What do you think of the game?
The game is good because of its location and because its so big the consumer has the freedom to go wherever. the graphics, we thought were good too.

Was it what you expected based on the marketing?
Because GTA has a huge fan club i was expecting a bit more variety within what you can do, we thought it was a little unclear of what the actual meaning of the game was. we feel that the front cover of the game misinterprets the game and creates an idea in your head that turns out to be different when you play the game.

What was unexpected about the game?
Based on the front cover of the game, we thought there would be more variety of what you could actually do, after observing someone play it seemed that a lot of the time there was meaningless driving around a big city. The front cover of the game therefore kind of misinterprets the game.

What difference did you notice between the sessions?
We felt the game was more challenging without cheats as it creates more of a difficult mission. By cheating it defeats the object of the game and makes it kind of ridiculous for example driving a helicopter through a large number of sky scrapers and driving a tank through a pier. The non cheater was a more exciting game to play and watch as it represents real life more than the other so players can relate their real world to the games virtual world more.
General comments:
We thought the graphics were pretty good and as we played it on a projector we felt that on an actual television they would be better. The violence within the whole game is very extreme and graphic. The collisions with people and objects were very realistic and graphic.
The sound is very good and atmospheric which adds to the mood of the game, the police sirens get louder as the police get closer which is a good way of putting stress onto the player. The police voices say lines such as 'smile for the camera' to irratate the player and taunt them. There is also a huge variety of dialougue within the game and you never hear someone say anyhting more than once, this way it doesnt get repetetive and annoying for the player.
