Music In GTA4 You have heard

- Kanye West 0 Flashing Lights of course is the big one
- Queen - Forgot the song
- REM
- David Bowie
- Super Nature (forgot by who, old song)
- In the movie the silence of the Lambs when the guy id dancing putting his makeup on (the nutter) the music that is in the background is on
-Thin Lizzy I have heard
- Bob Marley
- The Who
- Busta Rhymes I think
- Defo R.kelly, cant miss that
- Was supprised to here Elton John
- ZZ top was well
Not sure on the other R&B stuff etc but these are songs I have heard so far

Can not believe there is so much packed even on the 360 game disc and even well known people and songs and the rights to get to use them.


Extras:
I have not played the whole game but the fair and the mini golf and the big rides are all not useable so if they are not open later in the game (avoided reading about such things and enjoying the game so sorry if they are there) I can see as well as being new missions I can see such mini games being opened up in the exclusive content.

Oh - one feature I really really really miss is considering how good it looks and all the things you can do in the game and multiplayer they did not add a video record or image capture feature. They should have done this as you could have so many cool videos and images going on.

anyone want to form an online group to do car jack city, cops and robbers games?
Set a regular meet and play time?

Quote from: TheMallratI 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.

Completed story over the weekend, done with the game for now, I dont want 100% completion as its utterly choca-block with annoying repetetive missions!

When my bros done using my ps3 Ill get that back off him and go online :)

Multiplayer will still keep you hooked long after youve done the story. I couldnt stop laughing during an Ice cream truck race I had. :D

LOL, is it still under 3 years old? wrap it in towel and brick it.
It is the disk though, Rockstar seem to build their discs dodgy some how since bully has had problems, the ps3 bar the bugs seems to have people noticing it reading the disc hard and on the 360 people and me noting it a bit more noisy trying to read the disc. Compared to mass effect it is very noisy.

The mission based on a certain movie beginning with H where H is a temperature is very cool, fun and a little challenging and a pig when you die during it, especially towards the end, grenades ftw.

skidzilla

Indeed, some brilliant missions. That helicopter chase weaving through the city with Jacob and the RPG was exhilarating. :)

One beef I have is that you cant not see a limited car for ages, you finally find one and get it and like it and then every mother and their dog has the car. I got the evo car for the first time driving around and then stuck in traffic surrounded by 7 of the same car, lol.
Similarly when you are on foot looking for a car the game seems to think to chuck you some taxis which is fair enough but seems to go overboard and all you see is yellow.

I love when your drunk though and when you call a taxi

"HEY, YELLOW CAR!"
"AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRG"
and my fav - "HEY MRRRRRR MAAAAAAAAAAAN"

Yes I have had this, though not with the Infernus, thats rare regardless of how many you have :(
