Thoughts on GTA4 - Is This the Real Deal?
Tagged Games, GeneralGTA4 is all story. Several months ago I recall complaining about the lack of emphasis put on story in games. I still believe this is true, but after playing games like Gears of War and Halo 3, I find myself going back go other games like Earth Defense Force 2017.
Here’s some representative gameplay:
After completing about 50% of the game, I believe GTA4 is overrated. I don’t know how it got so many perfect scores. The game is nearly flawless, yet it seems stripped down. It is a fun game, but so much was taken out from the other games. There are no stats to level up, no purchasable properties, and hookers don’t even fully recover your health! Anyways, it is hard to argue with a game that has broken so many records… $500 million in its first week? Take THAT, EA!
If I had to give it a rating out of 10, I would give it a 9.3. The online gameplay is everything it should have been in San Andreas, the relationship micromanaging is annoying, and I can’t buy property - outside of that, the game is close to perfect.
