Epic.
Here is my video review as well.
When gta3 was released for the PS2 it took the top down sand-box, crime franchise to a whole new level making the game entirely 3d. Gta3 set the standard for the gta franchise and laid the foundation for the next gta's to come. 7 years later gta 4 has finally been released for on the next gen pS3 and Xbox360. Liberty city has had a epic makeover from the liberty city you knew in gta 3. It defiantly is way more detailed I has grown quite a bit and Every building in gta feels like it should be there and not just filler for the city. there is also many different pedestrians models and it is hard to see the same person twice on the same block. This has made gta4 feel like a real thriving city. The control of the main character Niko belic has changed somewhat in to a more realistic feel as well. Niko can also climb up many more things. The cars in gta also have a more realistic feel, but still have some arcade like moments. you can also get helicopters in the game and whether your taking a tour or just flying one around yourself they are a great way to see the city. Niko belic has got to be one of the greatest characters in any gta game. He is very likable and tends to be sarcastic all the time. there are other characters that are likable in the game as well In the game you will gain friends and to progress in the story line of gta4 you will have to do tasks for these people just like in any other gta game. You also have a cell phone which you can use to contact people to see if they have work for you or receive invitations for a night out on the town with one of your friends. some activates you can do are pool darts bar strip club or eating out. going out top the bar a getting drunk is actually very fun because niko will have a very hard time walking and driving. This time around there is no fire truck or ambulance but there is still vigilante and taxi missions. You yourself can also take a cab ride to anywhere in the city and this proves handy when want to get somewhere fast. Gta 4 also has online modes. 16 players can go head to had in games such as deathwatch racing types free mode and tons more. These matches can be very entertaining and was defiantly a great bonus to the amazing single player mode. Every time a new gta is released there are tons of new features included in the game and that is true with gta4,but the formula has stayed the same, but that is defiantly not a bad thing. Grand theft auto 4 altogether with the epic film-like single player story and crazy fun multiplayer it is a phenomenal package and is almost complete gaming perfection.
