Wil Wheaton’s post regarding this lovely game is pitch perfect.
I arrived at Best Buy on Tuesday morning after dropping Padre off at the airport for work.
A few people in front of me at in store pick up, then several more arrived and several more and -, well you get the point.
“I figured it was time for a sick day,” the over thirty guy in front of me grins.
Yep, this is what adult life has come down too. Calling out sick from work to play video games.
After playing Saint’s Row and Crackdown, I have to say after missing all the GTA shennigens from PS1/PS2, GTA IV is a welcome addition to the “weeee, I can drive anywhere I want, run people over, car jack anything I want and it’s all fake!” category.
Managed to carjack a similar car from Highlander only to have Queen’s Hammer to Fall greet me as I drove away and managed successfully to hulr myself and a stolen cop car off a unfinished bridge and kill myself on a Moped.
The only things missing from this game: First is a Halo 3 inspiried video replay/still camera feature so all of your crack ups can be saved for posterity. Second is an email system via FF XI to email the pictures and lastly, some way to actually quit the game instead of bouncing yourself out to the Xbox Menu.
