One of the best sandbox games.
The GTA series has comeback again and better than ever.GTA 4 is easily the best one yet.And the best game this or any generation In my opinion.By that I mean in quality.This game is just almost perfect in every aspect.At first I wasent sure,but after weeks of playing the game, you can take it all in easy.I dont think any game has been of this quality,or even addictivness.
Graphics: The graphics are noticably 10,000 times better than the older GTA games.While San Andreas was preaty ugly,the graphics in GTA 4 are almost perfect.Some things are alittle bland looking like trees,but besides those things,everything is so detailed looking.No game has ever duplicated New York City like this one.If you have been to New York City,you can tell GTA 4 does the city justice.I really cant make any examples,becouse every street,building,ally,ect is perfectly detailed.Even the hookers are somewhat attactive.( I dont go to the strip clubs in the game just saying)You also got to take a helicopter ride around Mhanhatten at night,its sweet.
Gameplay:Compared to older GTA games,this one blows them out of the water.First off,the gunplay is so much more easier and effective.For example,San andreas had that boring automatic lock on.GTA 4 has 2 ways to aim.Free aim and auto lock on.Auto lock on also lets you shoot specific body parts.As for walking around,its alot more reaslistic.the physics engine helps make it so realstic.Say if you want to push someone around on the ground...well you can do that by litterly just walking on them.Its just so advanced you have to play it for yourself.Its so fun when cops grab onto your door and you can swerve around in your car to nock them off.Its the same thing with choppers.Also the vehicals are alot more fun to drive.The damage is compeltly realistic.Its not scipted or anything like that.You can do anything with your car.And the chopper can actually break into 2 peices.
Sound:Well theres only like 15 weapons.But,those weapons become very addicting becouse they are so fun to listen to and use.Basically the sound is just what you wanted.But my only major complaint about it(and the whole game)is the soundtrack.Sure theres a couple of good songs,but previouse GTA games had much much better soundtracks.
Overall: GTA 4 is a masterpeice.Pure and simple.
