Right; likewise I think the reviewer above is a bit overboard in seeing a video game as some sort of moral litmus test. I’ve played GTA III (for some reason IV is not available for PC) and I was actually quite impressed. What the social critics (none of whom ever play games, apparently) don’t get is that GTA is a groundbreaking series because of the non-linear gamplay. You can do very bad things in GTA, or you can spend the whole game trying to do cool stunts in cars and motorcycles, or play dress-up. It’s no more “amoral” than the Sims.
Did you ever use the cheat code to get the tank? If you do this in conjunction with the low-gravity cheat, you can turn the turret around and fire the cannon, and the tank will fly.
It’s just not out for PC yet.
I’m really enjoying it on the PS3. Some of the ignorant comments of my coworkers are almost as funny as the random dialog on the streets of Liberty City.
