I got about halfway through and though "why the hell am I playing this?" then I remembered I had no laptop and the tv reception was really bad. And I'd nothing else to play. Horrible game, especially once you end up on the islands.


Well, your opinion is obsolete because you hate everything.

This statement is in fact Incorrect. Tim loves God Hand and Devil May Cry 4. He doesn't like second rate out of date licensed games which rip off a GTA by a lazy ass developer/publisher trying to cash in on nostalgia for a film that is quite frankly rubbish .

So immediately every third person shooter is ripping off GTA?

It was far more enjoyable for me than the likes of San Andreas.

Er no.. But I think we can safely group certain free roaming crime based city dwelling in that mould.

I'm not saying you shouldn't have got enjoyment from it. I'm not even disputing Tim being a miserable git who doesn't like a lot (although he recently he has establish a deliciously dry sense of humour).

I am however saying that it probably wasn't under-rated as it wasn't very good or indeed original.

Scarface wasn't underrated, hell it wasn't even rated. I didn't know about it until a few weeks ago.

Well I don't think that proves anything regarding it's rating status DWAP. Just that you didn't know about it.

Gamespot show it as having 48 reviews with an average score of 7.7 which is an average score for an average game.. Would certainly seem to prove my points that a. It wasn't under rated and b. that some people shouldn't be allowed near a mouse or keyboard until they've engaged their brain.

So just because you don't like something, it must be bad and that noone else is allowed to have a different opinion on it?

He doesn't think people should have opinions unless they're the same as his.

Anyway, enough of the childishness. Back on topic.

Now now.. point B was directed at DWAP. 48 reviews hardly rates 'Hell it wasn't even rated' so on this occasion I was actually agreeing and indeed supporting your point.. So untangle your knickers.

As far as the point you've just raised I gave you several reasons why I disagreed with you which you handily ignored.. But no problemo dude. ;)
