* 18 GB Free Hard Drive Space

OMG Well , my exams will be over by then.

Maybe Rockstar wanted to compete with the other BIG game release , Prince of Persia , also as it gets closer to Christmas , i guess its a boost to their sales as well.

Muahahaha...consoles ftw!!

Aah, I remember how desperately I wanted GTA4 when I first got my PS3. The game is not as much fun as GTA SA was but it is still a good game. I feel it is overrated. The missions are repetetitive, but the city is amazing. Rockstar has paid a lot of attention to little details. There are a few thing I missed in GTA4 that were present in GTA SA such as jetpack, airplanes etc. This version however does have a multiplayer.

Muahahaha...consoles ftw!!

The graphics on the console versions are pretty poor btw.

The game is overrated anyway. Its a good game, but still does not deserve anything more than 8.5~9/10. I have the PS3 version and not very impressed. Put it down after few hours.

 

[Ambar]

Yep..GTA4 is boring, i dint even do 1 mission. Luckily i bought a 2nd hand for half the price

You wud rate the game arnd 8.5 - 9 and still claim ur not very impressed by it. Ur hard to please i guess.....but the PS3 version has real crappy graphics when compared to X360. I know it coz ive tested the game on both consoles.....

 

[roadrippersid]

I said that because its rated 10/10 or at least 9.8 by many reviewers. As for the game itself, I was bored because its too slow and had unwieldy controls. Will pick it up later then I run out of exiting games to play.

After I got my PC resurrected, I have been playing PC games all the time.

but the PS3 version has real crappy graphics when compared to X360. I know it coz ive tested the game on both consoles.....

Even the XBOX 360 versions graphics are crappy in a different way. I had watched videos of both versions before getting the game. I got the PS3 version because I got it 300 bucks cheaper than than the 360 version.
