The GTA experience

I don’t think I can recall a launch of a game that has been accompanied by as many TV adverts and general buzz as the launch of the latest Grand Theft Auto. GTA4 is now ready for an unsuspecting public and promises more spills and thrills than it’s already highly acclaimed predecessors. Grand theft Auto has claimed an unlikely niche amongst gamers, when the game play was first conceived who could have know the impact that it was going to have on a generation.
Add to the game play, the stunningly realistic graphics and the GTA experience is born. The playing experience is so lifelike now, that just viewing the advanced graphics in action becomes and advertisment in itself. It has both shocked and stimulated as every innovation should, leaving you unsure as to whether it is a thoroughly good thing or a thoroughly bad thing and many people remain divided in their opinions. What you can say , whether you love it or loathe it, is you can’t ignore it, and it’s not going away anytime soon.
Spawning a culture of insider tips and cheats, reviews and guides, like a rock-band this rolling monolith of a game keeps a whole industry going and shows no signs of backing down.
