IGN.com gave this game a 10/10.

Besides graphics, is it really any different? Explain.

And do the graphics make you feel sick...because they are so good? (meaning do you really feel like you are running over innocent people now.)

I was watching the game and my brother playing it...and it's more of the same with regular improvements, this got a 10 and Mario Kart for Wii didn't...odd...

I could care less about GTA4. I like halo and spend all my time on that. Mario Kart I hear is the bomb on the Wii. I'd like to play that with its online capabilities. Mario kart on the DS is sweet too.

Regardless. "This is expected to be the highest grossing form of consumer entertainment EVER."

If killing cops and prostitutes and getting lap dances in a video game get people off then the world is already done! Don't expect this generation to do anything for us in the future. I know plenty of hard working adults will be buying this as well but I'd say there are alot of loser kids that are growing up with this stuff and they seem to be more and more desensitized every year. That's why we have 2.1 million people in prison in the U.S. alone. I saw on the news today some kid freaking out on the cops after he maced the people in a store and tried to steal a stack of GTA4 discs. What bugs me the most is that these games don't even shock anyone anymore. That tells me plenty. Kids don't differentiate the real from the fake after a while but you know tiny kids are playing this just as much as anyone else. Alrighty, now you can let me have it for saying something against the favorite game of all time, lol.

More of the same for me except updated graphics. GTA is so played out for me, personally I thought games like crackdown and saint's row have built more upon the Sandbox than GTA has since Vice City.

Wolvinator,
Well put! This game is hella fun...but it is not for anyone under 18 years of age. If any of you on dvdtown buy this for a kid, please let me know where you live, so we can "talk" about the issue face to face, before I kick your ass. (gt4 style ofcoarse)

"Letting a child play any of the GTA games is akin to, or WORSE than letting them view porn."

I agree up to a certain point with Wolvinator (let's not talk about his dislike for rated R movies...), however, and you ALWAYS forget, this kids have parents (well, ok, most of them)...

First things first, if parents don't teach their kids the difference of right from wrong, we're in trouble.

But we also have to realize, that everybody has it's own opinion and thinking, so even after parents talk to their kids, kids (and I'm not using the term loosely, since there are as many mature 16 y/o as there are 40 y/o) always have their say on what they do...

Now, I'm a 23 y/o guy, I don't have anything against rated R or unrated movies, I love to see action movies, violence, gore, profanity, etc, etc, etc...but that doesn't mean that I'm gona imitate every single thing that I see on the movies, tv or games.

We have a problem with kids and 'reality'...nowadays, there are no consequences to anything. Nowadays we don't have something we dream of, something that we dream of achieving...

And this game thing is the same as the gun thing...why blame gun makers because they make guns, when they are NOT the ones firing them? Why blame tobacco companies when they don't hold a gun to our heads so that we smoke (I don't), if WE KNOW nicotine is addictive and a health hazard? Why do we blind ourselves on saying that if somebody HAS to drink at least a 'glass of wine' is not a drunk, when the kid (yes, loosely term again) gets wasted on weekends only?

So, if I like Mario Kart, does that mean that I will want to throw turtle shells at other cars?? If I watch Terminator, I'll say "I'll be back" and smash a car into a police station? That if I see Deadwood I'll run to the nearest 'whore-house' to get serviced?

COME ON, GIVE ME A BREAK... and once again, don't blame first, SOLVE first...
