Grand theft Auto Iv, well there's a looker. For those followers of the game from way back when, when you saw a top down view of our anti hero rushing round doing dodgy jobs and generally being a favourite household sociopath chases back then reminding me of a game called "run baby run" on the Spectrum. Liberty City is the place to be with a mix of night perps and commonplace people, then gradually spice this up with a bit of crime and rocketlaunchers and you just about have it? Oh did I mention that it looks fantastic! Not only are the character interactions flat and well executed but you get a whole host of options on how you play the character.
The cars and motorbikes look fantastic, and everybody has different properties depending on type or size. When you wipe out on a bike the character movements are splendid no longer rag doll but captivating accident. With Niko as the lead you have some excellent voice overs in the back ground, giving the game realism in a kind of sociopathic way. starting off as a Taxi driver for your cousin the game gradually leads you into the torrent of power that is grand theft auto Iv. Whether its beating up drug dealers for a friend or doing errands for the mob it isnt long before you have gotten in deep with only speed and some heavy artillery to get you out.
Batman Arkham City
Basically the whole thing looks like New York, feels like New York but is easily Liberty city. Interaction is great with the ability to shoot some pool or have a quick shandy down the local with a mate. The bridges may well have a toll to pay and if you try to get into a car to drive after having a few drinks the police will arrest you. Anyway enough talking get out their and have a go its great and before whatever says whatever about gratuitous violence and the like, your right it is and has mature content but that is why it also has an 18 certificate. Parents police your consoles and computers, but those that are old enough spend some time tearing it up with the lights low and the volume growling.
