GTA IV on PC

If it was anything apart from just "fist fighting" it wouldn't really match the style of the game, you wouldn't expect someone like Niko to be doing all sorts of martial arts or be good at boxing...

That's because it matches the style of that game, I havn't heard much about it but it seems like a cheap GTA rip-off (in the game mechanics/physics etc.) with the stuff that was in SA (and a bit more) thrown into it.

You are only forced to shoot on missions, but you can shoot people whenever you like. Starting shootouts, getting 4 or 5* (or 6 if you can :p) and then getting away from the police is quite fun.
It's what GTA was created for. Not for completing missions, but for the high speed chases. If there's a greater thing in gaming than a 5 star police chase in GTA, I haven't played it.

I'm with you there. I've heard that they've made the police much easier to lose now - why did they do that - and you have to have a Windows Live account to save progress in Singleplayer! WTF is that all about??
 
Played it for 2 hours on my brother's computer because my one is too ancient to run it :p

It's addictive, fun and the best bit was bailing out of the car at top speed ^^
 
I have got just one word for GTA IV "Awesome"
Very addictive,great gameplay,graphics & well the cover system is just too good a must buy for any gamer.
 
OK, I have heard far too many bad reviews around the net from people with very decent systems, so I'm avoiding this one until they fix some of the problems. Price would've dropped by then as well. I might look at Saints Row 2 for now.

The system's pretty lame, IMO. You have to have 2 separate profiles created in LIVE in order to play the game in either offline mode or online mode. If you create a profile while in online, then the profile will work for you ONLY when you're signed in to LIVE. Means that you cant continue a saved game which you were playing using that account, if you are'nt signed in to LIVE.
It's best you create a profile offline. You can always upgrade that profile to LIVE anytime.

Oh, so you can play offline as well, like with Half Life 2, et al? Good, I'll do that then.
