In my opinion, Grand Theft Auto 4 for the Xbox 360 is the best video game to be released for any console in 2008. The graphics are extremely realistic, the cover and targeting systems are very helpful, the multiplayer gameplay on Xbox Live is lots of fun, and in general, the whole game is great - except for one thing: it takes a long time for different things to load. For example, when you first turn on your console, you have to watch a 1-2 minute video of different drawings of characters in the game, and then you have to wait another 1-2 minutes for the actual game to load! This gets very annoying after a while. But, everything else makes us for this, and that's why GTA 4 is the best video game for any console to be released in 2008.
What's great about it: Excitement, Challenge, Graphics, Length, Multiplayer, Story Mode, Gameplay, Weapons, Cover and Target Systems
What's not so great: Loading Pages Takes a Long Time
