Grand Theft Auto IV Dated For PC

PC version will no doubt have better graphics (frame rate mostly I hope) than the PS3 version, but that aside it's still a pretty dull game. I've endured 34% of it so far (over 20 hours) and it's alright as an occasional playing experience but it's not very engrossing. It's impressive in terms of the effort that must have been put into making such a huge game, but it's not as gripping as Half Life 1 or 2 (which were both longer than they needed to be) or the excellent Call Of Duty 1 and 2 single player games. And the side missions in GTA4 are stupidly pointless and irritating.

Not to mention the fact that the multiplayer modes just aren't worth playing compared to other dedicated deathmatch or team based games. And the original version of Carmageddon had more interesting driving game modes!

Overall, I guess I'm frustrated that I've played it for so long and feel like I've had so little reward. Perhaps it's just symptomatic of sandbox style games?

I completed the game on XBOX 360 and loved it!! I love the fact you get choices throughout the game which change the outcome of the game.

Its a shame the map is quite small and that you cant fly planes in this version but hopefully that will come in the next game.

The multiplayer is OK but gets boring after a while, hopefully on the PC we may see more than a max of 16 people per game like we do on COD4. Online would be sooo much better with 50 people running around causing havoc!
