been playing this game since release and i have finished the story line missions (not 100% of all missions though) and all i have to say is this game is freakin awesome, top quality all round.
it may not convert many people who have never enjoyed the GTA series and may not be perfect but its damn close

'

PS3 version by any chance?

Still playing Oblivion

, will get to GTA IV when it comes to the pc as always has been my tradition...building up the tension all right.

I hope it's better than San Andreas, san andreas had an orange look to it I didn't like; I've heard the playstation version has less orange in it than the xbox one but the xbox one is a bit better than the ps3 one, anyone know if this is true??? My all time fav is still Vice city we'll see if gta iv is gonna change that lol.

Just got vaccinated and my arm is aching!, the spell check thing is cool, nice one DH team.

I have the PS3 version my m8 had the 360 and after seeing them both i cannot say that there are any "my god that looks so much better on yours than mine" moments they look about the same

Nice game so far. I started playing a few days ago (XBox 360). I just had to go buy it, and I'm really liking it so far.

Got another 360. I believe this is #3 : (.

I really should stop selling it. At least this time its an Elite, quiet, and been tested. Only like 200 in perfect condition.

So GTA is worth it? Does it drag on like San Andreas? Cause I remember how awesome everyone said it was and it blew hardcore. Really crappy and repetitive.

Mr cairo · May 10, 2008, 03:31 AM

If you dont Like San Andrea i doubt you will like this on e... sorry m8

i say give it a go, GTA SA dragged on a little for myself also but GTA IV felt spot on.

Its also one of the best games ever

i liked the whole OG thing in San Andreas. Loved the throwbak to the 90s west coast gangsta stuff. the voice acting in this game in GTA4 is the best (yes, it tops MGS) I have ever heard in a game, especially Little Jacob. In terms of being a 10/10 game, hell no. Websites are giving it too much. Theres still too many buildings that are locked for entry, not enough side jobs (such as lets say robberies or building up your character which San Andreas had). I think the 360 held back this game a lot, why? DVD, thats why! It could be so much more if it was a PS3 exclusive IMO. But its good to see more people play the game. Online play on the PSN is decent, I just wish it had some in game xmb type features. But its liveable.

All in all, its a more realistic and polished GTA experience in the present day with more believable graphics and gameplay.

Meh, 360 will have exlusive episodic content so I would say that is the better buy.

Decided to stick with PC. Console gaming is too much money and not enough quality. Hopefully it comes out for PC with mod tools.

For now. They way they (Microsoft) put it you'd think that DLC was theirs, and theirs alone, but exclusivity at this point only means that the DLC Rockstar produces for the 360 version stays there, but that doesn't mean they can't do exclusive DLC for the PS3 version.

Anyways, right now my biggest pet peeve is all the comparative 360 vs PS3 debates I've been reading, and I have to say that these guys defending "their" version, going out of their way to say "their" version is better.. what bullshiters. I've tried both, and they are almost identical to each other in every respect. Yes, each version has something the other doesn't, where something is a little bit better than the other version, and vice versa, but neither is superior.

For instance, I don't like the SixAxis control on the PS3. I don't like the slight popup on the 360 version, but I love doing the achievements on the 360 version. I really don't like that the PS3 version upscales from 640p, in software versus the 360s hardware scaling, as it does effect the look of the game (slightly blurry at times), however, doing that software upscaling along with the filtering effects they've applied makes the game look more movie like whereas on the 360 version it's a bit too sharp sometimes. As someone once put it, it's more 'warmer looking' on the PS3 version.

Like I said, it's back and fourth, and trying to defend "your" version is just stupid. It's the same f'ing game, people.

SFOSOK · May 11, 2008, 11:54 PM

I don't have a version : (
