if you like GTA3 you will like GTA4 plain and simple. the controls and style of play are similar throughout.
I wouldn't say that the game itself is particularly innovative, rather it is a next generation of GTA with better graphics, and better physics. I haven't gotten to do much with multiplayer but its been fun from what i've tried.
As far as the special edition goes...if you are a video game collector then it is worth it...if your just a player, prolly not.
just like vice city, but with more mafioso missions
more emphasis on boats and a little more difficult to find a helicopter
a must have for any college student
it fun to play and can go all as u like beat them and stole stuff it cool (dont think it to follow real thing or u mmight bust to jail)it great game
"Very good graphics! Great story line. Awesome free-roaming experience of new york city! Definitely for the grown-ups."
"I got this special edition for my son. The look on his face was enough reward."
