@ Dizzy

Most multi plats are better on 360 but GTA4 is not one of them, Egm, IGN have all said otherwise. Every blog has said otherwise. Yea installation is annoying bu for GTA who would care? You really think if 360 had the optio everybody would not do it?

Also 1up but what do i know i just read official reviews...lol

Once again the Brits make the best games

Dosnet matter which version I get, don't trust either of my friends lists to leave CoD4 alone for multiplayer.

DiamondIce: They had the exclusive online review so their embargo date was different to ours. Most games sign exclusive review deals either with IGN or Gamespot.

No. Fucking. Way.

Shit. Twat. Cunt.

I was honestly expecting a 9 at most from Eurogamer.

10/10 and it isn't a raving slobbering cock-up of a review.

I guess this makes my pre-order a good move, although I can't help but wonder - after reading all these rave reviews - if I'll really enjoy the game THAT much. Time will tell, and I can't wait.

Didn't expect anything less than a 10. I haven't even played it yet and I just know it's going to be GOTY.

"It must help secure those nice big 360 ad deals on the home page though. "

Now you are just Trolling.

EG has given plenty of games with BIG ads bad scores.

ANyway... I am outa here. I think some of you will be surprised the coming weeks with some of the "face-offs"

@rauper

I wouldn't worry about that as most gamers trust neither IGN or Gamespot. They have been shown to inflate scores far too often.

Been mucking about with this game most of the day in my local game on both PS3 and 360. Didn't really notice much pop-in on 360 or any framerate issues on PS3. Did notice that the colours on 360 are dark though (solved by calibrating TV).

Man! Its 10/10 for X360 and also 10/10 for PS3 ARENT you satisified with just having great game shortly available on your system??!

I think we need to keep cool head and wait for inevitable head to head in EG, ign.com and elsewhere but hey there will be just minute differences, you have to be total anal and perfectionist to buy new system just for the ever so slight advantage! Its ll play great on either.

No tired comments of aircraft noises, pwer of teh cell etc will change the mind of people who know which platform they get it on. Loyalty to the brand is sad, both company deserves praises/criticisms.

I thought EG would likely give out 9/10 for perhaps some faults but no, know that we have a masterpiece in our hands..well after Tuesday that is!

"Seen the first review page now, is it just me or is this review worded and laid out quite terribly? It seems to be jumping from one random game feature to the next, with no real structure."

The first half of page 1 talks about how Rockstar avoids wasted time, and the second half talks about where the game is most refined. Our "GTA IV review walkthrough" will go up when we've bought some more RAM for the server.

I hope EG is going to do a review of the multiplayer part as well? In this version it is rather limited :)

Until I began reading reviews saying "GOTYFTW!" and "best game this generation" I was not interested. Now I am. I'm currently Wii-only but will be getting a good PC soon, so hopefully R* will do a PC version (they usually do) since I'm not spending money for either of the other consoles (360 has shite hardware and PS3 has a deficit of interesting games).

not one of the most flowing reviews ever was it?

would it have killed you to do the face off before launch so as you might have slightly useful to some of us with both machines. we know it bloody brilliant but an opinion on pros and cons of both systems would have helped.

"so hopefully R* will do a PC version "

I would say that is 90% sure... since GTA has always done well on PC.

Regarding IGN's review, that's a bit bizarre that they think the PS3 has better antialiasing. It'd be a suprising enough if it even has antialiasing.

Also, not better than Soul Calibur, then?

Pity the face off isn't till next week though, as by then I will have bought one or the other. I'm still very skeptical about how much truth there is in the 360/PS3 comparisons. Hmm, which to buy, which to buy.

According to pretty much every other review, the PS3 is a little cleaner, though has some stutter when things get ridiculously busy. 360 pops in, but EG will say the 360 version is completely superior in every way... it's just what they do.

Anyway, great game that deserves success, which ever platform.

I thought it was a great article- a hell of a lot better than the vacuous platitudes spouted by IGN. If it's difficult to follow, captrentboy, blame review deadlines and Rockstar for stuffing so much into the game :)

I guess by EG's logic every reviw that said the PS3 version is slightly better are wrong???

lol

This seems to be the one game that truly benefits from instalation...but EG hate installations even if it is for the better.

Apparently the retail copy of the 360 version does away with the pop-in issues.

If I had a ps3 i don't think i'd mind waiting to install a game on it (do you have to do this with every game tho??) - reminds me of the glorious c64 days when I'd rush home with a new game, slam it in the tape player and read the instruction book (sheet!) while it was loading.

You just can't do that anymore with the dvd's - who looks at the instruction manual and reads the story bit anymore when the game is right there in front of you, enticing you with 'press start' the minute you pop it into the drive??!

(got the wii360 combo, and will probably get a ps3 at some stage for the blu-ray movies more than anything else - seems to be one of the best players for the amount of £ its selling for!)

One thing that might swing it if you unsure is the DLC for the XBOX due out later this year.

I'm gonna kill someone if I can't find a copy Tuesday :). I preordered in a local EB Games store two weeks ago, and I still got a call Friday saying they wouldn't have enough in the first batch.
Guess I'll be running around town Tuesday morning when the stores open, praying they haven't all been taking preorders. I have seen a few times before where it was next to impossible to find a copy of a game on release day in game stores, because that's obviously typically where every gamer in town has preordered, but I could walk right into the closest electronics store and pick the game off the shelf.
It does unfortunately sound like it could prove more difficult this time though.

Must say by EG's usuall high standards this review was poorly written.

Still a 10 is a 10, and while i disagree with Halo3 getting a 10 it was still a fun game and so was Super Mario galaxy. All in all with the few reviews out so far it looks like R* have delivered.

I'm now gonna go watch the gametrailers video review

I could not agree more. Vacuous platitudes are a staple of mediocre critics. "Fantastic", "Amazing" and "Superb" doesn't really tell you anything you couldn't gather from the score itself. I appreciate Eurogamer's levelheadedness, even if it is only feigned.

I declare anyone who comments on the face-off instead of playing the game a sad cunt.

And not just because we already know the PS3 version is superior.
