GTA IV IGN review: 10/10
"Past GTA titles have had mild-to-serious framerate issues and technical glitches, because the games were trying to do far more than the PlayStation 2 could handle. While GTA IV is pushing the PS3 and 360 to the limit, it also runs amazingly well. Sure, there are framerate hitches here and there and (particularly on 360) there is some texture pop-in, but it actually runs better than I expected. That a game with great AI, an awesome physics engine and a detailed open world runs so well and with such short load times is a technical marvel. "--IGN GTA4 Review
"For those wanting to know which version looks better, the edge goes to the PS3. The textures and framerate are comparable, but the PS3 has far less pop-in. The 360 has richer colors, but the PS3 has better anti-aliasing making it look a little cleaner. Because GTA IV can preload onto the PS3 hard drive, the in-game loads are faster. Don't worry Xbox owners, the load times are rarely more than 30 seconds and don't occur very often. The slight visual edge goes to PS3, but the 360 is no slouch. Either version will do you proud."--IGN GTA4 Review

I put my birthdate in as 18 (which i am) and it came up sorry not to view, ah well.. sucky Americans.
I preordered this from Game in July 07 and I went in today to make sure I had a copy and they were like "Hmm it doesnt appear so" Major suckage on top of the website...
They said come in on Tuesday and you should be able to get one no problem... (fingers crossed)
Posted by Cycovision
The pre-ordering thing is a load of crap at many places. My local Gamestation confessed to me that they have taken pre-orders but they have no idea how many copies they will actual get in on Monday. So they're still going to give them out on a first come first served basis at midnight, regardless of whether you've pre-ordered or not.

Meh, I've got a 24hr Tesco less than 3 mins driving on empty roads. I WOULD pick it up then, but as I'm lacking 360'age my dad says to wait until it comes back from repair.
Posted by Vein
Yeah I have a 24 hour Tesco and a Gamestation too but Game isnt opening at midnight on Monday but theyre doing 7am Tuesday so Im rushing in for then...
Posted by KingBooker5
Orderd mine on amazon, can't wait, especialy after IGN's review.
Bit random but I have to say it, its amazing how many kids actualy play GTA
Posted by Ridahz
Makes me wish i still had my 360

But lack of funds and bein insured on my car dont help lol

Posted by Muhammad-Oli
I could have had a copy 2 hours ago at the midnight launch here, but I don't have my PS3 yet! Grrrr. I'm still saving up for it lol. I just bought an LCD TV and should be playing this game in 3 weeks time!

Posted by jagger2k
got my copy from asda, it was like a mad house there. I strolled in at 11, there was a small que, 5 minutes later at least 100 people came in. They gave up tickets and we went away, then came back at 12.
Posted by deepsme
Now Gamespot gives this a 10/10..
Review
WTH is this game?
Posted by procterdc
Haha, all is not lost...I found £20 sat in my paypal account and i'm gonna trade in 4 games. Gonna get it 2moro i think. Payday too lol.
Posted by Cycovision
Blimey, GTA 4 certainly does live up to the hype!
Is it just me or are the cars a bit harder to control than in the previous GTAs?
Posted by Danny_BFC
Ommggg What a week to get grounded on
Posted by Davo_169
im going to wait until the ps3 is like 300 dollars because to be honest GTA4 would be the only reason for me to buy one
Posted by Caspa
Mines just arrived!
Now I gottta wait till home time! Its gonna be a good bank holiday weekend, and i couldnt care less if it rains!
Posted by p900 lover
Cant wait to play this later on. Why does it have to come out when i have exams and uni work to do?

Posted by Caspa
And the match is on tonight?!
Gonna have to get home early as (leaving in 1 hour from now) and play until the match, then jump right back on after the footie!
Posted by Cycovision
Yup, I'm really impressed with GTA 4. It's the funniest and most "adult" one yet! Absolutely brilliant!
Posted by Dicky Snapples
yeah, its absolutely fantastic!
so detailed,huge map, and as cyco says, funniest and most adult to date.
Posted by arien617

Lucky you, mine hasn't had work started on it yet, and GTA4 is sat here waiting to be played.
Posted by Davo_169
just watched a couple of youtube reviews and my god it looks awesome.
Posted by KingBooker5
Fan damn tastic! I got it yesterday morning. Amazing how much Rockstar was able to put in. The map is giant, and Niko is great. As usual the radio stations stay damn hilarious. Great to know that Lazlow has a station in the game.
Posted by procterdc
Woop woop, ordered mine from Blockbuster, so i'll get it fri after work. I wonder if its a coincidence that it was released the week before a bank holiday???
Posted by sepehr_sz

Hahaha, thats quite the opposite of what everyone else has said. And I was told that the whole city was completely open so you could go anywhere from the beginning. Is that not true?
Posted by Danny_BFC
Getting my xbox flashed tonight with GTA4
Posted by KingBooker5
Not anywhere, you have to do the missions until you can go to the 2nd island

Ah alright, thanks. And then everywhere is free to explore?
Posted by KingBooker5
Yup it is GTA after all
You guys won't mind but one big thing about the map that annoys me is that from what I have seen and read, there is no free space. Rockstar seemed to make this sound like a good thing by calling in it "wasted space."
One of my favourite parts of San Andreas was cruising down the country side, with dessert surronding you, with the sound of K rose through the radio, great fun to get away from the story and just enjoy a drive in the game, however there is none of that in Librety city. Although the city is amazing, as with the detail, sometimes you just wan't to have the freedom to escape and drive down to the quiet country side instead of being stuck in the city. The game seems to be all about the city, city, city. In San Andreas I loved driving round the quiet towns and going through the desserts. I know the games are based in diffrent places but It would have been nice if they added some free space.
What about you guys?
Posted by arien617
Right, UPS say my box will be here on Tuesday so I'll try and buy the game on this Sunday
Posted by Cycovision
The story is rubbish?!?!?!? Are you on drugs or something?
lol I'm the other way round on this, I thought the storyline in San Andreas was very old, tired and full of stereotypical characters. Just your usual, bog standard American Gangsta tripe.
GTA 4 is much more tongue-in-cheek, like GTA 3 and Vice City were which is definitely a good thing in my book
Posted by voda_jon
had this a few days now and its ok.... never bin a big fan of gta games but this is defo the best of the bunch for storyline and longevity...
Shame about the below average accents and the fact that every woman in the game sounds like they have been pulled out of a friends episode lol...
Got this on the ps3 anyone had any issues yet? ma mates keeps freezin but mine hasnt yet and i av the 60gb ps3

I agree... The amount of times it has make me laugh or chuckle is fantastic... I keep on meaning to play COD4 after a few hours on GTA but it just keeps me engrossed and before I know it, its the early hours!
@All
Did you guys kill the guy that Vlad asked you to? I decided not to and am glad I did now as Vlad has been taken out of the picture due to fornicating with Malory and upsetting Roman!
Posted by KingBooker5
Away from GTA 4
It would be great if a San Andreas stories for the PSP came out, but I doubt they would be able to fit it on the UMD
