Here it comes, ladies and gentlemen — the onslaught ofGrand Theft Auto IVcoverage that’s guaranteed to both anger you (because you don’t have it) and spoil all of the good stuff (because you don’t have it … yet).
IGN hasposted their full review of the game, which spans seven pages, and ends in them awarding the game a 10 out of 10. I refuse to read the review myself — playing the game for a few hours was almost enough of a spoiler for me. But browsing the first paragraph, I read this: “Without question,Grand Theft Auto IVis the best game sinceLegend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.” Well then.
So the game is good. We get it. While waiting by my door for the FedEx man to arrive with my copy for review (no, it didn’t come), I realized something — does it really matter? You’re all going to run out and buy the game either at launch or a few days later. If I gave the game a three out of 10, you’d call me a “tw@”and buy it anyway. It’sGrand Theft Auto IV, man. If the game came with trace amounts of anthrax lining the instruction manual, you’d still be lined up for the midnight release.
Is there anyone herenotplanning on buyingGTA IV? If so, please give some compelling reasons why, and provide scans of your medical records, because I don’t think you’re well.
