Learn more about Grand Theft Auto IV. (Flash demo) SynopsisWhat does the American Dream mean today? For Niko Bellic, fresh off the boat from Europe, it is the hope he can escape his past. For his cousin, Roman, it is the vision that together they can find fortune in Liberty City, gateway to the land of opportunity. As they slip into debt and are dragged into a criminal underworld by a series of shysters, thieves and sociopaths, they discover that the reality is very different from the dream. In a city that worships money and status, life is heaven for those who prosper and a living nightmare for those who don't. Developed by the superstar designers at Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto IV continues the exciting legacy of the Grand Theft Auto franchise.

My review? Oh, that'll take a while to get through the good stuff and just a few seconds to get through the bad! This game offers a huge city that is a almost perfect replica for NYC. I love the people and especially the italians!!! But it has great graphics, great challanges to overcome without some cheats here and there...but the one thing i would change about the game is the length...I is really long, but if i wouldnt have any breaks in my gametime, it would ammount up to 3-5 hours of gameplay. I would love it to be more but, hey they have 'expantion' packs so to speak, so...im fine for now.
What's great about it: The huge city and the glits and glam
What's not so great: The length...can't it be longer...?

Ever since I was about 8 I discovered Grand Theft Auto. It Actually started with The Second Grand Theft Auto. One of my brothers friends, played it. I never asked to play, until one day my brother brought home Grand Theft Auto 3. I asked him if I could try. I did, Went absolutely insane with the gun. It is horrible actually. I just shot every random person. Than he bought Vice City. I loved it too. Years later, I met a friend in 7th grade, I went to his house, was playing a video game, He was playing Vice City. I screamed and begged him for me to try it. I haven't played since I was 9. than He also had San Andrea's. Than the same friend reserved Grand Theft Auto 4. I was freaking out, especially when he got it. I played it with him. Once I think I played it for 3 days straight. Today, I bought my own, and I'm playing it as I type this. I can seriously either pass missions, or if I'm bored I'll go into a park, and beat people up. Its a good, good game just, Its a little addictive. Especially when It's summer.
What's great about it: All
What's not so great: I wish it is was 2 player!

After 89 missions and about 20-25 hours of non-continuous gameplay, I finally beat the game.
It was absolutely fantastic.
The drama that carries on throughout the game(I'm not giving anything away) make you feel as if you are personally Niko Belic. It's so life-like it's not even funny, and at the end I actually felt kinda bad for what Niko had to go through. I WILL say you get so close to Roman as if you're actually his cousin in real life then it's all taken away..
About the rest.. You have friends and you have a girlfriend and you can do things with them as you can in real life(bowling, darts, strip clubs, eat, drinking, etc.). One more thing I love about the game are how the missions are actually based on events that can/do actually happen in real life.
All in all, I give this game a solid 10/10 and I cannot wait until GTA V!
What's great about it: Size of world(in a way this can be a con). Story line. The real-life drama.
What's not so great: Toggle controls when driving a vehicle or flying a chopper. Flying out of the windshield when you hit something hard.

GTA 4 is probably most known for its stunning graphics and amazing story. You play as Niko Belic a Russian imigrant. You will go through some crazy stuff as you try to save yuor cousin roman, and yourself. The setting takes place in Liberty City which is clearly a remake of New York City. Its got everything that NY has. For example The Stastue of Liberty is The Stastue of Happieness. Anyway, you explore 3 different islands. I am not really sure what their names are though. This game does take take realistic to a whole new level by having a 5 out of 5 graphic team. Also by the killing affects. For example you can run over people and they fly all over the place. Also if there is a car on fire and you get near the fire your clothes are set a flame and you roll on the ground. Overall GTA4 is a great game. There is only 1 problem, you can't save games at any time, you have to go to the safe house. =(
What's great about it: 90%of the game game!
What's not so great: You can't save games at any time

The interaction with the citizens of Liberty City is great. Fun to play. However, you can't save the game if you want to quit and play at a later time, even if you follow the story line. The game will allow you to save at different scenes, but it takes a while.

The only problem i found in this game, is that first, the city is not even half the size of San Andreas(GTA), and that you unlock all the are before reaching %50 of finishing the game! But the graphics, music, cars(you CAN steal cars and bikes directly from the agency!), Missions, Weapons! and length is great!!! Worth 40 bucks, believe me. Though there's a small chance that you get bored before finishing the game.
What's great about it: The graphics, weapons, vehicles, new abilities!
What's not so great: The map is not even close to half of San Andreas.

The game itself is awesome but the disk just stopped working. Out XBOX is working fine because it plays other games, just not Grand Theft Auto IV.
What's great about it: Was fun while it lasted
What's not so great: It just stopped working. Nothing wrong with the XBOX because it plays other games. This one just cut out.

This game is great. It is suitable for the whole family. It is not as inapropriate as evryone says. You do not have to do the bad things, that is optional. The only thing you have to do is when you do the campain you may have to take care of some drug dealers. But who cares about drug dealers. They are bad people. In this game you are actually cleaning the streats of mean people. You have to do this with use of force, of couse. But, sometimes you dont achieve your goals without some force. Like, if you tried to talk to a person who was about to shoot you, you would be dead. But if you kicked the gun out of the person's hand and tackled him/her to the ground you would have a better chance. I'm just saying that all the bad things that they say are in this game are optional. It is also a very fun game. You can really do anything you want. You can fly a helicopter then jump out over water and emerge unharmed. Great game, do not imediatly think it is to inapropriate.

GTA IV is an amazing breakthrough in modern gaming! The environment of Liberty City has come to life! From the skyscrapers, to the vehicles, to the weapons, even the water flowing down the rivers have been graphically designed to perfection. The writers from the GTA franchise come through again! A whole new storyline brings a hard-edge and humorous adventure to the game! However, if you have an appreciation for extreme detail and customization in these games, it kind of takes a step backward from GTA SanAndres as far as customizing your cars and your personal style. Also there's no working out or learning new fight moves. But you can hide from the cops in the game which can be fun! I miss going to airports and flying planes like you could in SanAndreas. I think if they made a Grand Theft Auto: SanAndreas II for the modern consoles, and had all the features in the orginal plus the graphics of GTA 4, it would be the greatest game of all time!
What's great about it: Amazing graphics, great storylines
What's not so great: Missing some of those fun SanAndreas features
I would recommend this to a friend!

gta 4 is a great game but they missed out on a lot of things the previous games had. theres no mall which i enjoyed, flying and riding in airplanes, no multiple cities to visit and no dancing in clubs. sure watching tv and riding in a taxi are fun. dating and going bowling and playing pool and watching theatre comedy are great.
What's great about it: Graphics and the non stop action
What's not so great: No multiple cities, dancing

the graphics in this game are incredible for a game in the GTA series. the game has very realistic things like flying through windshields and car crashes and various other aspects. the story line is only under 30 hour but the storyline is in depth and you even chose at some points what happens next. i recommend to anyone who enjoys GTA or just wants to play a fun easy game.
