I agree about the cars, but not about san andreas being better. I got bored of san andreas after a few hours, didnt even get past the first island, whereas Ive played around 30 hours of GTA 4 already. Its a much better game than SA. There just seems to be much more to do in GTA4 and so much detail has been put into it.
surely you cant compare the two when youve done naff all in san andreas?
Its easy to compare them, GTA4 grabbed my attention right from the off and is still holding my attention after 40 hours, whereas SA held my attention for probably about 5-10 before I got bored with having to keep my guy in shape and stop him from being hungry, and all that other crap that put me off the game. Just because I didnt play SA as long doesnt mean I cant comment on it.
I have to agree, Im probably about 20% into the game and Im really enjoying it, the characters are interesting, Niko is a great character despite his layed back appearance. The story is enticiing. It does draw you in.
The driving is so much better, I think the little addidtions have made such a difference, the mobile phone, being able to hail taxis. Rag doll physics, I think my shortest mission involved being crushed between 2 cars lol. Theyve taken away some of the pointless crap that became mandatory as Mallray mentions, i.e food and exercise, it might as well been the sims. Combat is so much less frustrating and much more enjoyable, blind firing a 12 guage in close quarters has never been so much fun.
Granted I cant give a final verdict yet but the way Its going I cant see this game dissapointing.
