GTA IV - Same old GTA .......,  Thursday, 29 May 2008 5/5 for everything, it is damn good game game compared to all other games out for 360. There is no other game like this available that is this good. Saints Row was a good pre-GTA IV game as was Bully, and the sequel Saints Row 2 shall be one to watch out for.

Back to the game; it had so much hype about it being that good but is it really a shiny version of older GTA games. I reckon so.

The story and missions are the same, just new places and new faces. There is not enough places to go in to, not enough to explore, not enough little goodies to play with, etc. No planes, no parachutes, no car modification etc.

San Andreas had tattoo palour, gym and stats which increased throughout the game. It even had the BMX, which is missed in this game. Rockstar have tried to compensate with Taxi service, which is AWESOME, and a few other little things like cars are more real, improved handling, etc. The attention to detail is unbelievable and the graphics, lighting, water effects, car damage - WOW!

Online play is sweet, but this sort of had to be put in as it the best game ever on the Xbox 360! Top marks though. It is different and some clever ideas.

But they really should have spent more time to improve the gameplay. Single player and story really needed more work.

So its real rating, compared to what it should be: 6/10 I\'m just disappointed.
