GTA 4 - or: What? Again 4 clock in the morning?

To the Game
---------------------
Just unbelievable, as Rockstar Games always manages to captivate a PC. That's all I want but not betray, as one needs to experience the game itself, and especially the story, as they unpredictably another direction strikes often through decisions. Only one have yet to say: Grand Theft Auto 4 and its two episodes are worth every penny!

During installation, there were no great problems. In both games you should definitely start the setup.exe because only all the necessary things like Social Club and Games for Windows Live to be installed during setup on Autostart.exe. Especially the Social Club is no longer necessary after the installation of the patch 1.0.7. Therefore, I recommend the following installation sequence:

1. Install the game by calling Setup.exe.
2. Games for Windows Live to download and install. Emergency beforehand the service register if no account has been set up there.
3. Patch 1.0.7 which you have to download from the Internet, install.
4. Game confirm by entering a code.

And then a lot of fun with the game.
