Where do i begin my rant, Let me start with saying I have been playing GTA since london 1969 and I have been In love with rockstar Games Since they were known as The Hand Of Satan!!! Where do i start with this game.... GFWL if you know what that means you can begin to understand my frustrations with this game. I was lucky enough to never finish this game and not by choice mind you. I have attempted to complete this game several times and GFWL for some reason or another would loose my progress and i would either have to start again or say forget it and just not play (I chose the ladder) Now that may infact be only related to my personal experience with this GEM but if you have had similar issues Im speaking gospel. Liberty city feels Boring, its ugly and so over crowded it just makes for a overly frustrating experience there are really no good places (IMO other than the swingset :) to really open up and race through the street without having to stop or slow down every 15 seconds I just cant stand the design choice of a blocky street layout that feels , well .... BLOCKY I know alot of people who really like this game but i cant imagine why the story is darker than anything GTA wise rockstar has done but you cant identify with any of the story elements or protagonists (or at least I could not) and after about 35-50 minutes into a session I just feel like loading san andreas or vice city this one just leaves alot to be desired like multi-player??? where the F**K is it or should i say was it? 20 minutes of that and i was satisfied with my 5 dollar purchase (still overpriced) episodes from liberty city is way better of course in the same setting there was just more there in terms of story development, Oh and the constant calls all the time calls calls calls dammit stop Roman im busy with jacob smokin on the dro. anyway Im SALTY AS F**K when it comes to GTA4 70 hours on record and I still have yet to complete it due to restarting a dozen times (It could have been sooooo goood) but then again past is past and im spoiled by the far superior experience of GTA5 and the beast that is GTAO I hope this Jumbled mess of a review/impression of GTA4 convinces you to only get this if it comes in a bundle and not to overpay for it and not play it ... at all actually or do it's just not the same feeling agree disagree??? what are your thoughts .....

This game is a bit of alright However, I am a little confused that this was not done by REDLYNX??? But then again I only Paid $.69 for this and its decent and challenging when you get to the later levels

I found a level in this game i presume to be un-beatable, The Round time trial have any of you beat it? I think its a cheap tactic used by the developer to prolong the half decent game I would not recommend this title. If you like it great it's not for me i re-installed it today thinking why did I delete local files and now I remember...

GTA 5 or more importantly GTAO is one of the best online/GTA experiences ever, The campaign was good and brought me back to that familiar GTA story feel that GTA4 killed for me. Swapping between Michael, Franklin and Trevor is interesting and fun to see what is going on just before you jump in, Story and attempting to get 100% completion to which I managed 89.7% Kept me involved for about 101 hours according to social club, ONLINE However makes up the other half of my 450+ hour play at the time of this review. This is exactly what the franchise needed. IMO, WIthout going into too much detail as there is alot to online i will say its not perfect but makes for one hell of a good time, i often find myself spawning into lobbys where WW3 seems to be taking place, Starting off was hard just stick to missions and robbing stores and you will get there, A few quick tips for beginers.

BUY ARMORED VEHICLES!!!!
SHOOT FIRST....MAYBE?
BECOME A STICKY BOMB SURGEON.
DO NOT WASTE AMMO.
BUY ARMOR
BUY SNACKS
BUY REBREATHER (Trust me)
DONT TAKE IT TOO SERIOUSLY!!!! Its a game with guns!!! people will kill you... ALOT

As far as i have seen R* seem to update and put out dlc for technically "FREE". The vehicle prices are insane but they do suppliment with double rp and $$ weekend events but still if your not into paying more real world $$ for "SHARK CARDS" then you will be doning alot of mission grinding, Heists can be fun and annoying all together. basically expect to fail 8/10 attempts and even get the one who drops at the last part kicking everyone back to lobby, if you can manage a solid crew this isnt as much of an issue, and finally HACKING!!! yes it happens ive experienced it about 6 times and yes dropping money on people just beware record your session if possible and report any real "ill gotten gains" to R* support, For what its worth I hope this helps Ive been going solo and youtube has been a huge help there is alot GTAO has to offer for thoes willing to get their hands dirty and spend a little time in Los Santos

Overall very fun, Loads of cut scenes, however they blend well. Gameplay is very stright forward (as in it's pretty hard to get lost) There is enough challenge here to keep you on your toe's. The story in my opinion is a bit foggy but im only about 20 hours in and havent had enough time to really let it sink in. The file size is BS but over all liking it. Never had the chance to play on ps3 or 360 thought i would give it a go. Started out a bit disappointed being that I come from the early days of square RPG's but there is still enough here to keep me playing.

EDIT: Skyrim is amazing and free again rejoyce and play this game cant wait till new version to start again

We drink to our youth, for the days come and gone.
For the age of modding is just about done.
We'll drive out the paid mods and restore what we own.
With our blood and our steel we'll take back our free mods.

Down with paid mods! The killer of Modding!
On the day of modding's death we will drink and we'll riot.
We're the supporters of Moodding, and we fight all our mods.
And when modding is done, every one of us dies!
But paid mods is not ours and we'll see it wiped clean.
Of the scourge that has sullied our hopes and our dreams!

Great port plays fine looks even better if you were terrified back in 96' this will be a must buy, just cant believe how much of the puzzle solving i completely forgot, so to me it's like playing again for the first time :)

All I am going to say is a game's difficulty should not be dictated by god awful controls, find out for yourself
(2 out of 5 stars)

This Game Is F*****g Bullocks!!!!!

Ok, so what I have managed to play seems cool enough and actually not that bad but, the problem this game has is functionality, I am a victim of the dreaded black screen!! I have tried every fix out there and although for some they worked well enough I was still never quite able to get it play more than once. just out of curiosity today i decided to load the game and see if anything has been fixed? THE GAME WORKS!!!! But if at first something seems to good to be true it probably is, I was able to play 1 almost 2 complete races and then black screen "grid 2 executable has stopped working" Well F**K it, if you want to throw your money away as I have then, I cant stop you!!!

At first I was like great a Terraria clone, But after playing a mere 6 hours...........NOPE MUCH MUCH BETTER!!!!!!
