Grand Theft Auto IV Greatest Hits Standard Edition - PlayStation 3
Grand Theft Auto IV Greatest Hits Standard Edition - PlayStation 3
What does the American Dream mean today? For Niko Bellic, fresh off the boat from Europe, it is the hope he can escape his past. For his cousin, Roman, it is the vision that together they can find fortune in Liberty City, gateway to the land of opportunity.As they slip into debt and are dragged into a criminal underworld by a series of shysters, thieves and sociopaths, they discover that the reality is very different from the dream. In a city that worships money and status, life is heaven for those who prosper and a living nightmare for those who don't. Developed by the superstar designers at Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto IV continues the exciting legacy of the Grand Theft Auto franchise.

Incredible graphics, storyline lacks
on March 26, 2009
Posted by: mdhunsche
from Fort Wayne, IN
Having played Vice City, San Andreas and all the stories I'm quite familiar with the GTA series. The graphics in 4 are as much of a leap over San Andreas as San Andreas' map size was over Vice City. Headlights actually work, buildings have actual detail to them, cars throw you out of the car if you slam into something to stop, all in all it's a HUGE jump.
The storyline however leaves a little to be desired. One of the nice parts about Vice and Andreas were the little side jobs such as the properties that generated money or gang territories. Here you have friends to keep you busy as a replacement. It's just not the same, not to mention you HAVE to turn on the subtitles to understand anything the rasta guy says, and for that matter, most of what anyone says. The accents are a little too heavy.
The addition of allowing players to "chose their fate" was a great bonus. Granted, it's only on a few jobs, but it does make you think rather than just kill.
Overall the game is great, it takes a while to get use to how they've changed ALL the controls, but once that happens the game is much more enjoyable. You will probably have to restart more than a few missions where you died trying to accelerate and hit the wrong button if you are use to the old GTA's.
What's great about it: Graphics are amazing
What's not so great: Storyline is lacking
I would recommend this to a friend!
