It would be awesome if the only thing missing was one cut-scene, not going to bother ordering from overseas for that.

PSM3 Review ( It is in French so I wll just post a summary)
  • The immensity of the city is almost frightening
  • The graphics are very cared for whatever subject or detail.
  • In San Andreasn but without wandering in the streets was sometimes boring, but the beauty of Liberty City and animation make it a real pleasure to walk
  • Roman, the cousin of Niko that will motivate them to start missions in constantly reminding her large family plans Bellic the family.
  • You can make bosser girls joy to your compts.
  • Shops arms will be well and truly present.
  • It will also be possible to take the subway to get from one end to another of the city.
  • During the missions, Niko could put to good use his abilities to climb and infiltrate quietly.
  • Niko and his friends had to turn the trunk of a bank using explosives.
    S'en est suivit une course poursuite avec le SWAT, des hélicoptères, et Niko a dû se réfugier dans les souterrains du métro pour avoir ammasser 250000$.​
    This was followed a race with the SWAT, helicopters, and Niko had to take refuge in the Underground subway ammasser for $ 250000.
  • In the clothing stores, you choose your oblačila and you try directly.
  • .​
    The Pay N Spray is not being used to evade the cops, just paint your car.
  • The only flaws noted that journalists are the worries of sight, and the displacement of heavy character.
Finally, the journalists said that his lifetime exceeded anything we had imagined, the virtual world will s'arréter when GTA4 will be out, the shutters will close ...
Huge, huge, violent and angry, just the best games of all time. This is a new era is beginning.
...​
If perfection exists only in dreams, reality goes beyond fiction ...

The game has received excellent 20/20 note.

I tried my hardest to translate it all.

Wow that's really early if they start shipping now. :crazy:

Hopefully the release date gets broken, then all the other stores can start early.

Yeah just got the email saying they shipped it. Doubt i will get it even with express (think they are in S.A) before Anzac day, so probably Monday. Some European stores are hinting they will start selling Friday or Saturday.

Those pics are real but they will get busted if they are caught releasing early.

So we know EB won't be doing it, they won't even break release date for Mario Kart FFS :mad:. I NEED Mario Kart to keep me sane until Tuesday FFS.

Apparently ALL Aus stores have it now, but won't be releasing it early.

Well the likes of EB wont, they have the whole midnight launch an all so I don't think they'll ruin that.

I ordered from EB in hope of getting it first, if only I went with DVDCrave lol.

Someone somehow leaked the intro video into the net. For those interested, it shows the intro and the first 2 minutes or so of gameplay. SPOILERS AHEAD, OF COURSE.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X5PtlXBF2E

It will probably be taken down soon, too.

dang, " This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Take 2 Games"

I've played San Andreas - indeed the best PS2 game i've played

Liberty City wasn't too bad... but i hated the missing features

can't wait to see this one...

I read that review, and I am salivating already. Purchasing a PS3 and pre-ordering GTA IV was a smart move.

From what I can see in the IGN review, they really haven't removed much from the game! (hooker riding niko in the car for example)


Picking up my copy tonight along with a case of redbull and a doctors certificate for tomorrow off work :lol:

Hookers not cut from Aussie version.
Narayan Pattison IGN AU
Australia, April 27, 2008 - After having played the Australian Xbox 360 box copy thoroughly we're happy to report that the "minor differences" Rockstar admitted were made to pass classification haven't made any impact to the GTA experience that our seasoned eyes can spot.

The infamous act of picking up hookers in your car remains intact in the Australian version. This was the most likely cut to be made to appease the OFLC and the fact that it hasn't been made indicates that the actual change must be very minor indeed.

Fans of the raunchier side of GTA can also breath easily upon hearing that strip clubs, complete with private lap dances are also completely accessible and intact in the Aussie version. Other potential items for the cutting room floor were getting drunk and being able to then drive while drunk, but both of these options are still present.

Our best guess is that something has been trimmed from a cut-scene. So, although we can't say for sure what has been cut, we would urge people planning on boycotting the Aussie version to reassess their plans. Considering hookers, lap dances and drink driving have all sailed through you're very unlikely to even notice, let alone miss, whatever was snipped.

F**k that, my Play-Asia version from the US costs $70, the one I'm picking up at midnight (I can't wait anymore :lol:) costs $150 and EB are offering $110 for just the game if you trade in by 6th of May.

So $150 + $70 - $110 = $110, so that is $110 AUD for the special edition, I don't miss any play time and I get the uncensored one from America :D.
