Bought a nice shiny copy of GTA IV yesterday morning for my PS3 (still keep meaning to buy a 360, but lack of cash and the red rings of death keep putting me off).
The game is very similar in feel to old GTAs (which is no bad thing), but the polish level has been turned up to 11. This is the GTA i've always wanted to play. The only current bugbear is the slow acceleration of the cars, but I imagine when some more beefy cars are acquired this issue will melt away. The old frustrations of saving the game and restarting a mission have evaporated, as these functions are a couple of button presses away.
As I heard someone say they were surprised when they found they couldn't do something - and that really sums it up. The attention to detail is exquisite. The depth is astounding.
I haven't even touched multiplayer yet - the urge to drive me through the singleplayer is too strong. The value for money with this game is insane.
Well done Rockstar - you've lived up to the hype.
