GTA 4 SE: Review (yes, more GTA post)
 by Kryptinite on 05.02.2008      19 comments





It finally arrived to my place on Thursday

Being the obsessive special edition whore that I am, I had to do a review on the Grand Theft Auto 4 Special Edition that Rockstar was awesome enough to put together.


I waited 2 days for a license plate...I know, I have issues


That's a lot of stuff

The special edition came with the following:


*a CD of select songs from the soundtrack of the game (which is awesome)
*two keys for your safety deposit box
*Rockstar keychain
*a full size license plate (if pre-ordered through Amazon.com)


*a copy of the game (of course)
*A very detailed concept art book for Grand Theft Auto
*this awesome safety deposit box that can be broken into with a fingernail


*this sweet ass duffel bag

Overall I think Rockstar did a excellent job with everything that came with the special edition, besides the cheap ass lock on the safety deposit box. The CD is awesome and the first track, (Soviet Connection:The theme of Grand theft Auto 4) is good stuff. I'm happy with my purchase and hope in the future that all other companies step their game up when it comes to making special editions for their games. The days of only doing metal cases and bonus DVDs are over.

keep an eye out for my GTA 4 video review, coming soon :)

I was so fucking giddy when I picked up my copy of this. That lockbox is teh awesome, even if it is a little flimsy. And that duffel bag is high speed, private.

Word of advice - Kryptinite cannot drive. Do not get in the car with him.

Epic fun last night man.

Shouldnt the licence plate be GTA IV, not 1V?

I love special editions for games, so I've had a bunch of them. This one is by far my favorite. Maybe its because I'm a GTA fanboy, but this special edition is fucking sweet. The CD is kickass, so is the artbook. I love the duffel bag, even though it is a little small. And the lock box is just fucking awesome. I'm definitely going to be using the lock box. When I picked up my copy on Monday night, I thought all the stuff came in the duffel bag, so when I was just handed a box I was so confused haha.

The select music CD isn't bad, but not great either. It is a mix of different music, though, which is good.
Kryptinite's Destructoid Blog
i REALLY enjoy the select music CD. I don't know why but I do :).
Holyetheline's Destructoid Blog
I loooooove the No Sex For Ben song by Rapture on that CD. I think it's number 3.
BigPopaGamer's Destructoid Blog
Now see that's worth the extra money you pay for a Special Edition.
JamnOnTheOne's Destructoid Blog
I think it's awful that whoever came up with the license plate idea decided to make it:

GTA 1V: which reads "Grand Theft Auto One V" instead of "Grand Theft Auto 4"

@jamnontheone

LOL..that's really bothering you and Soulhammer.

It bothers me too but meh..I'll get over it.
