GTA IV

[maffyew]

I've avoided all forms of spoilers and only watched one of the trailers to date - haven't been overly excited about the release in general...

.. up until I watched IGN's video review. Wow on all counts - full city wide multiplayer with 16 players? Hell yes!

Tuesday can't come fast enough.

I'm still more than a little concerned about the amount of content we'll miss out on with the censored/edited MA15+ version that will be released in Australia. Do you know if games purchased in the UK are the same region code as Australia?

Word from those with early Australian copies has it that the only real bit of censorship in the Australian version is not actually seeing the sex scenes - it cuts to the back of the car and just shows it rocking about. It apparently really pushes the MA15+ rating as far as it can go, otherwise.

... if that's true, I can't be arsed importing it.

I'm fairly certain that PS3's are not region locked - but may be restricted to regions for multiplayer. I'm picking up a 360 version on Tuesday and will possibly import a UK PS3 copy later on if it turns out there's some major stuff missing.

... more surprisingly, drunk driving apparently made it into the Australian version. I was pretty certain that'd be cut.

I'm still a PC loyalist, but consoles are great for those 12+ month exclusives.
