Grand Theft Auto IV

I'm a 36 year old man. I play video games occasionally. I'm mostly into sports games, but sometimes i'll get the urge to play an action game. The only other action games I've played are the Drake series and Infamous. It's difficult for a video game to keep me entertained. Eventually i'll see repetition and I get a little bored, leaving the game for weeks at a time. I gotta say, I wanted to play GTA 4 almost everyday. There are dozens of missions, all with their unique dialogue, unique scenery, unique characters. This game felt A LOT like a real movie. In fact, I'm surprised there is no GTA: The Movie. There is so much to do in this game and you can do it at your own pace. When i didn't feel like shooting people down and just wanted to take a break, I'd take a taxi(or steal a car) and go to the comedy club or cabaret show. These are actual shows. The comedians do about 5 minute sets and it's pretty funny stuff. You can go many times(i think 6) and never get a repeat performance. The game is long, and along the way you make some friends, or acquaintances. If they end up liking you enough(by hanging out with them at strip clubs, bowling, shooting darts, comedy clubs, etc), they'll do you favors. One guy will sell you weapons for cheap, another guy will detonate an explosive for you on one of your missions, another guy will send a couple of his buddies to help you kill an enemy. That was just one small detail that I thought was brilliant. You can go on the in-game internet and find women to date. You can buy ringtones on the in-game internet. The list of things to do is endless. If you're not into wasting time and want to go right through the missions, you can do that too. There are about 15 different weapons to choose from and you can get them anytime. If you don't have the money to buy them, you can find a map online and search for the hidden weapons. The coolest weapon, a rocket launcher, is found on a tiny island out at sea. You actually have to swim to get there. A lot of the negative reviews say "if you don't complete a mission all the way through, the game makes you start all over, frequently having to drive 10 minutes just to get to the mission!" This is only true if you drive to the mission yourself. Instead, get a taxi! When you get in the taxi, the driver will ask where you want to go. Choose where you want to go from the list, and just click x as soon as he starts driving and it'll skip right to the start of the mission. Sometimes reading the manual goes a long way. The acting is incredible. The different environments are incredible. Graphics are really good. Not super duper excellent or anything, but close enough. According to the stats, i've been playing this game for 58 hours. If i wanted to, i could still shoot birds around the city(there are 200 you can kill), find side missions(there are random guys on the street who ask you to do favors for them), date some women and have sex with them(you don't actually see niko getting laid, but you hear his woman having an orgasm--of course she could be faking it), hang out with your friends(strip club, bowling, grab a bite to eat, etc), or just go around the humungous city killing people and running away from the cops. A definite masterpiece. I cannot WAIT for GTA 5.

I've played all the Grand Theft Auto games from GTA 2 on Playstation 1 up to now and I just don't get why people dislike this game. You can choose clothes but not absurdly so like San Andreas, you don't have to worry about stupid stuff like collectables or going to the gym or getting fat from eating too much fast food - which I always thought was just too much in San Andreas. There is a large amount of useful and cool weapons, only a couple I thought were just a waste of time. You can drive all sorts of cars and bikes, boats and choppers weren't as easy to come across in this game but still in existence. You can still have several safehouse and a girlfriend of course. Rockstar basically cut the fat from the steak and left all the meat in my opinion as far as variety and choices. The missions are fun, vast, and full of variety. Some are a bit over the top challenging or just plain stupid but that was only 4 or 5 missions out of around 90. The controls aren't all that clunky like most say, the only problem I had was getting in and out of boats and controlling choppers. The graphics are great just like you'd expect, maybe not as good of Gears of War 2 or Assassin's Creed 2, but otherwise better than average. The story and characters aren't going to rock your socks but it will suffice. After all, who really plays GTA for the cut scenes? Most of what I liked about this game is that you can take a taxi and practically warp to most every location in the game for just a few bucks, the only locations you are restricted access from is if the bridges are blocked, but they all will be eventually cleared as you progress through the game and you will be able to take a cab there as well. It saves a lot of time and effort driving from one side of town to the next just to die in the first few minutes of the mission. Some said this made the game unchallenging or cheap but I don't know what they're talking about. Buyng a taxi for a few bucks versus driving around for five minutes - really? Also, if you fail a mission you get a text on your cell phone that gives you the option to try it again. If you select yes you will instantly warp to the beginning of the mission. A lot less hassle in my opinion. There are a few negatives to this game. There are no gang wars unless you buy Episodes and the multiplayer isn't anyting near the level of Modern Warfare 2 or Halo 3. However, I still believe GTA IV is way better than its respectable spin-offs like Saint's Row 2 and The Godfather 2. In the end, everyone that says this game is the worst of the GTA series or is a step down from San Andreas needs to stop playing Xbox 360 and go back to Playstation 1 where you played the entire game from a hawk's point of view and your character looked like a freakin PEZ.

I disliked my order because I received an American copy of the game, rendering it useless to me.

Exelententes condiciones

worth every penny you spend, the game comes with everything, it was sealed, came with a map, papers, and a free Xbox live gold trial. the disc had zero scratches. the only downside is that the map did have a bit of rips but that doesn't really matter. Gameplay of the game was good, did get just a bit laggy so I downloaded the game and there was no lag. the graphics where good for a decade old game and the soundtrack was amazing.

Perfekt , vielen Dank !!!! .. .. ..... .. .. .. .. .. . .... . .... . ... ..
