This is not a review.
We only had about two hours with the game before sleep beckoned, but at first blush, we can report “Grand Theft Auto IV” is a must-have item.
First impressions: Driving and walking are much different from previous games, in a good way. The NaturalMotion “Euphoria” engine does a nice job of giving objects perceived weight and inertia.
The humor is biting and it’s everywhere. We particularly enjoyed watching TV in Nico’s cousin’s apartment.
Surprisingly, we’ve yet to kill a cop or solicit the services of a prostitute.
Here we are (Stephen, Rommie and Kelvin Ma) standing in line outside a GameStop on North Dale Mabry in anticipation of the midnight release. Yes, we are losers.
Smell that? That’s unbridled testosterone.
We’re not jaded though. Stay tuned for the full review ...
