Just like the other GTA games, this one is just plain fun. Graphics are obviously improved. Missions are still the same old "find this guy, shoot him" type. But the repetitiveness of the game can be overcome just by spending an hour running around and being destructive.
Tons of fun, no regret in buying it. $60 is a bit steep for console games, but I guess I have to get used to it.
What's great about it: Intense gameplay, good graphics,
What's not so great: Can feel repetitive sometimes

What more can I say about GTA4? It's an incredible game and very realistic. A great improvment from the last one. Graphics are a little more crisp on this than the Ps3 only when comparing them. If your debating on getting this game, just get it allready!

THIS GAME IS THE GAME OF YEAR. MAN THE GRAPHICS ARE SO REALISTC WHEN IT RAINS U CAR REALLY SLIDES IF U TAKE A SHARP TURN. ALSO WHEN YOU CRASH YOU SEE EVERYTHING TO SPARKS TO BLOOD. THERE IS SOOO MUCH TO DO LIKE CHILL WIT ROMAN OR GO ON A DATE AND TRY TO SCORE BIG. THE MISSIONS ARE INSANE. I BOUGHT THE GAME ON MAY 3RD AND I HAVENT STOP PLAYING IT. THE DRIVING IS A LITTLE HARD BUT YOU WILL GET IT AFTER YOU PLAY IT FOR A COUPLE MUNITES.

Welcome back to Liberty City GTA fans and welcome Niko Bellic. A Russian immigrant that is running away from his past, or is it because he is trying to find someone, or possibly his cousin Roman talked him into moving (I will leave that open to not spoil the game). Starting off I noticed the difference in the controls mechanics of the game. I little adjustment from the older versions but takes little to no time to get use to. I also noticed the difference in driving, controls as well as speed is a factor of the vehicle that you choose. Feeling more simulated in this version I find it to be a great add to this version. With the upgrade to the graphics it gave the new and improved Liberty City a real gritty humid feel to the game. I found that the size of the city as a bit much to handle at first but with the beauty of being able to call a cab it very helpful when you need to navigate through the city. I noticed a lack of labeling the map on this version of GTA (unlike the previous games which everything accessible was labeled). But calling up Roman or other friends, dates etc. you will find that the map will light up with locations. With the deep and detailed storyline and dialog you may find it easy to get sucked into Niko's world. But one thing I have always loved about the GTA series is the humor they add to the game. Take a few minutes away from the game and watch tv, or listen to citizen's phone calls, etc. You will find out that there are a lot of hidden surprises that will have you laughing from time to time. I do hear of issues of the game freezing up which forces the player to loose there current status. I personally have not experience this issue but can say hopefully Rockstar send a patch for download to stop that problem. While game play with the weapons are great I find it hard to get use to the hand to hand combat. there is a bit of lag between throwing punches and setting up combos but may not effect the gamer that likes to use weapons instead of hand to hand combat. But with the intense law enforcement added to GTA IV you may find that breaking the law and adding stars may get very frustrating. But with achievements like like three minutes with a four star rating that should give you a warning about messing with the police. I do strongly recommend this game to adults but give this message to parents planning on buying this for the little ones. Pay close attention to the game and what the seller is telling you about it and read the reasons for the M rating. With it's strong language and content you may not want your children exposed to this much. I still recommend the game over all but of you feel that this may do more than just be a game to your child than stand clear of this title.
What's great about it: Improved law enforcement, Controls, Graphics, Storyline
What's not so great: Size of the city, Hand to hand combat, Map legend
