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: Amazing graphics, great storylines What's not so great: Missing some of those fun SanAndreas features
"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: Graphics and the non stop action What's not so great: No multiple cities, dancing
"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, storyline, realism What's not so great: nothing
"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."

What's great about it: This game never gets old with all of the options What's not so great: The map is a little repetative
"GTA 4 is one of the most fun games you will ever play. If one day you are in the mood for a challenge, even if you already beat the incredibly long (and amazing) story, then there are plenty of things to do. You can hunt down dangerous criminals, steal cars for money, or even become an assassin. But, if your in the mood for just having a little fun, then there are plenty of things for that too. You can drive around the city, go bowling with friends in the game, or go online just to screw around for a while. But no matter what you want in a game, GTA 4 has it, and it is definitely worth buying."

What's great about it: Deep story and charecter build-up, action-packed, lenghty campaign What's not so great: dont burn up yer xbox playin it all day! :)
"I won’t beat around the bush: Grand Theft Auto IV is the greatest game to come out for the Xbox 360 so far. I say that without reservation. It is a true evolution for the critically and commercially successful GTA series, not just a “next-gen” polish job of the same old game. But maybe even more importantly, it’s a new high water mark for video-game storytelling in general. This may sound like hyperbole, but it is deserved: GTA IV signals a moment in video-game history where it can no longer be denied that the medium can be as significant of an entertainment vehicle as the best that movies or television have to offer. GTA IV is sublime."

What's great about it: Graphics, Enviroment, Characters What's not so great: Story could've lasted a bit longer, Falling off a small ledge after climbing up it, Slo-mo deaths
"I'm a big fan of the GTA series. This game only made me more of a fan after being a bit let down by San Andreas.
First off, you can interact with nearly EVERYTHING in this city. You can pick up a brick and hurl it at an enemy, find numerous small alleyways with a fire escape you can run up, and find side missions with average people on the street.
The missions are very fun, and start you off small. And when I say small, I mean it! One mission involves throwing a brick through a window, haha. But eventually you get up to the big ones like bank heists, large drug deals and assassinations.
The theme of this game is centered around revenge, unlike trying to amass wealth, as is the central theme in most other GTA's. It also plays a part in some missions, where you have to decide whether or not your victim will die. You can choose to let them live and possibly interact with them later on in the game. This feature allows for even more replay-ability. I might start up a new game and change my paths this time.
The only drawbacks are: 1. If you're just goofing around and trying to die in amusing ways, the death camera lasts way too short thanks to it being in VERY slow motion (we all know you want to see Niko fly headfirst into a building and then land on a car on the street). 2. The story is pretty good, but it could've lasted longer. I felt like this was a quick story to get through. More filler characters than ones that help develop the story. 3. Whenever you hop up to a small ledge, you actually jump past it and fall to your death. I'd like to think Niko has a little better judgement than that.
So overall, despite a few minor drawbacks, this is a very good game. The M rating is well deserved, but who doesn't like that?!"

"The game is really fun to play. My brother had a copy with a scratch on it and my xbox wouldnt read it. Finally after several attempts i went to best buy and bought my own. After using it for a day i got the red rings of death meaning my xbox has officially died. Its your choice to take the risk, will it work or destroy your 300 dollar console, assuming you have the cheap one"
