Grand Theft Auto IV: First impressions

Xenctuary | April 20, 2008 | Previews | Playstation 3 XBOX 360 
Eurogamer have written up their first impressions of Rockstar Games' highly anticipated sandbox sequel, Grand Theft Auto IV. A host of gameplay features are detailed in an honest look at the game that will be taking over the disc drives of Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles worldwide April 29.

Note: This content contains gameplay "spoilers".
Grand Theft Auto IV's 29th April arrival on PS3 and 360 has been widely, not to mention voluminously heralded as the defining moment of this generation of consoles. Cruising around Liberty City in high definition on the biggest LCD television in the world, you can easily tell why: where Vice City and San Andreas were only able to extrapolate from the GTA III base - albeit to record-breaking effect - getting to know GTA IV is a steady sequence of pleasant surprises and sensible reconfigurations. Liberty City may be, to borrow from the game's amusing website, "where the American Dream comes to die", but it's also where the Grand Theft Auto series has come to be reborn.

    Wow. I just skimmed through the pages but I can tell its going to be slick. I like some of the realism involved like breaking the passanger window when jacking a car. Aaahhhh, 8 more days!!!

    quote
    Even armed with assault and sniper rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and a full health and body-armour quota, the desaturated colours of a slow-motion stumble into death were never far away. Fortunately, going out in a blaze of glory sends you to hospital, where you emerge with your weapon arsenal intact.
    So wait, does that mean when we get wasted and go to hospital our weapons will be there? That is freaking awesome. Its better than what it used to be in SA and VC

      It would sure make me alot less worried about dying if I get to keep my weapons.
