Zero Punctuation: Grand Theft Auto IV

[VaughanyT]

Damn. I was really hoping you wouldn't mention the rubbish PS3 controls because they are incredibly stupid. Why did they even go for a Sixaxis when the only game it really works on is Warhawk?

Nothing wrong with PS3, or handbrake turns ! they are hard to begin with, but after a while no problem ! can lose cops after slaughtering about 50 then running !

 

[ForzaFerrari]

PS I never use sixaxis

Yahtzee what about multiplayer ! what a blast ! easy to pick up and loads of fun.

LOADS of variety too !!

Yeah, GTA VI was a bit obnoxious with the realistic driving and the saplings of invulnerability, but the wierdest part for me was, on the first date mission, I ran over about 3 people, destroyed the chicks front bumper, and lost her car's hood, and she didn't give a damn!

Although I dig GTA4, it does have allot to make fun of: missing stuff likely to show up as DLC, lack of rewards, many interiors of random places while places you hang out have none...

Yahtzee complains about things sometimes I couldn't imagine anyone caring about which is fine when it's funny and there isn't anything else to complain about.

This video is brilliant.

This game is ok. i only like doing some stuff like killing people, killing cops, driving and killing,etc. The missions to me are boring as shit.

 

[Furious George]

i was very bored by the first missions, so i did what he did and went crazy, stole cars, and kill a shit load of people. but i hated that tree thing. how could a hummer driving 120 not knock a tree down???

Is it just me or does it take years for the videos to load!!!

Sorry for necro but this guy just doesn't get the idea of a sandbox game.

You really should put these on iTunes, in a podcast form or something--this is genius stuff.

The cops in this game must be cops from Elmhurst, IL... from what I've heard.

Loved the review.
The game's crashed on me a few times. Don't know if it's my not having the 360 connected to the internet up to pick up patches, or the 'Ring Of Death' coming back, or if I've finally worn out the DVD drive. Probably just my two year 'old' console wearing out on me from mostly collecting dust between game releases of any consequence.

It's crashed a few times for me too, but only because I have a used copy and I was playing a lot. Oddly both times it crashed I was driving in an ice-cream truck :/

And the best way to get an epic cop chase is to try and drive to one of the island you're not supposed to get to yet, which gives you an instant six-star rating. There's also a fake CP site that gives you the same thing if you access it.
