GTA IV Trailer Wrap-Up

As 9 million copies of GTA IV are sold, and over $400 million in revenue will be collected, we want to review the 4 trailers used to promote the game during the last year.  This is because I  don't own a PS3.  And these trailers are good.  And the second one is simply great.

Trailer # 1: "Things Will Be Different"
When this trailer was released last summer, it seemed that GTA IV would be ready for Christmas.  I was at South Street Seaport waiting for a ferry to Sandy Hook beach in Jersey.  I was looking up at a monitor at a Game Stop store, and my jaw dropped.  I'm sure Rockstar took care of Godfrey Reggio, Philip Glass, and Ron Fricke for this.    

Trailer # 2: "Looking For That Special Someone"
Like the latest Star Wars trilogy, the second trailer is usually the better one, or in this case, the best.  The editing is impressive for a video game trailer.  The music is perfect.  The song is "Arm In Arm (Shy Child Mix)" by The Boggs, a Brooklyn punk/electronica/rock band.  Can't get it out of my head now after downloading it.

Trailer # 3: "Move Up, Ladies"

Trailer # 4: "Good Lord, What Are You Doing?" A.K.A. "Everyone's A Rat"
