Doesn't dissapoint

For starters it's a great game overall and if you like the rest of the GTA series then you won't be dissapointed, but if you hate knowing what you'll expect then don't buy it, simple. There was a perfect balance of difficulty in missions, some easy, some very hard. Trying to juggle all your dates, friends, and missions got a little annoying and Three Leaf Clover was an insanely exhausting mission. Don't let anyone under 16 ever look at this game....ever.

Overall you'll love it!!!!

What's great about it: If you like the series, you'll love this

What's not so great: a little choppy, controls are rough

I would recommend this to a friend!

Rockstars newest greatest hit

on January 27, 2010

First off, great game. The gun gameplay is good yet i wish it was easier to switch to manuel aim -.- The first play through is amazing but after you know what's going on it get's boring. The thing that GTA IV lack's is the freedom, yes you get the whole city to explore but there is hardly any shop's, you can't swim under-water, build up your stamina or some abb's, get tattoo's, haircut's...But whether or not that stuff was really all that important in San Andreas anyway i don't know :S A great game but could have been even better. 4/5.

What's great about it: Beautiful

What's not so great: Not better then the last one

I would recommend this to a friend!

Great game, especially for the price

Well, what can I say? GTA IV is essential to everyone's game collection. Me and my friend love to play this game, and infact, every time he comes over to my house he absolutely has to play the game. Both of us are able to sit infront of the television for hours just playing non-stop.

The overall gameplay is a breeze and keeps you occupied for hours on end, the new drive-by system and shooting configuration is a huge improvement over San Andreas, and the storyline hooks you with developed characters that make you love or regret certain pieces of the storyline.

There are a few things that made the game a little empty though. I feel the storyline was rushed a bit too much. There aren't many "legal" things to keep you entertained and actively playing.

The city seems to have a big hole in it as well. Being a New York City fan, I was hoping to see more specifics of the Broker-Dukes [Brooklyn-Queens] area; especially older neighborhoods like Bed-Stuy and Williamsburg; as well as more of suburban Queens. It seemed they chose to develop the Algonquin [Mahnattan] area though; much to my discontent.

But, I digress. While Liberty City didn't impress me much, the shooting system did. It was a pain on San Andreas to have to constantly crouch, roll and aim. The NPCs in San Andreas [non-player characters] were so static as well, and did not have dynamic shooting abilities or the nature to take cover. This was definately well improved in IV.

Once you start to play the game, you notice the graphics are well improved over San Andreas. The vehicles are much more detailed and accurate to their real life counterparts as well. Many great examples include the Emperor [De Ville], Coquette [Corvette], and Speedo [Astro Van]. The cartoony, off-sync cars are now replaced with accurately spawning, slow-moving traffic. Where cars are parked and where they drive is much improved; deterring the constant eyesore of every other vehicle being a lowrider or a low-rate sports car that was in San Andreas and Vice City.

Overall, GTA IV, even being released two years ago, is a look at what video games will present far in the future on late seventh and early eighth generation consoles. Besides the soon expected release of Mafia 2, I truly don't believe that any other game in this genre will surpass GTA IV in quality unless built on the same game engine by the same company.

What's great about it: Great graphics, good gameplay, controller configuration, SixAxis

What's not so great: Story should have been longer, Liberty City seems lacking, multiplayer isn't very player-friendly

I would recommend this to a friend!
