That was the most uninformative video review I' ve ever seen. The written review was far too long for me to want to read it (7 pages... really?). Sounds like the console differences are more of the same, 360 version having better colors while the PS3 has slightly faster loads times, less texture pop ins and a little better frame rate due to the install. If that' s all there is different that' s damn impressive. I' m still not a fan of the whole having to install the game but whatever, I' m getting the 360 version anyway. I' m really looking forward to Tuesday now...

Holy f.uck!!!!!

Need confirmation that my copy will be here on time!!! I agree with Rampage that the review was not at all informative, but just being able to finally see some extended gameplay footage was awesome. Hearing that the MP is good makes this GOTY.
Most wanted games:

Mass Effect
Assasins Creed
Crysis
Little Big Planet
Drakes Fortune
UTIII
Kane and Lynch
Heavy Rain
Alan Wake

You were pretty dumb for choosing GTA4 as your free game. What if it comes a week late, you fucked yourself!

Anyone know how good the level of detail is and if later on when you get that music player if you can play music while walking?
GTA was allways lacking in the level of detail in the levels and it sucked that there was no music.

download the video review, you can see the level of detail! ofcourse it isnt as detailed as gears of war, but its massive in scale instead!

The game looks great, but the models are a bit blocky, i guess thats to be expected from the massive scale of things.

You should see Crysis :)

GTA4 is great, a real benchmark in realworldesque (i know, its a made up word) gaming.

That review was aboslutely useless but he did get to the point in saying it' s the best game he' s played in 10 years.. It certainly is one of the best games ive played in ten years so he made a valid statement..

Im playing through shenmue II at the same time and while it feels lacking in alot of areas after playing GTA4, it has more apeal to me.. Maybe it' s the SEGA fanboy coming out of me or maybe its the passion oozing throughout Shenmue.

Why the fuck am i comparing this to shenmue.. Rum is not good for me..
Currently playing:
Korg DS 10 (ds) /  Metal Slug 7 (ds)
Rhythm Heaven (ds) /  Fire Emblem (ds)
Super Stardust HD (psn) /  Virtua Fighter 5 (360)
FSX (P
