You won’t need to take a seat for this one as there shouldn’t really be any shock involved. The first reviews for Grand Theft Auto IV are leaking out and the results are positive. The first official review leaking out is that of Official Xbox Magazine.
OXM has given the game the distinguished 10 out of 10. This would be a bigger deal if Future Publishing, the parent company of OXM, hadn’t brokered a deal to publish the first review. Whenever a deal is made to publish a review, we fell there might be a little bias. This isn’t to suggest the game isn’t a 10 though.
The OXM review praises GTA IV’s storyline, while also giving a big thumbs up to the new visuals and huge multiplayer environments. According to OXM, it’s all good. This is definitely good news for Take-Two (Rockstar’s parent company).
OXM did have one criticism. The magazine did find the new cover system, similar to Gears of War, a bit confusing. While we’re not sure how a cover system inspired by a popular cover system can be confusing, we’ll have to wait and see for ourselves. The review also claims that the backdrops seem to be filled with far too much repetition in the form of burning trash cans, burning cars, and bodies. That’s nothing new and something we expected. So no biggie there right?
As for the exclusive DLC headed to the Xbox 360; OXM claims these downloadable missions will provide an additional 10 hours of gameplay. Sounds pretty good to us.
