Yeah the intro with the Flashing Lights song was the shit! Glad it made it to the soundtrack.

I've tried to play a few games today and nothing can keep my mind off of GTA. I'll play like 20 minutes of something then decide to go back to the computer where I just sit and talk about/read about GTA. :lol

Has anyone found out if you could customize the controls in the game? I would hope at least one review brings up the fact that you could customize the controls.

They did say you can tweak the sixaxis tilt controls to an incredible degree. Why wouldn't they do the same for controls? :D

If you only plan on playing single player, definitely. DLC is enticing for the 360 though, but I'm pretty sure PS3 will get some form of DLC at some point as well.

I'm pretty sure the retail SP experience will be enough for me until the PC release.

I don't know, but I just want someone to find out before I buy the game.

I want to use R1 to shoot and L1 to aim instead of the bad R2/L2 on the DS3. Both R1 and L1 and analog, so let me use them! For driving I don't have an issue with R2/L2, but after playing the Kane and Lynch (awful) demo yesterday to test out how R2/L2 shooting controls work, I am sure it would annoy me while playing, especially with a handgun or shotgun.

My favorite parts are the car chase where they're in the cop car and blow up the car in front of them, and the helicopter flying over The Meat Quarter (Meatpacking District).

For the people that decided to not watch the leaked gameplay videos, trust me. The game deserves the 10. The physics and animations are some of the best I've seen.

Fuck it, I cancelled my preorder at an EB that won't be open midnight and am about to go to a futureshop that will be open at 12:01 so I can prebuy the SE.

GTA! Woo!

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

It's going to be so sweet man. So fucking sweet.

Somehow I'm getting a Midtown Madness vibe from the MP. It doesn't make sense I know.

Am I the only one?

The part when the guy falls from the crane (after being sniped) and lands on the car (setting the alarm off), is the greatest thing I've ever seen in a game.

oh shit then it will be a must buy.

I'm on the edge with this one. I couldn't give a damn about any of the other GTA's. To damn random but the IGN review seemed to make it nice.

Is it possible to avoid the strippers and all that shit or is it forced in the story? The wifey can't stand that shit and I can't either really..

From the review.

The idea of a "living, breathing city" has always been somewhat of a joke in gaming. Every city in the past has felt artificial in some way. But Liberty City feels like a real place. And its history is built not only into the architecture and the people, but even in the music. There are more than 200 songs in GTA IV and many of them were recorded or remastered with specific references to Liberty City. You'll hear songs on the Classics station referencing the city, as if to suggest there's decades of history built into the culture. The soundtrack is an unbelievable blend of rock, pop, reggae, R&B and hip-hop. But more astounding is how well the songs and the DJs blend into the city itself.

Just watched the IGN Vid review. Cool to see gameplay footage but what a poorly done review. You'd think that after so much time in the biz, the IGN guys could at least put together a review with a bit of substance. Guess not.

Can't wait for the gametrailers review...always so much better.

That was pretty horrible no? Heck, even the gameplay vids don't show all that much in terms of exploring (though maybe they're trying to back off spoilers in the vid?)...pretty poor vid review (except for the awesome intro).

It would also have been nice to post which version is which in the vids instead of relying on the GUI (there was PS3 and 360 footage mixed together).

Ah well.

I thought it was actually good. I was hoping they wouldn't give away too much and they actually didn't give away anything.

Well friends, months of frothing anticipation have not been ignored by the gaming gods (or my friends). I will actually get to play the game at a buddy's house tonight. He didn't pirate it, it's legit. It's on the 360 which is the console I'm getting it for. Can't wait to get out of work!

Well, if someone like me can only tell which version is being played based on which buttons show up on the screen, then that only means good things about both versions.

Yeah, seriously. If you can't tell the difference, it's irrelevant.
