This is the best GTA made yet and there is sooooooo much to do. The graphics are great and the controls are superb. Yet it still can get a little repititive. Other than that this game is a great buy.
What's great about it: A lot to do and very expansive city
What's not so great: plays almost the same as other GTA's

GTA 4 is on my list of one of the best games, let alone one of the best GTA games. The graphics are good. The options you can choose in the game are quite exciting and the game never looses interest. If you are quite the gamer, this is a game for you.

Certainly, GTA IV is a great game. Virtually every aspect is solid, and most of it's pretty fun to play. However, the graphics could've been improved. More importantly, there still isn't the kind of immersive level of interactivity with the city environment that would've genuinely made the game feel like a virtual world. Without being able to interact with more of the objects, machines, buildings, people, etc., that populate the city, the overall experience ends up feeling a little shallow, after a while. At the very least, more things should have been destructible.
What's great about it: Good implementation of franchise's formula.
What's not so great: Really didn't raise bar high enough.

With the many things you can do in the game and also the hours you can spend playing multiplayer it is worth picking up. The gameplay is so much better than its previous series. I recommend picking up this game to anyone who likes free roam games.
What's great about it: Free roaming map with no load times when going to any part of the city.
What's not so great: Cant play customized music from harddrive.

The graphics are really good and the gameplay is fun. online play is really good, just like the game but with other ppl. unlike the older games, you cannot buy property and have it accumulate money. It is a toss up b/n buy and rent. It takes a long time to beat, and if you like the online play, get it. Mayber rent it first to be sure tho.
What's great about it: graphics, story, free roam, realism
What's not so great: limited weapons, cant buy property, realism

This game is totaly outstanding. The graphics are sharp, the game-play is smooth. I enjoy playing this game. Even after the game is complete, there is still hours of extra side-missions that can be played. With the many things you can do in the game and also the hours you can spend playing multiplayer it is worth picking up. The gameplay is so much better than its previous series. I recommend picking up this game to anyone who likes free roam games.
What's great about it: Very detailed environment Free roaming map with no load times when i go to any part of the city.
What's not so great: to many cops,,no customized music
