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.

First off, i have a 60gb system and have NO problems with game play or freezing, and i've played a continuous 8hrs 13min 29sec according to ingame stats (some are just trying to find low points), and yes the game is huge (don't see how that can be a con like some post ?)
Rockstar has once again set the benchmark. The game is huge, if ya thought GTAIII was big and liked it, this will blow you away. New controls for almost all aspects of the game at first made me worried, but within minutes and the nice way the incorporate tutorials (not true tutorials) into the missions just added to my enjoyment. Driving has the biggest change as they have gone to a more real driving vs the arcade style (so no taking corners at 200mph everytime without flaw without some major skills). The LCPD take no guff, just bump a squad and your wanted. Plot line is outstanding, even the wife will sit and watch, as one major game critic said "it's like playing a Martin Scorsecee (sp?) film. Love the open game play as in previous GTA's and even that has been opened more. The Spc Ed with the bonuses just made it all that much better, and with the future showing good cause to believe the rumors of downloadable content coming ..they are already doing updates had to download one today (keep it up, make it the best possible).... well can't say enough, how can they ever top this with a GTA V"

What's great about it: non-linear play, graphics, plot/story-line, gameplay much much more
What's not so great: none for me, though some dislike the more realistic driving
I would recommend this to a friend!
