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.

What's great about it: very easy to learn how to play, fun. What's not so great: the multiplayer is laggy, a little repetetive.
"First of, this game is definetaly worth buying. The campaign is always fun to beat just as the others in the series. GTA IV now offers multiplayer though. It is very fun to play with friends while roaming liberty city, but when you get online its a different story. If your in any match with more than 7 people (which always will be) you are bound to have lag. But do not let this turn you down, you can spend hours playing with friends in free mode. Overall the muliplayer was a risk RockStar took. Anyone who as any of the other games in this series should have this game, even if you dont have the other games in the series, this is definetaly worth buying."

What's great about it: The real world likeness What's not so great: Nothing
"This game should be the game of the year. So far. There are a few other games that are coming out that might just be the runner up. This game is not intended for kids. Very real and graphic. Just like all the other ones. I almost wanted to play through the story line again just because it was so fun. Definitely not the typical GTA where all you do is blow stuff up. Although you can just play through it like that if you want. One of the best games I have ever played!!"

What's great about it: Graphics, storyline, depth What's not so great: Driving, pace
"This version of GTA forgets that it's a video game and tries to make it too realistic. The game just doesnt have the same pace and excitement as the previous versions. It is still a great game and worth playing but I don't think it's a big improvement from the previous version."

What's great about it: Good story, nice cars, good music, good weapons What's not so great: Similar to all the previous games
"This was a fun game....so far the best out of the series. I finished the game without finishing all the missions......so I guess I can always go back and experience something new. I like the dual endings....."

"not worth all the excitment that was around it, you can enjoy the driving killing missions for only so long till its starts to get redundant not worth 60 bucks"

What's great about it: Excitement, Challenge, Graphics, Length, Multiplayer, Story Mode, Gameplay, Weapons, Cover and Target Systems What's not so great: Loading Pages Takes a Long Time
"In my opinion, Grand Theft Auto 4 for the Xbox 360 is the best video game to be released for any console in 2008. The graphics are extremely realistic, the cover and targeting systems are very helpful, the multiplayer gameplay on Xbox Live is lots of fun, and in general, the whole game is great - except for one thing: it takes a long time for different things to load. For example, when you first turn on your console, you have to watch a 1-2 minute video of different drawings of characters in the game, and then you have to wait another 1-2 minutes for the actual game to load! This gets very annoying after a while. But, everything else makes us for this, and that's why GTA 4 is the best video game for any console to be released in 2008."

What's great about it: Great story-mode, great multiplayer, easy-to-learn, length of the story is just right, fun and thrilling gameplay. What's not so great: Still can't go into every single building...!
"I purchased this game a couple of months ago, played through it twice, and have only good things to say about it!
The storyline is unlike any other storyline that I've seen in a game before. It's original, fun, and there are even some twists and turns that you'll come across throughout the game. There are MANY different characters that you'll meet throughout the story, and you'll even have a chance to kill some of them. Hehe.
The gameplay is fantastic. The driving is realistic, though this can prove to be a pain in the rear sometimes. The voice acting is astounding; you'll find yourself so immersed in the game, that you'll start thinking that you're IN Liberty City, which also looks extroadinary. There are tons of mini-games, such as going bowling and playing darts. (Niko's also able to obtain girlfriends within the game; some of them have special perks which can benefit you as you play!)
The variety of weapons, guns and melee weapons, isn't as broad as the previous 'Grand Theft Auto' titles, but this only makes the game more realistic. Of course, you still have the trusty ol' RPG that you can take down choppers with!
Overall, I give this game a 5/5, not because I'm following a trend of 5/5's, but because the game DESERVES that rating. It was well worth the wait to purchase this game, and I must say, it was probably the best $60 I've ever spent.
Trust me when I say this: If you go out and buy this game today, you will NOT be dissapointed."

What's great about it: Fun Missions/Freeplay What's not so great: 14ish + ONLY
"I never played the others very thoroughly but this one is a knockout. I really enjoy the free play where you can do whatever and whenever. I know its the mafia, but all the language is very unnecessary(It makes it awkward to play around kids, parents etc)."

"Fun fun fun game period. The game is awesome one player game and it never gets borring. If u get sick of doing the missions just goof around thats the fun it in you can almost do anything in the game. You can just go find secret places and even take cars,motorcycles,bikes whatever you can drive and have fun all over the city.
