World's first GTA IV review "removed at the advice of legal council"

Underated | April 06, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360 
So Rockstar's lawyers removed the world's first GTA review, they don't want anything to get out just yet. I'd actually read about 3 quarters of the review, I was going to read it again later, and then it was removed.
Rockstar’s lawyers really don’t waste time. Following the posting of what claimed to be the world’s first GTA IV review yesterday, all that’s now left of the piece is a smoking hole and the rather curt message, “This site has been removed at the advice of legal council.”

    Well this is somewhat unpredictable i mean personally i never saw this coming. But its already leaked out so i don't think much can be done now. Pity to Rockstar that this happened.

    Its hardly leaked out i mean there are only a handful that read it, very few got through the rating at the end.

    Wow, I've never heard of a review being removed. Perhaps the writer was killed.

    This was just to avoid spoiling the game too soon, as I said in the article that featured the review >_>

    They'll likely allow reviews a week, or a day or two before the game is set to come out (so it should show up on sometime between the 22nd and 28th)....At latest, they'd let reviews up on the day the game comes out. But most likely the week before it comes out. I think some ratings panel posts their reviews one week before release? They also removed their review of GTA IV because they realized GTA IV wasn't coming out for several weeks....

    This is fake. He says theres a pay n spray and also that you can install the game onto your 360 HD

      Actually its not fake, Rockstar never quite said that Pay and Spray was removed they said that Pay and Spray would not be accesible for getting rid of cops, also games can be installed on the 360 aslong as it is an optional.
