Default Re: GTA IV: It's Magically Delicious

Well after a day playing this game, I can definitely say they have upped the ante when it comes to story and mission play. That was always my main problem with the series. The story was seemingly unimportant and the missions were redundant and didn;t feel important... just ways to get cash.

GTA IV have done a great job of improving greatly on these faults, and polishing up what has alkways worked for them. The combat is MUCH better too, but still lags behind most other 3rd person games.

The city is AMAZING to witness, and feels alive and CROWDED, which it should.

So far: 8.5 out of 10 but rising as I play. My only complaint is that it hasn't seemed to create anything too innovative in the gameplay or themes beyond those of the previous GTA games. Other than that, they are simply perfecting their specific niche of gaming.
