Read The Review Here
______________________

The Grand Theft Auto series has been the jewel in Rockstars crown for a long time and the latest incarnation has been surrounded with unparalleled speculation for well over a year now. Surely no game to live up to this hype? Well once again it seems that Rockstar have proved us wrong, everything they touch truly does turn to gold because Grand Theft Auto 4 is quite possibly the best game I have ever played, period.

Aside from the cars, how are the physics in Liberty City? When you shoot people do they react like they've been wounded or just keep on coming? Most of the gameplay I've seen didn't seem to showcase the Euphoria engine like we've come to expect from those Force Unleashed demos.

Depends where you shoot them, if you hit them in the head they normally go down first shot. If you shot them in the arm they tend to fall over holding it and get back up. Same with the legs. Shooting someone in the leg who is running away is a great tactic to either stop or slow them down without killing them quickly.

I would say it is actually pretty realistic.

All the previous GTA's were 1 year delay until they hit PC's, it's not even exclusive to the one console like they were so there's no reason not to bring it to PC.

I held out a year for GoW on PC as well as Vice City and San Andreas...I think I can do it for IV but only cause it'll look so much better on a high end video card.

I wonder if there are side missions as in Saints' Row.
Also, glad to see they have followed that game in the way to handle map and directions.
I will get the game eventualy, it's too sweet not to.
