Compared to Grand Theft Auto Sanandreas, GTA 4 surpasses it in many ways, such as:-
1.Graphics
2.Gameplay
3.General City, Vehicle e.t.c design
4.Audio( SFX & Radio)
But one way in which it does not;- STORYLINE!!!!!
Its a sad day for all true gamers out there when designers develop a game with everything, from realistic graphics to artisic gameplay but they live out the story line.
The whole purpose of gaming is to live a life mostly otherwise impossible except on video games and what good is it if the life you're living behind the screen is just as boring as you're actual life?
So, to rockstar and the rest of the developing team:- " I respect you for GTA III, Vice City and Sanandreas but with all of the respect I've dished out to you, shame on you!! Shame on you for making us wait eagerly then rewarding our anticipation with second best material, shame on you for rubbishing a number one brand name in the Videogaming World, which for some of us is all we can truly believe in, shame on you for not reaching you're full potential and finally shame on you for rushing perfection."
