Its been a crazy week at GPstore, but thankfully the release of Grand Theft Auto IV has finally been put to bed. With all the confusion over the classifications adding to our customer service workload and our warehouse team having to pull extra shifts over the long weekend… we’re really happy to get this game out the door! (And now its just up to Courier Post to do their part).
Having played the game extensively over the long weekend, I must say its one hell of a game, but it’s definitely not for the faint-hearted.
For me the most impressive thing about GTA IV are the production values. There is so much polish in this game — it’s amazing. From the mini games, to the radio stations, to the TV stations, the cut-scenes, the intro, the cars, the physics, the sound, and so-on are all wonderfully crafted. Its very very rare for products to be this great. Very very rare. This game is a work of art.
The reviewers agree too… all the early reviews are astounding. The game is currently rated a perfect 100 at Metacritic. This game just raised the bar for video games to a phenomenal new level.
I think its a shame that a lot of the focus will be on the games content rather than its quality. GTA IV is rated R18 for very good reasons (yet it still baffles me how Australia allows 15 year olds to play it). Yes it’s violent. Yes the language is coarse. Yes its gritty and dark. But…
Grand Theft Auto IV is one of the coolest video games to ever grace our planet.
