I still can't get over how good this game is. I loved the previous GTA games, but the stories seemed dry - this iteration has excellent characters, cut scenes, and story elements. It's all the mindless mayhem that made the previous games so fun plus a more serious dramatic side.

San Andreas was better. God is in the details as they say. A LOT more vehicles in san andreas, your own WWII mustang type plane, BIG helicopters, hydraulics, customisation of cars. Your own airstrip, rocket packs, grey aliens, a fort, an airport with a passenger jet you could steal, a harrier jump jet, rednecks, Wu-Ze-Mu, triads, the Truth, a cop voiced by samuel L jackson, gyms, haircuts, tattoos, a much wider variety of clothes, ability to perform robberies (haven't tried that in 4 yet),martial arts, a much bigger and more diverse gameworld, a mechanic (territories) that forced you to. I love GTA4 but he more I play it, the more things I find I can't do, that I could do in san Andreas. Plus people phoning me all the time is a PITA. Also, the second 'home' you get, Mallories place, could not have been chosen worse for its location. Almost anyone who calls you while you are there, you cannot make it to them inside an hour and lose respect, and every mission that takes place on the other island takes you the same route, over and over again. Don't get me wrong it's great, but could have done with another year in development. I am now securely of the opinion, that it doesn't deserve these perfect scores. I'd give it 93%.

I suppose I'd better say a few things about the things I love in the game, like Brucie, Carmen, the latest edition of the Comet, ability to watch TV (surfing the net is pointless and a waste of time, lets face it), Darts*, comedy clubs, the mobile phone, the detail in the city, the random guys, and few other small things.

*Darts - How to finish in 6 darts...

First three darts all in the treble 20 of course.
Second three darts, either... Treble 7, Treble 20, double 20 (or treble 7, and 2 bullseyes, but once you got one in the bull, it's harder to see to get the second one)
or... Treble 17, bullseye, double 10 (or double 10 then bullseye, your choice).
There's plenty of other finishes, but those are the best ones.

Foxy, I agree that SA was bigger and had more stuff going on - but the more personal story and character development in this iteration more than makes up for it in my opinion.

I got my GTA IV [for Xbox 360] the day it came out.
I got my Xbox 360 2 years ago, NEVER had ANY problems..

6 days after owning GTA IV (last week, Monday), my 360 died.. (it got grand xbox auto'd.. hahah)

Can't believe my Xbox lived thru COD4, Halo 3, GOW, skate, condemned, and MANY more games, thru MANY MANY hours..
and only 6 days of owning GTA IV it killed my Xbox..

what luck

Heres the map to the Sultan RS.

Take the middle route, at the end of the dirt road, you'll see a house at the end, and a garage/building to the right, drive around it, the Sultan RS is heavily covered by grass.

I love the sultan RS. I have yet to finish the game yet. Campaign is SOOOOOOO long. Have you stolen cars for stevie yet. Once you steal it does it always spawn there later. Because I have to steal an infernus for him now and i dont want to give it to him since thats the only infernus i have in the game.

Yeah that car is great. Still havent started Stevie's missions yet. Im doing the " Most Wanted " at the moment, makes for a good laugh, I wont throw out any spoilers.

Lol I still havent picked up Bryce's Infernus yet, reason being I want to leave it there till I really want it LOL.

Theres a place that ALWAYS has an Infernus parked, Ill try and find it again, I keep passing it and forgetting where it is LOL. Ill try and find it and post it up. I cant even remember which part of the city its in.

Is it the place by Outlook park at the Pizza Salad Resteraunt by the rotary with the huge Archway. That only spawns for me until I do that mission for stevie.

What are the Most Wanted Missions? Are they in the cop cars?

Will check that out.

Yupp, those Most Wanted missions are in the police computer, some of them are a bit challenging.

Just choose any criminal, and it tells you what to do after.

Be warned, some might be heavily armed

I really did NOT enjoy this game at all. The perfect ten is so far off in my opinion. First off, the way the cars drive is horrible. No getting around that. I could care less how many people claim realism, the reason I am playing a video game like this is to do stuff I would never think about doing in my personal life. Nikko runs like an absolute <insert hateful word here> I have never seen anybody run like that in my life.

The little parkour off a high jump... how cute.

My favorite vehicle is by far the bmx bike, and the absence of that already disappointed me.

I hate how the game is practically always dark. It seems like daylight lasts for 6 minutes, and the rest of the time it's dark.

I did like the easier method of evading police, the autosave, and a few other things' but overall.... unimpressed. Sure the game is more detailed, but IMO a better detailed San Andreas would have been much better in it's time then this.

I just cannot get into this game. I must be the only one who doesn't like it.

Yesterday I played Mariokart, and I have to say, I am tempted to go buy a Wii instead of a 360. Maybe it is the kid in me, but I like to occasionally break away from the prostitution, homicide, and vulgar language of todays oversaturated video game market.

Don't get me wrong, those games at times are fun, but I can see they are making kids plain weird. I really do think the mature title should be more enforced. I see preteens running around smack talking, cursing eachother out, and acting these games out.

Not trying to sound overconservative but this is my rant.

I definitely agree about the enforcement thing. If a parent wants to go into a store and buy an M rated game for their kid, thats fine. But if the kid does it alone who's to know if the parent would approve - so many don't know what their kids play.
