With my recent purchase and new found love for the PlayStation 3 "Slim," I've returned most of my Xbox 360 games and repurchased them (most of which are used of course) for my nice new console. GTA IV happens to be one of them. Before you Xbox fanboys prod me with your butter knife and clothing iron, take a moment and exhale as you check out Storm's latest adventure with the Rockstar's classic title. Yes, you will discover urine stains, plenty of pie with vulgar sweet creamy goodness and something about awful driving mechanics with touch of large American breasts.
Inhale now. Ok now, where was I? Oh yes! (tosses up gang signs) Sony! Wut!?

AND I LOVE MY PS3!
AND I LOVE SONY!
I'm totally there on the cars thing... Rockstar should have taken some Burnout cars for a drive before making this game. The controls were awful! I also had no interest in dating girls or going to strip clubs so I stuck to the main plot... but found it pretty repetitious after awhile. I gave up on the game. Just not my thing.
After complaining loudly to a friend of mine, who blocked me several times across a number of different IM's and social networks, he finally decided to point out that, unlike other GTA's where all the cars worked on a very basic structural formula, and were easy to get in and traipse around in, whereas GTAIV adds a much larger element of physics into it's vehicle mechanics. I realized I was just jumping in a car and jamming the accelerator down and wondering why I span out. Taking a minute to consider driving a car in GTAIV a little more like driving one in a racing-sim of sorts, and suddenly things make a little more sense.
These days I am ADEQUATE at driving. Because I'm not particularly good at anything. So for me to have reached this level of astounding adequacy is...well...astounding.
Just a thought anyways.
Did you like how I managed to make one small point last several hundred words worth of rambling. Did you?? DID YOU?? Yeah you did.
Oh and I really liked the driving, it felt solid and far less floaty. But hey that's just me, I like Sim style driving rather than the more arcade style driving which I do think suited the old GTA's very well.
That game gets too much hate.
...do one on that!
Also, yay Storm.
I <3 Storm
I love these Adventures, also car mechanics are ridiculousness.
Storm's awesome. Why isn't he noted under the contributors?
fucking terrible speaking on my end. apologies!
this is probably my favourite review. I almost fell out of my chair with the pie part for some reason.
I was going to say "Oh this is awesome, Banjo Kazooie music" I guess I was close enough... same composer, right?
