Just dont get it. Not my sort of game i guess. I prefer FPS games, on the PC, which does them best. Same with GT, never saw the point and found it incredibly boring.

I just popped by on the way to work this morning at about 7:20 and picked up a copy. I think they'd sold out of PS3 versions, but mines on the 360 so I was ok

We reasoned that there aren't any other decent games on the PS3 so they'd prob sell out quick

Anyway, got my copy sat in my drawer at work, cant wait til this evening, I'm just itching to play it. Atleast 2 blokes at work have the day off today specifically to play it.

That nice of him.

He turned up and saw the queue with about 150 people in it, went to turn round and go home when a mate called out to him, who was halfway along the queue, so he joined him. Cheeky, but I'd have done it as standing round for 1.5hrs at that time of night doesn't appeal, hence I just bought it this morning, lol

Got my copy in the post and what can I say........AWESOME!!!!

First truely next gen game IMO.

The little touches are awazing, the way people try to hold onto the car when you drive away. Hit a post a full speed and you fly through the window. I can't say I've seen pedestrian that looks the same yet. Also I was expecting pop up and some slow down. So far not a sign of either. Seems to be running at a solid 30 fps

i got my game today, played it and what a top game!!!!!!! but with one HUGE!!! PROBLEM!!! i was playing it and the game crashed and my ps3 wouldn't switch off so i had to turn it off at the back of the console. i turned it back on now my PS3 wont play any game i still have the cross media bar and can access the internet, just wont play any games now

i read on the internet that theres a problem with the downloadable system update V2.3

no no GTA for me now, what makes it worse is that a played it, got into it, now it wont play

should of bought an XBOX!!!!!!

xuk · Post by **xuk** » Tue Apr 29, 2008 8:50 pm

im running version 2.3 on PS3 with no problems. the problem i have is that i get signed out of the PS network(upto 5 times an hour some days)

its been happening since i first started using it online. it makes my blood boil at times(all). You would of thought that with all the money,resources and technology kickin about SONY would be able to sort the job out
will slog it out thou coz i cant use a xbox pad

calibrax · Post by **calibrax** » Tue Apr 29, 2008 8:52 pm

Well I've done it.

Ordered an Xbox 360 Premium with GTA4 from play.com, using voucher code "experience08" which gives £10 off, making it a bargain £189.99

Only problem is that bundle isn't released until Friday... I'm hoping they deliver early, but to be realistic I don't expect to get it until next week.

I also bought a few games off eBay... PGR4, Forza2, Assassin's Creed, Oblivion and Bioshock... total cost, just over £80 including postage

good games but you NEED COD 4 and just expereince Halo 3. And Mass effect- utterly incredible game. You can't play it the same way twice AND each attempt can take upto 150 hours to complete AND they have released new missions.

xuk · Post by **xuk** » Tue Apr 29, 2008 8:56 pm

--- a pint is right about COD4

online anyway. i completed the actual game in 4 dayz

Well, I already have COD4 for the PC.. Halo on the original Xbox didn't really impress me, although everyone raved about it. But I'll certainly add Mass Effect to my list for future purchase, as it does look interesting.

Agree COD4, I'm addicted to it on the 360.

Well played GTA last night and what an awesome game. Went and got drunk with Roman, screen goes all blury and you cant stand up. He told me to take a cab home but i thought sod it and tried to drive. Got 100 yards down the road and crashed into a car and got nicked by old bill for drink driving. So realistic.

Did the same, cops gave chase eventually the car was about to explode, so i legged it on foot and found another car. Managed to get away only to get a phonecall from Roman, asking if i could pick him up from the hospital lol.

Does anyone know where all the sports bikes are? I keep on looking for bikes and never seem to be able to find any! I found a cruiser/chopper thing once, but that's it.

So far I think the graphics, the extra features and everything is great, only problem is I find sometimes you end up driving about wondering what to do, you really have to seek out the missions, maybe it'll get a bit busier later on. Plus I spent ages looking for a place to buy food, had to dig out the paper map in the end, places to eat aren't anywhere near as easy to find as in previous games, nor are weapons and stuff.

I think the bikes will be in other cities as you unlock them like the old games. As new area's unlock new cars unlock aswell.
