i bet rockstar paid those reviewers very good. cuz a game that scored 10/10 doesn't make me feel for replaying after I cleared it once.
To be honest, stored my copy of GTA4 in the collection rack after i cleared the game and I hardly touched it again. well, a few rounds of MP and i'm tired with it.

it's totally over-rated. It has to be at least, like San Andreas' volume (minigames, map variety, shop variety, buying cribs...) in order to gain 10/10. If only they made this game PS3 exclusive, they could have expand the game better with Blu Ray.

i bought GTA 4 on the very 1st day..and yet im still at 8% of the game..really don't have the mood to play it.. im down with the overhype..

hope it wont crash my system when i decide to play it again

I'm sorry to say that I too think that GTA4 is a slight let down. I really can't feel for Nico the way I felt for the San Andreas protagonist. San Andreas is definitely way better because I actually felt ownership of the gangs and the story of betrayal hit harder. Or maybe I'm just egoistical because I could sculpt the look of my hero anyway I like... major muscles, tattoos, hair cuts, blink blink...

Man... GTA4 is just repetition gameplay and the MP is whatever la. Still, I'm going to hold on to it just the same cause its GTA man...

Someone mentioned ace combat being a let down... ace combat for ps3 got meh? I love that series jeez.

thanks for the heads up guys. i dont think im going to buy gta4. .probably will rent it if i have the time to play. but mayve it is not worth kept.

i just played GTA3 and its clones -san andre, vc, and vc stories... turned them off after a couple of missions too.. sucks.

Just called him, he suspects its the LAN port and it was the lightning that struck it so he recommends that everyone use WIFI.

I don't think it was that problem -- i think it was GTA IV because I had NO problem running other things before and it would only crash like this while playing GTA IV.

now my ps3 is gone and it will not turn on. It goes RED -> YELLOW then back to -> red light.

He suggests I take it back to singapore to fix. anyone have any idea how this process goes? ninja? anyone have any clue? i am in dire need...argh.
