Speaking to VideoGamer.com, the game’s creative director Simon Woodroffe said: “Our game was already quite different, but GTA IV moved the bar in terms of what people expected from an open world driving game."

OMG!!!
I hope that doesn't mean Midway want to put in sub missions where you have to take your friends bowling every five bleedin' minutes!!!
