Yesterday I had the occasion to play GTA 4 on a brand new PlayStation 3 console. And I was stunned by the quality of the game, no PC game can be compared to a console one, especially GTA 4. Graphics are brilliant, I haven’t noticed any bugs in about 3-4 hours of playing, the sound has an exceptional quality, especially when you play the game on a 5.1 surround system.

From the start of the game, I noticed that Niko Bellic (the main character) doesn’t have the same Superman abilites like Carl Johnson from GTASA. This guy can’t turn around in a fraction of a second and can’t switch his guns instantly, by spawning them in his hand. Also, at a noticeable speed, if you hit a pole or wall or something, you are thrown through the windscreen. Also, the police heat-system has changed, you get rid of the cops if you run away from the heat zone. The bigger the killings, the bigger the heat zone.

I found the game a little bit difficult, compared to GTASA. I had a mission to rescue Niko’s cousin from a warehouse, I almost did it after the third attempt but at the end I stepped with the car onto a sort of mine.

What is also missing from the game: the countryside. GTA 4, like GTA 3, doesn’t have any countryside, only a big city. (But GTA 4 has a very very big one, compared to GTA 3).

I couldn’t play in multiplayer, ’cause my friend didn’t had a internet connection plugged to his PS3. However, I’m now thinking how can I get some $$$ fast so I can buy a console too, because, even though the game is released on PC, it will always have performance issues.

To sum up, I personally think that GTA 4 is the best videogame, and will continue to remain on top until another GTA will be released.
