I’ve gotta say, after playing GTA4 for a while, I’m fairly surprised at the reviews it got. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great game, but it’s no 10. I would definitely say, for instance, that I enjoyed Gears of War more.
My biggest complaint is fairly simple, actually. The camera is horrible while you’re driving. It’s too low (the car literally gets in the way of you seeing), and when you turn, it doesn’t follow you quickly enough. You’re pretty much driving right while the camera is still looking straight. These probably wouldn’t be big deals in a lot of other games, but you spend a lot of time driving in GTA, so it really gets old quick. Ah well, it was still definitely worth the buy.

Looks like it has made a half billion dollars so far. Maybe you should have applied to Rockstar.

heh, it’s kind of funny… that seems like a lot, until you consider that msft made $14.45 billion last quarter.

I agree. I’ve only played it for an hour so far, but the camera angles do suck when you are driving.
