GTA IV on the PS3 (or XBOX i guess)

[PokerWoody]

What do we think?

likes it?
it sux?

I have only done about 3 hours so far. So far I like, but doesn't really offer too much new.

Anyone else?

Give us a review.

I've only ever played the first GTA.

What's it like? Is it worth getting an ps3? Are they better than the xbox360?

I have a wii, which is good fun, but games like PES2008 are totally pointless on it - for sure a game that would play a lot better with a standard control pad.

Well i'm about 25 hours into GTA IV (about 35 missions complete) and so far I've really enjoyed it. It's just started getting a bit tougher but it's still a lot of fun. It doesn't really offer anything major new in terms of structure, but some of the more annoying stuff like excersize, eating, territories and traveling miles to get anywhere is gone and the detail of the game is better than previous versions.

I've played PES2008 on the Wii and on the PC with playstation controllers and the PC version is infinitely better. I can't believe they actually marketed the wii version as being a better playing experience as I found it just terrible. Plus you can't get up-to-date option files made by very sad but dedicated people who live on the internet.

I'm hoping for GTAIV to be released on the PC. I suspect it'll be out before Christmas and I can wait that long. From what I've heard it's pretty good, but I haven't heard a really good synopsis of what sort of stuff is actually on it.

I think the Wii has failed to deliver any good games which really make good use of how the user interacts with it. Granted I haven't played many Wii games, but Wii Sports is still for me the best game out on it, and as the free game that come with the console, that's pretty disappointing.

Mario kart is awesome, just because you get owned at it.


I would expect mario party to be awesome too as it was great fun on the N64

Aye, Mario Kart is awesome. So is Super Mario Galaxy infact.

But, i'm a lot more of a fan of 2 player games than single player ones.

Mario Galaxy is okay, but would be better on a different platform. You get super thumb ache from the wii controller and it doesn't really make great use of the wand. It's much like SSX on the Wii really, which again would be better on the playstation.

was it true they were bringing out a starwars for the wii? i would of though that would be pretty cool using the controller as a lightsabre!
