Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Loved this game!!! Comment: this was a blast, longest i've ever taken to beat a game outside of rpg. the extras are nice, bravo. enjoy Customer Rating: Summary: Great game! Comment: Great game and a lot of fun. A bit too bloody for my taste and definitely not suited for minor players, but for adults it's a lot of fun. I know that officially it is only sold to adults, but come on... we all know this does not really stop our young from getting a hand on it. I am sure that over 70% of the players are underage... Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome game, Depth may be too much for non hard core gamers Comment: Great game, had a blast playing the single player which took me around 36 hours to complete. I'm just not experimenting with the online world and it definitely adds some legs. This may be harder for some folks to get into given the huge universe, and the time it takes to gain access to new parts of Liberty City (Mirrored off of NYC) Highly recommend this title if you own a 360 or PS3 and are happy with mature content. If you are buying this for a kid under 15 I can't recommend purchasing this title, if you are buying this for a kid under 18 who isn't mature then also do not purchase. Only recommended for kids who have a sense of reality that haven't been coddled their entire life. Customer Rating: Summary: Just the Extras... Comment: During a time when most special editions are just crappy DVDs from the B side of the development team's production diaries, Rockstar comes through with some high-class swag. In all, a duffel bag, a lockbox with keys and keychain, an artbook, and a 16-track audio CD. The duffel bag is surprisingly large; to give you an idea you can probably carry two large bowling balls in it. It has a really nice bright yellow/orange lining with a repeating R* logo pattern. It's perfect to take to a gym or to lug around a cache of semi-automatic weapons and ammunition ala Falling Down. The safety deposit box is well-made and functions as a nice but less than secure storage unit, it is about the size of a flip-flop shoe box. It comes with two keys, a ΒΌ" thick R* logo keychain. This product shows the Rockstar team's pragmatism, they probably debated between giving us an action figure of some sort (which would have been cool) or something people can actually use, like the lockbox. The art book is OK, the production notes, while somewhat interesting are less than impressive, it is hardbound with semi-glossy pages but in my opinion too small (it is about 1/3 of the size of a US Letter sheet of paper). A larger booklet (US Letter Size) with more pictures would have definitely made this collector's pack worth another easy 10 bucks. But publishers have to make hard decisions and maybe the focus groups were telling them that a 99.99 price point was too high. It does seem that this was the only item in the bundle that really wasn't thought about in detail. I hope that Rockstar will release a full-size art book for this game in the future. The soundtrack features a great selection of songs from the game. Vagabond by the Greenskeepers is without a doubt one of the catchiest tracks in the game, and the one used for the television ads. Other songs of note are Nickname by Qadir and Liberty City The Invasion by Seryoga. Overall the 16 tracks on the CD are well chosen and represent some of the best music from the game by lesser known but definitely not lesser talented artists. I wish the packaging for the CD was better, it comes in what is basically a cardboard sleeve, but that is merely nitpicking. Rockstar would be well advised to give GTA IV the San Andreas/Vice City treatment and release a full collection of soundtracks from the game's radio stations. The whole kit and caboodle comes packaged in large box adorned with art from the game featuring the game's anti-hero (the PS3 version features the lollipop girl instead). Also for those of you that care about such things, the game case does not have that hideous gray box reading "Special Edition" as shown in the product photo on Amazon. It is in fact the very same game case that you get when you buy the regular edition game. Inside are an owner's manual and a large foldout map with points of interest on one side and subway map on the other. The subway map won't make Massimo Vignelli proud but it will let you know which train to take to your destination within the game. It also comes with a 1 month trial for Xbox Live Gold, which augments your subscription by a month if you already have an active Xbox Live Gold account. Customer Rating: Summary: Mature Game for adults Comment: Very good graphics! Great story line. Awesome free-roaming experience of New York City! Definitely for the grown-ups. More Reviews
