This game is by far the best one yet in the GTA series. Rockstar has once again created one of the best games on the market, with it's cutting edge gameplay, fantastic missions and that extra edge that games should include in the times we live in now. I highly recommend this game if you are a fan of the GTA series or if you are looking for the game that has that extra edge.
What's great about it: The best game yet in the GTA series
What's not so great: You will not be able to put the controller down

This game is the epitamy of GTA games. It moves well, the graphics are quite good. I knew this was a must have once I decided on getting a PS3. I've had every GTA game that has come out, and this one was not a dissapointment. I enjoy the "different" story line, makes the game better than continuously playing the same one. Overall it is incredible!
What's great about it: Excellent gameplay! Incredible Story

Overal this is a fun game, but I got to say the controlling sucks big time!!! Aiming is horrible, movements are jerky; graphics however are the best so far in a GTA game, and it has cool mini games, like pool, darts and so on. The cars are fun to crash, and drive around. The story is good and the characters are ok. I think this game is a bit overrated and it surely does not live up to the hype, but it's a ok game. It's not worth the money though!! I think $30 is a fair price for this game. I'll give it four stars just because I like the series.

First thing that should be said about this game is: ITS NOT FOR KIDS! PERIOD!
Now. With that being said...
If you're a fan of the GTA series, then you're gonna love this game. It's a prettier, more expansive version of previous installments, with some of the control issues form the past addressed. The only real issue I have is with the camera, which sometimes makes chasing your target more difficult than it has to be. The gameplay itself rocks. You have carte blanche to do pretty much what you want, and it's all FUN!
What's great about it: Freedom to do pretty much anything
What's not so great: Some control issues, long load time, camera angles

this is the biggest gta yet. san andreas might have been bigger at scale, but this one looks and feels truly amazing and its still huge. i love the russian and italian mafia and stories based on them. this gta has the best story of all the gta's. in a few mission, you can choose the fate of a target. in a lot of missions, you choose wich boss to kill- this choice will determine some of the game's story. so, when you beat it, restart the game choosing every thing the opposite than what you did in the previous game. hint: when you have to kill either playboy or dwayne, kill playboy. you get his house and the gta 3 outfit. anyway, this is my alltime favorite game allongside nba 08. so go and buy it now. the city looks real, but the cutscenes look robotish and dull, but thats only a minor problem. niko bellic is without a doubt the best gta character yet. he was in a war, and hes really likeable, but he can get pretty mean ans vicious at some points. roman, his cousin, is hilarious and fat. i had to put the subtitles on just because of little jacob- and you still dont understand him. brucie cracks me up and is a steriod junkie- probably one of my favorite characters. packie, an irish psychopath, is pretty funny and likeable(on of my favorites). and all the mafia bosses are pretty believable. note: when doing a mission with packie, get the camera really close to him where you can see the inside of his head. there is a small box with a picture of a brain inside it. i guess that means hes an idiot or something. theres some pretty cool "departed" like twists in the game. and only having 94 missions, its pretty short. but youll be playin it for a long time. the lighting is perfect and the controls are pretty good. the aiming and driving takes some getting used to, though.
What's great about it: everything
What's not so great: cutscenes couldve been better

I really like this game. I think the story line is alot better than the previous Grand Theft Auto games. The storyline makes sense, rather than you just showing up one day like in Grand Theft Auto III and such. This game will definetely keep you going for a long time. It has lots and lots of missions. I've spent lots of time on the game and I'm still only about 50% done. The missions are a good mix of assassinations, car chases, and all out war. I also like the usage of SIXAXIS. Some games don't include it, but Grand Theft Auto IV does. You can use it to reload, drive bikes, drive hellicopters, and to participate in various merriments like bowling and darts. I think it was easy to get the hang of, but if you don't like it, you don't have to use it. I also like the things there are to do around town that you can do with your friends or with your date. There are things from comedy clubs, to strip clubs, from bars to retaurants, and from bowling to playing pool. Also, it is very realistic. The things that have improved realism are: graphics (improved alot), dialouge, weapons, damge taking and driving. The driving is a bit difficult at first, but is easy to get use to. Also, it sometimes gets really dark, but it can simply be solved by turning up the brightness. Also, the online mutliplayer is really fun. There are many different modes with many different variables: weapon sets, locations and amount of traffic. All these create endless fun and I think this game is great!
What's great about it: Great graphics, lots of things to do, plenty of missions, very realistic
What's not so great: Driving is a bit difficult, sometimes gets really dark

Overall great game! Good-looking interactive environments. The story (plot) is captivating and funny. The environments are much more detailed and specific compared to previous GTA versions. The only dissapointment I found were the sub-par graphics that reminded me so much of San Andreas. This didn't impress me one bit. But, without a doubt, this game is still a must have. Don't rent, buy it as soon as you can...it's addictive!
What's great about it: Gameplay, storyline, detailed environments
