Game is decent, it's the same shit in a new wrapper. The dating and going out with your buddy stuff to play different games, get drunk, and have sex with your dates is ok. I think it is overrated though. It's the same fucking game, multiplayer stuff is neat. Driving physics absolutely suck.

Hahahahahahaha. Picking mine up on the 1st.

Yeah I think its fun but really what could they have done and not taken away from the original gameplay. I think thats the only reason anyone has bought it. I think the designers were looking to make almost the same game because if they didnt, people would lose interest in the GTA series. Potentially spelling disaster for any future releases.

I bet you're not even close to 1/2 way through it. I bet there's still some awesome shit to uncover.

I'm only a couple hours into single player. I haven't played GTA since Vice City on XBox and Liberty City Stories on PSP. So far, there are a lot of subtle differences that make this one fun. I'm happy with it. I found myself wasting a good 15-20 minutes just channel surfing in my apartment.

Oh I don't disagree the game is good and keeping it unchanged besides updating graphics is the way to go, but it's not game of the year or deserving all the praise it has been getting. It's just a carbon copy thats been made prettier. I think game of the year should be saved for something new that is also awesome, not carbon copy sequels.

I think they could of tied multiplayer into the game a little better, instead of an afterthought, but it was their first go of it.

It's not a carbon copy. If you look deeper, the mechanics of the game has changed quite a bit. Granted, I haven't gotten into any gunfights yet. But combat has changed dramatically, for one. The storyline has gotten a bit more involved, too.

I wonder how many copies have sold already. That stat alone is goingto make it GOTY.

Yeah multiplayer sucks. FT has it and I went to play multiplayer with him and it said "For online use only". What a waste.

They've touched up some things, yes, but it is just a like updating a Madden game. They change some things, but it's still pretty much the same game. That's not really a bad thing when the original game to begin with is good.

I guess it just depends on what you rank GOTY by, if it is for customer appeal and sales, this one doesn't have a challenger.
