This is one of the best games out for the PS3. I wouldn't say buy this for your kids, unless there stable, and can handle this violence, and language. GTA 4 is really the best open world games you can get. I mean all i can say is this is a Christmas present for anyone who doesn't know what to get for there buddy, just have to be 17 to buy it.
What's great about it: Intense Game play, lovly graphics, large maps, and amazing story
What's not so great: sometimes to easy, nothing to spend you hard earned money on not enough variety

Great game, just like the previous GTA's brining new ideas to the table and going with them. Internet capability is so fun with friends. You can just play w/ each other and run amuck.
What's great about it: Very fun, new multiplayer games
What's not so great: Seems unreal at times, too real at others

This game is really great but im still looking for more real life type game. Like you would have to go to the gas station to full up or running from the cop in a car and you run out of gas but other than that I cant wate for the next GTA to come out...

Grand Theft Auto IV is definatley a game you want to add to your collection, it has a great storyline that makes sense and has numerous tough decions in the story that decide which way the rest of the story will go. And the best part is you can start a new game and play the decisions differently to see the other outcomes. Its great buy this!!!!
What's great about it: great story line!
What's not so great: lots of tough decisions in the game.

I really enjoyed all the time I spent playing this game. The graphics were very realistic, but still "cartoony" enough to make me feel I was playing a game and not some weird mob simulator. The movement controls are great and intuitive, although the driving is sometimes hard to control. The only time the driving bothers me is when I am in a higher end sports car. I know that a junk car is supposed to drive poorly, but it seems as if the really nice cars drive even worse. It would be nice if the fast cars were actually good at cornering like an actual sports car would be.
The gameplay area is enormous which is great, but sometimes it takes a very long time to get to a destination. This isn't such a big deal unless you have to travel 10 minutes at the beginning of a mission...then if you fail, you have to spend 10 more boring minutes driving around. It would be nice to have a checkpoint after a certain point so I don't waste so much time just driving around. I guess that's a silly complaint for a game called Grand Theft Auto, but that's one thing that would cause me to quit playing for the night.
Multi-player is fun, but kind of confusing. The objective isn't always clear, and the gameplay area is a little too big for an online multiplayer. I would sometimes drive around for 10 minutes just to find the opponents. That really takes away from the action. Also, if you back out of a multi-player game, it takes you all the way to single player, then you have to restart multi-player which basically wastes 5 minutes of your time with all the absurd load times. This also brings to mind the fact that you have to start single player to start multiplayer. Why can't there be a menu that takes care of this? That would save tons of time.
In summary, the gameplay is awesome, the plot is great and really immerses you in the game, but there are some little quirks that really annoyed me. This is definitely worth playing.
What's great about it: Great story line, lots of things to do
What's not so great: Traveling the vast gameplay area gets boring, multiplayer is kind of confusing and sometimes hard to find a game
