CalebPlaysSports, first off, GTA is amazing. And, you cant buy GTA IV on PS2, because it only comes out on the 360 or on the PS3, so i would recommend not to listen to CalebPlaysSports's reviews.
What's great about it: GRAND THEFT AUTO IS AMAZING
What's not so great: Rockstar sometimes puts glitches and games will freeze after about 6 months.

I bought my copy on opening night and it is unbelivable. The game is going to be the highest seller and highest reviewed game in the history of gaming. The amount of detail is incredible and the story is amazing. What are you waiting for?
What's great about it: Everything (graphics, audio, gameplay, multiplayer, etc.)

The small glitches and pop-ins referenced above in now way hampter the gaming experience brought forth by the guys and gals at Rockstar. They have produced one of gamings cornerstones for the future of open-world gameplay as well as written and artistically captured a great mix of dialogue, architecture and graphical beauty. GTA IV is one for the ages and it is worth it's weight in gold.
What's great about it: High Quality, Deep Multiplayer; Long and Enjoyable Single Player; Revolutionary Graphics and Physics for Open-World Game

If you are a fan of GTA, then I assume you already have this game. If you aren't familiar with the series (hard to believe but I'm sure there is a minority out there), you cannot go wrong with this title. In my opinion, if you only have one game you could by all year, this is the one. It is so entertaining to say the least, whether you go on a rampage, explore the city, or stay true to the story mode, there is not a second that passes without an interest in what you are doing with the game.
I really hope more games use the Euphoria physics engine as it makes the movements of the characters so realistic.
Do not have any doubts, just go pick it up if you haven't already.

I picked up GTA4 last night at the midnight release and had (between last night and this morning) about 3.5 hours to give it a try. Let me say, as a long time gamer, this is one of the best games I have played in a long long time. The story (so far) is rich and full of amusing characters. The control scheme is familiar (for those who have played the previous installments) and easy to pick up. The one issue I've had is the face that you have to watch the entire opening cinematic before you can jump in and play. I assume this is to give your console a chance to load the extremely expansive landscape that is Liberty City. The mission system is great, and all the missions seem to be unique in one way or another. They're not too hard, but they're not very easy either. Perfect for the casual sit down before work, or the long grind of a late night full of pizza and redbull. This game is DEFINATELY not for the young or easy offended. The language is real, and very graphic, the violence is brutal (including cop killing and other conterversial subjects), and there are continious references and instances of adult themed activities. If you are a parent, I would not reccomend this for your young children. BUT, if you are a gamer, or a fan of the serious, then you will be highly satisfied with the way the fourth installment of the series has turned out. If I could rate this between 1 and 10, I would give it a perfect 10.
What's great about it: Well written storyline, amazing graphics, gigantic environments.
