Kudos for posting this review - as I'm not one of the (many) people that have downloaded it, this helps. As for the ones that have - what the hell, let's just have your opinion and impressions, come on, nobody gives a crap what you do on the internets!

I honestly thought I could resist the draw of this game, but all the reviews and videos that have popped up today have completely and utterly sold me. So I went from "Meh, maybe, maybe not" to "MUST. HAVE. NOW!" in the space of a few hours.

I've been a bit suspicious over IGN reviews since they whole fiasco over advertisers adjusting reviews, but if they are willing to give it a 10/10 and not a 9.5 or 9.75 then it's probably pretty good.

No wonder EA attempted a hostile take over mere weeks before the release.

Well, this is an exclusive interview and the publisher is advertising this game heavily. Really, 10/10? I think not.

I like how the reviewer makes a case that 60 bucks makes it a bargain. -And that he would even pay 300 bucks for it. Sounds to me like a little jab at those who have not been able to get a 360 or PS3 yet. I have, but I don't think I'm interested in the plot. Oh wait, the reviewer forgot to mention the plot.

The Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/28/arts/28auto.html ) liked it too. I don't have a PS3 or a 360, so I'm either gonna have to pick one up or wait 'til it gets released for PC.

I don't usually trust IGN reviews, but this one may be accurate

Multiplayer looks awesome, but I don't haev a console.

No game EVER deserves a 10/10 ever. There is no perfect game. Except maybe Half-Life 2.

K0MMIE: A game score is not supposed to be seen as ever right. A game score tells you how good the game is when the review is made. The score falls slowly over time, when game development well evolves. Some things (gameplay) have a longer half-life than others (graphics), which is why some games last a very long time (Starcraft) and others last a very short time (Doom 3).

I'm looking forward to this game coming to PC, because consoles are only for fighting games and guitar hero.

Congratulations Rockstar, you've finally hit last-gen graphics levels. Game looks good for a 2004 effort. And 16 players online WITH a cover system? Holy crap, I've never even heard of that before! Incredible! Rockstar is the most inventive developer EVER!

And to those waiting for the PC version, good choice, as the mouse/keyboard combo was an excellent control system back in 1995.

Forgot the plot?

..is this sarcasm?

I'll start with a quote "Even IF the single-player wasn't that great, the multiplayer makes it worth while."

"The single player has an incredible amount of depth."

And then from IGN itself, the written review


"Don't worry, GTA's famed over-the-top action and tongue-in-cheek humor are intact, but there is a new level of sophistication in the characters and the game world that raises the story above the norm."

and finally,
"10 Presentation
The story is Oscar quality. The use of the phone as a gaming portal is genius. There's really nothing more that could be asked for from GTA IV."


And then, this, because the concept just sounds awesome,

"And then there is Cops n' Crooks, the best of the objective-based multiplayer games. This has two teams, one side lawmen, the other hoodlums. The crooks are trying to get to a randomly selected extraction point and the cops are trying to arrest them with bullets. This mode forces teamwork, as both teams must strategize on the fly and rely on one another to assist in navigation. I"

Also, for the 360 owners, these are the Achievements. They're not set in stone, but those are basically the final draft.

"Warm Coffee" for the freaking win.

First game to earn a 10 out of 10 since Ocarina of Time.

Just to pick some nits, they gave Soul Calibur 10/10 a year after Ocarina, even if you don't count the several handheld games that also got a perfect score.

I'm glad they brought the GTA2 style multiplayer back, but now within the vast, living, breathing world of the singleplayer. Looks like a blast.

Not surprised to see this shooting up the top 15. Should've officially called it when it rolled out of the queue.

@Animals - heck, GTA1 had multiplayer too - this'll be great.

I remember fleeing my friend's police car in a VW bug... oh, the chaos. Oh the humanity.

Warm coffee FTW indeed, that's hilariously awesome.


I LOVE that (below) phraseology.

10/10 and the best game in the last decade? Better than Deus Ex, or System Shock 2, or Half-Life? I seriously doubt it, but I'll still throw money at it... when the PC version comes out.

Check out the Gametrailers video, you can download a high resolution video that runs about 11 minutes. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33327.html

I can't wait till it gets released for the PC. I don't see myself buying a console for one game. I don't even know anyone that owns a console.

That was Gamespot, although you can't trust any reviews now after that disaster.

Ugh. Half-Life 2 is so overrated. Almost as badly as Halo.
