GTA IV: It's Magically Delicious

[Professor S]

I've heard complaints about the driving, but I LOVE it. It makes you think and learn the layout of the streets and roads. There are all KINDS of hidden shortcuts in this game, where you can bust throughfences and 50 gallon drums to T-bone the person you're chasing.

Its realistic, which kind of fits this iteration of GTA. While GTA4 is still soaked in satire, it tends to keep the peripheral in many cases, rather than disassociating you from the experience.

And if you can't drive cause you're in a shotty car, GET A NEW ONE. My first act before I start every mission is to either 1) Make sure I have a great car and if not 2) Go get one.

This is a much more cerebral type of GTA than we've known before, and I'm loving it.
