Grand Theft Auto IV

    Ive played all the GTA games and similar games throughout the years, i continue to see lack of things that i personally wanted in the game, for instance...the lack of weapons, cars, boats, aircraft, shops and clothing.

    There are 15 weapons to get, what happened to the weapons from the other games? I want a minigun...Could they not have added in more?

    There are 100 cars, some of these cars are hidden or rare to find, 4 helicopters in the game, no planes though? Has this got to do with the twin towers? I swear i didn't do it! I really enjoyed flying around in San Andreas and the way the army dog fight you in the jets.

    There is not much customization in the game, lack of clothing...Why cant i get niko fat like CJ? Why does it seem like I'm driving on ice all the time! This reminds me of Gran Turismo...I bet they are going to squeeze another 3 titles out of this engine. Your not having my money again Rockstar...:mad: I like Jam.

    The driving is a lot more realistic in GTA4 than in the previous games. Once you get used to it you'll be fine. I couldn't give a toss about clothes or shops or rpg-like stats like weight, weapon skill etc. If you had planes where would you fly them to? Not like there's any other city to go to...

    :p

    The lack of planes was a little annoying alright, but I rarely even bother flying helicopters so I doubt I would have got much use out of planes...
    I reckon they'll definitely end up adding them to the expansion pack this fall

    The parachute element was fun in San Andreas too, something I'd like to see back in DLC.

    I Would fly the planes in and out buildings like in San Andreas was good craic.

    The lack of planes is definitely due to the fact it's in New York. Rockstar made the right choice to avoid controversy.

    Realistic is not the same as fun.

    I find the car handling fun anyways.

    Buy Flight Simulator X and get the twin towers as extra scenery, practice makes perfect.

    The single player was really getting to my head, so i was playing the multi player for the first time yesterday, its so hectic and funny!

    I'm driving along and next thing a helicopter is chasing me,shooting machine guns and all, i spin the car around and riddled your man through the window with the UZI.
