Ah, Grand Theft Auto IV. It’s perhaps the biggest release in the history of video games, and it has received near-universal acclaim — well, that’s except for a few facets: namely, the multiplayer and the driving. Regarding that second point, I received a couple of emails earlier this week asking about a “driving guide” that I had supposedly written up, and I also saw a number of comments wondering when it would be released. I had no idea how word of it got out until I noticed Jim’s “Second Jimpressions” blog, in which he mentioned the “ridiculously lengthy tutorial on automobile turning” that I had written in a staff emailer.
Well, I don’t mean to burst your bubble, folks, but this purported driving guide is nothing profound. It doesn’t comprise any “secrets” or anything of the sort; it merely consists of some tips on how to keep your car under control on the streets of Liberty City. Hell, it wasn’t even close to this long when I originally typed it up. But before I get to it, I’ve also included a bit of background on the automobiles in GTA IV, and my opinion of the changes that Rockstar has made. Hit the jump to go back to driver’s ed.
[Editor’s note: This was originally posted in my community blog, but at Reverend Anthony’s recommendation, I’ve moved it here. Enjoy!]
