I found GTA IV boring! I rented it, played it for awhile, turned it off... I tried several times to get excited about playing it, but each time I'd find myself sighing with boredom and reaching for a book. The graphics are great, the story is somewhat entertaining, the driving is OK, so I'm at a loss to explain why it fails to hold my interest. How frustrating.

Oh well.
It might be the new control system your getting used too
But fair enough, if you donlt like it, thats life.
I think every other games mag has givern it 10 / 10...but as they say...different strokes for different folks... ; )
The Grand Theft Auto series has seen its share of critical acclaim. I must admit it is a shame that we can't keep games like this out of the hands of younger more impressionable minds. Hell, I'd even settle for parents actively parenting better so that their children wouldn't take games like this so seriously as is this case all over America. Despite these things, I find as previously mentioned games like this to be a big stress reliever. For people who can differentiate right from wrong, its games like the GTA series which I have been playing somewhat religiously since GTA2(ps1) that were really the deciding factor on how many times I've not punched someone. Going back to the early Playstation days with the game Driver, what a great way to divert my road rage.
In closing, however violent and sadistic these games are, they are a great outlet for the evil in us all. Quite frankly I think politicians should thank Rockstar for giving its "productive members of society" a way to vent frustrations without felony consequences.

Do you have a PS3 with GTA 4? Will happily give you a deathmatch. 🙂
