GTA4 sucks.

GTA4 sucks at being a horrible game that is.  The game is freakin awesome.

 I went to the midnight opening at Gamestop near my house to purchase the game.  That was interested because it was first midnight release party that i had ever been too.  There were about 100 people split into 2 lines.  Our local mall has 2 gamestops in it.  One for the bottom floor and one for the upper floor.  So, i assumed that you were supposed to get into whatever line of the store it was that you pre-ordered the game.  So, i went in the upstairs line.

 They us in the mall around 11:30 pm.  So, some people were out there waiting for an hour.  Actually, i was expecting a bigger turn out, but i guess most people were waiting til the next day to get the game.  Well, i am a game addict so i needed to get it the day it came out. Also, being a former employee of Take 2 Interactive, and this being the flagship product from that company, made it all that more interesting.  I have played GTA since GTA came out on the PC so many years ago.  The game was controversial then and its controversial now.

 Grand Theft Auto 4 is definitely not for kids.  Don’t let them play it.  In fact its your job as a parent to “torture” your kid.  So don’t let them play it eventhough they are dieing too!

 Anyway, so i got the game at around 12:15am and made it back to my house for a nice gaming session.  I played for about 2 hours and I text my cousin who also got the game.  We are all playing it on the PS3.  So if you want to challenge me leave a comment on my blog and lets something up. 

The game is well improved over San Andreas.  The largest improvement besides the graphics upgrade is the addition of multiplayer.  FANTASTIC!  It’s so much playing online with my friends and going crazy in the big city.  I haven’t really ever had this much with a videogame before.   It’s total fun.

I’ll be writing more on this game too as i plan to be playing it an awful lot.

For now, i am signing off to catch some ZZZzzzz’s.
