So...GTA4, Not all that?

[Phalanx]

Seems a lot of people aren't absolutely amazed by the current chapter in the GTA series from what I've read/heard back about.
I mean sure, I'll be grabbing it - I think the current gen/networks ability to d/l additional content will make this a GTA experience unlike any before, not to mention the PVP online games...etc...will be there, along with vehicles we're not used to as yet, a new combat and shooting style, and a new set of characters.
This one actually looks to have a deeper storyline which I think will work in its favour...but yeah...am I expecting a thing of greatness? Not really.
Just another, shinier GTA.

So...thoughts from those that have played and yet to play alike?

I'd love to see a GTA game where you play as a dirty cop, for at least some of the time..

Spent a couple of hours in Liberty City last night......you summed it up pretty good so far......deeper story...shinier GTA. Haven't even got a gun yet and I hear the combat is much improved.....we shall see.

I dont like the controls of this game. The driving is really horrible.And the guy looks like he's gonna fall over when you turn him left and right.

What I've played of the multiplayer last night wasn't to bad.Cops n Crooks was pretty fun.

Exactly what I was expecting.

Will be picking up my copy in a couple days' time.

They really need to introduce some newer, more badass characters with a better storyline.

Maybe GTA V.

Just got a call from the brother in law asking if I got mine yet because multiplayer is amazingly fun without being so slanted toward the hardcore that it makes it almost a chore to play. Another person at work said he loved the single player and it's the best one he played yet. Not only that but that this main character is his favorite so far, but I'll reserve judgment until mine gets here (Friday hopefully). It really seems like people are looking for points to pick at. As is the case with most popular things. You can find any forum or IM conversation about movies, cars, or fighters bustling with activity and people talking about how something is overrated... from Fedor to Sergio Leone.
