By the time the story threads start to tie up, the mission trees shake out, you're totally invested in the characters and their world. <u>I'm actually jealous of everyone about to experience it for the first time.</u> The greatest testament to GTA IV's brilliance is that I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since putting the pad down.</div></div>

Yeah my brother is going to be up there as well because he also preordered his copy at G2K. That place is going to be P-A-C-K-E-D. This game is estimated to crush even Halo 3's sales, if that tells you anything.



Here are some of the coolest things about the game.. of course, this is only a few out of a billion:

- Uses the Euphoria physics engine (if you crash, you may fly through the windshield; if you shoot someone in the leg, they may crumple to the ground and start to crawl; if you shoot a car's tire, it may lose control and go crashing through obstacles in the environment)

PHYSICS ENGINE EXAMPLE:
(Notice how even after the player leaps out, the car doesn't stop!)


- You'll not often see the same-looking person twice in the city

- People carry around cell phones and you'll hear different ringtones, etc. playing

- There are actually different parts of the city with their own characteristics ("ghetto" areas, for example, which feature crappy cars that backfire all the time)

- Multiplayer with FIFTEEN - yes, 15 - fully featured game modes including a "free roam" mode in which you can just mess around in the city itself

- Single-player, if you follow the missions, is supposed to be very lengthy, meaning that it will likely take you a very long time to beat not only the game itself, but to get bored of everything that there is to see

- And more!!

I have had mine on reserve at G2K for quite some time now, I prolly won't be able to pick it up until Tuesday afternoon though.

Hey LPD, in the PS3 version, there are supposed to be fewer jagged edges on objects and the "pop in" (objects popping in from the distance as you get close) is supposed to be much less noticeable.

You lucky dawg!!

Awesome, I hadn't heard that.
