GTA IV is a fantastic achievement that mixes the traditional free-roaming play and character-driven story with the most realistic virtual environment ever created. It even has an emotional side – relationships are more important than ever – though traditionalists needn't worry. Despite some innovations such as the GPS and mobile – the latter used to organise missions and stay in touch – GTA IV feels reassuringly familiar, albeit more polished and ambitious than ever.
The driving – still the meat of the game – has been vastly improved, with a weightiness to the vehicles and a far better sensation of suspension. Car chases and the inevitable pile up are viciously exhilarating. Characters fly through windscreens, blood is plentiful. Despite this graphically - and physically - improved depiction the carnage retains the lighter touch of previous incarnations.

  1. Sarese, great contributions in class so far - keep up the great level of effort you have started with...

    some WWWs and EBIs

    WWW: Well done, professionally presented and formatted. A great start to Media.
    WWW: A decent effort – a good choice of media text to analyse.


    EBI: All the work was present and uploaded onto the blog.
    Action: Make sure you have (as a bare minimum) Holiday Research / LIAR analysis of poster / Fruit bowl / Camera angle – shot type analysis [check others blogs to see what you ought to have]

    EBI: Your analysis was deeper – the examiner will want to know of any inferences you could make based on the evidence that was in front of you.
    Action: FULLY explain all of your points, including why you think the audience is of a certain demographic and exactly what effect the colours/images/institution/reputation would have had on the target audience

    You really need to prioritise the first EBI!

    Sir
