A totally random, hilarious GTA IV review

RKRigney | September 04, 2008 | Reviews | Playstation 3 XBOX 360

Despite being a little late to the party, SlapStic.com publishes a comedic review of Grand Theft Auto IV. No score is given, as the fine people at SlapStic are of the opinion that people should actually READ reviews to see what people think about a game.

Seriously though, GTA 4 does have some good points...

It's a Grand Theft Auto game, so naturally it has a tremendous soundtrack. The funny talk shows, the country music, the hip-hop, it's all here. I have a surprising favorite amongst the soundtracks, though.

In San Andreas, CJ was a gangster and thus quite a bit of rap music was included.
Niko, however, is eastern European, so a station playing exclusively eastern European music was included.
Why I like this style of music, I have no idea. I'm not from Europe, nor have I ever been to Europe. God knows that I don't understand its languages. Maybe it's something about the way the rapper lady starts counting in German, and then mumbles something that sounds like a curse word, I really don't know. Chances are, you'll like the station too, though.

It hits on some good points, but why does everyone detest the driving?

  I guess people hate challenges.
  
  The driving only bothered me the first 15 minutes. After that, you kind of get used to it.

    I never really got a good grip on it. I felt like the controls should've been a tad more arcadey for that style of game..

      The driving pretty much killed it for me. I was stuck on a level, because of the driving. I thought I'd relax and do a race, but I remembered how much I hated it so I quit half way through cause it was boring me.
      
      I loved screaming through streets in SA, it was so much fun. I couldn't do it in GTAIV without the realism poking it's ugly unwanted head. The motorcycles were really the only thing I had fun driving, but everytime I'd get on one, no exageration, I'd die.

I'm sorry but how is that totally random and how is that hilarious? It is completely and utterly to the point. I agree with it 100%.

Kru Edit: Make that 90% I think Onlines brilliant, and works perfectly fine for me (I'm on the PS3).

Hey everyone! Thanks for the kind words (I'm the author, in case you're wondering).

About the driving: I'm fine with challenges in games - but driving in GTA isn't supposed to be challenging. It's supposed to be balls-out wild and fun.

The online play continues to be an issue for me, but I've had a lot of people tell me that it's fine for them - so I don't blame you for saying that.

The last thing: My original title was "Grand Theft Auto franchise: WHAT HAVE U DONE 4 ME LATELY??", which makes my first sentence work a lot better.
