i just can't believe the issues with both the 360 and PS3 version. i own a $60 paper weight. if you can play the game without freezing issues then great for you; you'll have a tried and true recepie for a great game with next gen graphics and content. but if you're also one of the unlucky ones with lock-up issues pray they come out with a patch. . . . . a patch, wait. . . . am i playing a PC game. the advantage of having a console is to not have these types of issues and need patches. i want a "game" console, not a mini computer. i love what the 360 can do but at the end of day i bought it to play games. . . . games that work. severely frustrated and disappointed. . . . getting my money back and saving it for the sequel to Saints Row
What's great about it: huge immersive environment (if it doesnt freeze)

To put it simple this game should be called SIMS "Gangster", it is not much different from a SIMS game. If you put a gun in a Sims hand and made him cuss up a storm you have GTAIV. The game is fun but it requires little or no gaming skills. The driving experience is a total joke and far from real, cars bounce off walls like smash up kids game. Shooting is just plain stupid. If you are a fan of first person shooter games like COD4 & RBSV then you will be disappointed in this game. If you like the previous GTA games then you will love this one. It is definalty not worthy of the 10 score it has been given on game sites. 7.5-8 at best.
What's great about it: Huge environment, entertaining storyline, funny.
What's not so great: Driving experience is far from real, shooting is horrible.

I respect the people that give this game very good scores just that for me is just not that great i played like 5 hours and i simply don´t like it , the controls feel bad, graphics are not that good , music is good and story was building quite interesting but that is about it , i may be one of those few that dont like this type of games .
This game gets a 7.5 in my book
What's great about it: The MIssions are interesting and the game is lenghty
What's not so great: The game does not feel that good , graphics are meh

this is yet another GTA game comparable to past GTA games. the graphics are by far the best of the series and they did take a more realistic approach on driving, shooting than previous games. the game in my opinion was not worth the origional $60 price tag due to lack of diversions out side of the main mission unlike saints row. the game does support trophies which does add some replay value but there seems to be a few things lacking compared to the previous san andreas such as vehicle customization, working out to get bigger and stronger, the need to eat but not over eat. some of the features that made the last game stand out are missing which kind of takes away from the fun of it (working out was not fun, but getting bigger and dual wielding sawed off shot guns and making your car look different were neat aspects) they have dating in the game which is more of a pain than anything, dealing with all the personal relationships in the game to keep everyone happy. i personally found it annoying to have to stop game progress to take everyone out on a "date" so they continue to like you and give you their help/bonuses in the game. all in all they went forward in the series while taking a few steps back, maybe the next GTA game will hit the nail on the head (or score a bullseye for those who play darts in the game). they added dart, pool, and bowling as a diversion, the games are not great but it is something to do outside of the missions and they have trophies associated with them as well. all in all a good game for the $40 right now
What's great about it: its GTA
What's not so great: it needs to copy a little from saints row
