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.

I don't have problems with the driving either...it's different at first, but when you get used to it it seems fair and balanced. You shouldn't be able to make sharp 90 degree turns going 70mph. This isn't Mario Kart. Some of the chase missions can be tough, but you shouldn't be able to pass every mission on the first attempt anyway. If anything, I'd say the game is a bit on the easy side. No complaints though, I'm loving it.

I've noticed that my favorite parts about this game are the little things. The way glass shatters. How explosions look. Things like that.


My favorite moment happened yesterday when I was playing. I was chasing some guy in a car shooting at him from my car. He swerved around a moving van and I accidently shot out the vans tires. The van swerves and its back opens and barrels fly out towards me, causing me to swerve to avoid them.


It was amazing

That's another amazing thing. Every time someone tells me something cool about GTAIV that's happened to them, it's usually something I haven't encountered myself. God I love this game.
