let down? Dull game
User Rating: 2.5 | Grand Theft Auto IV X360
Everywhere I look, Grand theft auto 4 is getting 10/10 ratings and winning game of the year awards. I really don't understand this. I was so excited for GTA 4, but from the off I felt really let down. The graphics are ok on objects close by, but anything in the distance has a horrible pixellated blur, the cars are boring, and it just seems that Rockstar have decided to transform GTA into a 'serious' franchise. Back in the day, GTA was all about the laughs and the freedom, but the newest installment lacks greatly on both parts. The only funny aspect of GTA 4 are the hilarious rantings from a steroid addict gym freak on the TV who hosts a talk show (the guy that re-enacts punching people in the face). The city is large yes, but very barren and dull. There are 2 different clothing shop brands, which means almost zero character customisation, and the mini games are tedious and unrewarding (fancy another game of darts for the 58th time??) The story is boring, Nico is boring, the guns are boring (and there are hardly any may i add) and its ridiculous that you rack up thousands of dollars, but cant actually spend it, because there is nothing to spend it on. It seems the majority are hailing GTA 4 as such a good game as a gesture of denial. ADMIT it to yourselves people, this game is a let down. The game is empty. it gets a 2.5 because I like the front cover of the box. Thats it.
