OPM UK Review arrives with loads of new details
OPM UK Review arrives with loads of new details
The Official PlayStation Magazine in the UK has made it way to subscribers, and is now the second magazine to full review the game. Similar to Official Xbox Magazine, the final score is 10 out of 10. So far, so good!
Below are the best details from the new review:
- One of the reasons Niko goes to Liberty City is to track down the man who betrayed his old army unit.
- Cars no longer catch fire at the slightest provocation.
- There are several points at which you make life or death decisions between key cast members.
- Comedy clubs feature real comedians.
- "Michelle" is the first girl that Niko hooks up with.
- Dimitiri Rascalov is Mikhail Faustin's right hand man.
- "Other uses of the phone on missions include calling a target to make him come to the window and into Niko's sniper sight."
- There is a museum called the Libertonian museum, which features dinosaur fossils and exploding vases. Environments such as these have been created specifically for shootouts, so there's plenty of cover.
- The names of every radio station in the game was included (19 in total, a new record for any GTA game):
- WKTT - We Know The Truth (right wing talk radio)
