Is GTA IV really that great?

Richard Newcombe, our friend at GamerPac recently wrote a mini-review on GTA 4, discussing whether it really does have any real replay value.

I’ve completed the GTA IV story-line now and I’ve been wondering, is it all it was cracked up to be. Yes the graphics are good, yes there is a lot of fun in the shoot-outs and a lot of fun running over police and trying to escape 6-star wanted on a motorbike with no helmet, but after you’ve completed the story, there isn’t much to do, you aren’t told about any major side missions like killing these really weird pigeons or doing jobs for people, all you are told to do is drive around and have fun, which I was doing all through the story. finding all the stunt jumps to me is just stupid, you get games like Crackdown which made orb collecting fun by having them increase your skills, but pointlessly collecting items, it’s just not fun… unless you are one of those sad xbox live people who never come offline and have 1000 gamerscore on every game except King Kong.

Rockstar has said that there will be downloads coming soon to show people the side missions and secret areas to hunt down, but until then you’ll be bored out of your skull after finishing the story-line.

anyways I’ll keep you people updated on the situation about the downloads,

see you.
