I found Grand Theft Auto in the controversy surrounding the first game (some will remember the newscasts denouncing this shameful game which could have to attack the security forces, which had the effect of make a big free advertising Rockstar Games). Graphically outdated, I waited Series 3 (GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas) to play. After the excellent San Andreas, GTA 4 seemed less attractive when I saw him turn the first time on a friend's console. But GTA addiction was stronger and I still ended up buying it. Overall, GTA IV is darker than the previous ones, both in the scenario of the visual side. It is a violent caricature of america, the point where the criticism sometimes overrides the fun. There's still this typical caustic humor of GTA. Level map, some will regret the lack of diversity sets (unlike San Andreas) even if we can greet the quality of realization of this just hijacked New York, which for once, looks like a real city. Some gameplay developments are adding to the more realistic side, less "arcade" of the game. The scenario is very focused prosecution / shootouts. The side missions are many, but the rewards are perhaps less attractive than in previous games. Overall the game while I still liked. Maybe not as much as San Andreas, but I still took a certain pleasure in playing the main scenario and some side missions. Now concerning extensions, Episodes From Liberty City: I loved these two small extensions, more entertainment oriented than the main pane, with a simple but friendly scenario, and fun side missions. I advise all the same to finish GTA IV before starting the extensions, it is most interesting in view of the links between the different stories. Now about the installation: why but why impose it to honest buyers? Between the Rockstar Social Club, Games for Windows Live and Securom (which requires you to play with your original disc in the drive, in case the two first guards would not have been sufficient), the installation of GTA IV looks like an operation commando that comes stick a gun (or three) on the nose and repeat constantly: "You sure you totally bought the game We will check this?". Knowing that the crack teams always get their way, which is found bothered in the end? Answer: the honest idiot that bought its license and installing a monitoring program obediently (against itself) on their computer. I will end on delivery parcel arrived in very good time, in very good condition. Impeccable.
