I couldn't agree more.
I can't help but wonder if commenting on a ZP episode is a deadly sin in some twisted, obscure version of reality, and now I'm actually afraid to add my own comment.
Anyway, awesome review. As every single one of its predecessors, it repeatedly sent me both laughing and - more frequently - scuttling off to the dictionary, and mind you, I regard that as a good thing.
The people who are banned have clearly not watched the video yet and are posting for the glory of being first.

I hear some people complain that the missions get to repetitive, but hasnt that always been the case with GTA games, oh well loved the review and definitely the game. Although its rather odd having every other mission be a "chase this guy and then kill him" mission.

If you look in the police database, they list Niko and Roman's nationality as "unknown".

On the tree topic, I remember the game Mercenaries had the same phenomenon. Is there some sort of obscure law that requires invincible trees, like the whole "violence and pandas" thing I heard about once?

Oh yeah there all within 2 minutes. That explains it. I thought the admins had just found the old ban shotgun, and had some fun taking shots at passers by. Bravo, very astute mods/admins etc.

I have to ask you, were you really expecting a Mario Kart review after the SSBB one?
I was sure the SSBB review had pretty much erased every little speck of doubt in our minds that Yahtzee hates the main Nintendo franchise with a passion.

I can't stop laughing with the review.

And my laptop decided to explode twice during the video!

Great review by Yahtzee. I couldn't agree more with most of the points made by the man himself and my fellow forumites (sp?). My overall impression of the game was that while the environment showed fantastic polish, the combat did not. The cover system can be infuriating and has cost me a mission several times, e.g. where I get stuck on the wrong piece of cover with my back to the enemy. I certainly agree with the sentiment that it is not the evolution in gaming most review sites made it out to be. While the environment has been polished enough to use the full capabilities of the next generation consoles, it is essentially the same game of old.

Yes GTA 4 is good and all (even though I do not have the systems to play it on and probably never will), but why are you not reviewing Mario Kart. It seems like an insult when you do not review the favor of the month games. Please review it.

In terms of pure fun, I found III to be the best, not Vice City or San Andreas, and probably not IV which incidentally, I will have to admit not playing yet. My reason for chosing the original Liberty City over all other candidates was the raw simplicity of it all. In was rough round the edges, ridiculous, totally unbelievable, and above all, very simple to understand. You did jobs, you played around, you did another job, you played around some more. You went around seeing just how much carnage you could wreak before the long arm of the law finally brought you down.
Getting onto six stars, then nicking a tank, then driving it through a star-down bonus tag - the world was my oyster. I mean, having FBI cars driving full pelt into and blowing up, again, and again, and again. Priceless.
Vice City and San Andreas just complicated matters. Most likely this will the the same, only more so. Okay, if I do get round to playing it and loving every bloodthirsty minute of it, then I will just have to offer my apologies won't I.

Shame on you Yahtzee, trying to ignite fanboy fights. Still, a hilarious review and dead on the money more than any other I have seen or read.

What is it with six-axis controls, my friend with a PS3 told me how even though you can get used to it pretty fast in GTA4, its just easier to use the regular controls.

Mario Kart.... favour of the month?? As far as I know, GTA4 is the favour of the month, especially when just about everywhere got sold out in the first couple of days.

Brilliant review. I've got to show my roommate this, he's a GTA fanboy.

Never ever ever going to review mario kart wii, WOOHOO!
I think that was my favorite part of his SSBB review, when he said something about "Mario Kart Eleventy Billion the Next Generation." Sad to say, I've played it...just once and it was in a friend's dorm room, but it's basically just the same recycled tripe we've come to expect from Nintendo recently.

What's it matter? They can just make a new account.
