I suddenly don't feel so bad about that $400 I spent... 0
Best Feature: Classic open ended GTA gameplay and style. Great story and characters. Long game, well worth the hefty $60 price tag. Fabulous presentation. THEY FINALLY FIXED THE GUNPLAY! Worst Feature: The social relationships become tiresome, even with the reward of special gifts from friends. (Especially when you don't like certain people) Radio could be better (and repeat less). Now by now, I'm sure you've all at least played a "Grand Theft Auto" game. And as such, I'm sure you know what yo...

What motivates you? 0
Well I'll tell you what motivates me, amazing games. As corny as that was, its true, and this game is nothing short of amazing. Not only is this by far the best game in the Grand Theft Auto series, its also my second favorite game to ever be released, and anyone who knows me knows that means a fair amount. The game-play here has been completely reworked, and is better than the previous games in every way. You still have the auto aim feature, but its uses much less awkward angles than before. Bet...

Hit & Miss 0
You came straight from Europe for a better life that your cousin Roman has been bragging about all these years until you realise it was all a lie. With reality hitting you, you work for your cousin who's part of a chain of criminals that always gets the short end of the stick when it comes to getting the goods. Little does Roman know you came to America for another reason for something that happened over 10 years ago. As always Grand Theft Auto is about being a freelance hitman in an opened worl...

GTA IV is a great game but it doesn't deserve a 5/5 0
So in GTA IV you take on the role of a Russian immigrant Niko Bellic. The game starts off with him getting off the boat to America. When he arrives he sees that his cousin Roman who said he was rich is in reality very poor and owes a lot of money. The whole game is just do jobs for people who will pay you money.Let's start with the good things with gta iv. It looks and sounds fantastic. The visuals are really great and every sound that you hear is just perfect. The visuals are great. The facial ...

Brilliant!!! 0
I bought a PS3 in preparation for MGS4 and GTA4 came bundled with it which I wasn't complaining about. I read various reviews about the game and thought that for the most part it was hype as I hadn't enjoyed the previous GTA games. The graphics and overall look of the game is very impressive. Liberty City actually looks like a real city with real people living there. However, in some of the cut scenes the graphics don't look quite so great but thats a minor point really. The story itself is ver...

More than a conventional video game, a lot more. 0
There is a point in Grand Theft Auto IV where the player guides the main character Nikko Belic, who is naturally clutching a sniper rifle as if it was an extension of his body, to the roof of a apartment building in Liberty City. Belic runs up a handful of interior stories of the building, and every wall, door, stair, trash bag and flickering fluorescent light is as realistically run down as they would be in a similar building in reality. Various apartments throughout the building blare music f...

The greatest GTA ever to come out ! 0
This is one of the best games ever to come out in a very long time and it's so bad ass it makes Oprah cry wolf ! Graphics: The city is magical and every thing around you seem to get to you. Especially the spoofs that are hidden within the in game advertising. Game play: Wow like a hell load of fun!! Like any GTA game very similar. However, they added some extra features like the behind the wall covering, breaking glass and high wiring a car, wearing a helmet when driving a bike(safety first!)...

A good game, just not a good GTA game 0
Review: Grand Theft Auto 4 (PS3) By Shift_andrew Introduction: I've been a fan of GTA ever since the third game came out on PS2. The cartoonish violence, ridiculous weapons and humor, open-world exploration, it was something we hadn't seen done in such detail before and it was great. I think San Andreas really perfected the formula with customization and new goofy elements like a jetpack and flying airplanes/parachuting, etc. So how does the next-gen GTA continue this tradition? Well...

Rockstar Have Done It Again 0
With a concept as simple as GTA's, it is a real wonder how Rockstar North are still capable of wowing gamers with each sequel. It has revolutionised the action adventure genre and innovated gaming itself to the point that there are even games that are now imitating it or almost copying it entirely (such as Saints Row). It does that once more with GTA IV, going all out with a stunning amount of activities and features, unmatched by any predecessor, imitator or complete clone before it. Yo...

Quite a fun game. 0
The Grand Theft Auto series has been through a lot over the last 10+ years. The series made it's debut with Grand Theft Auto for PC, which was a top-down view game. Then Grand Theft Auto III came out, which was the first one to be in 3D. Now here's Grand Theft Auto IV, which tweaks things from the Grand Theft Auto III era. The game takes place in Liberty City once again, but it's been revamped. You play as Niko Bellic.Some tweaks made in this game includes the new cop system, which you must get ...

GTA IV: NO PLEASURE JUNKIES ALLOWED 0
Coming up on three yeast since GTA IV was released, and folks.... this game is still the most relevant, deep, and satisfying game world ever created. RELEVENT: Since GTA III, this franchise has always been about pinpointing the feeling of an era while remaining current and relevent. GTA IV is more so than ever. Liberty City, like all American cities, is a post 9/11 world. There is obvious parody which is fine, and other games do parody, but GTA IV does the best kind of parody, it innundates you...

Daddy's back bitches, but is it a good thing? 0
Grand theft auto 4 is actually the 6th game in the long running and often innovative action series. It is the first game of the franchise to arrive on current generation consoles, after what seemed a long time since it's previews installment. Since then the series has had a little nap, but it returns big time. Upgraded visuals, an epic storyline and fine tuned mechanics are enough to warrant it a look. However it also cuts some features seen before, making the experience a fun and exp...

Pros:-Great visuals-A technical masterpiece-Good storyline and characters-Insane amount of gameplay and variety-Multiplayer is fun-Driving is solid-Solid combat systemCons:-Checkpoint system could be better-Not as expansive as past installments-Cover system is a little clunkyRockstar has done it again!

Kinda sad about PC version release outcome 0
I never thought Rockstar would do it but they really f***ed up this time. Lets get something clear from the start : the game has addicting gameplay and awesome story - everything previous GTA games had. Except that you can't run it on PC. Not unless you have a PC that belonged to the Almighty himself. OK hardware isn't so expensive these days, hell, it isn't even that pricy in my country but COME ON - MINIMUM : dual core 2 GHz ( really, i mean really ????) , 1.5 Gb ( i mean i have that much and...

Gigantic No-No! Stay away! 0
God awful PC port! It's mind-blowing that Rockstar let this out of the door. 1) Very poor interface. Clearly not tested with a _Mouse_.2) Performance hunger is pretty close to Crysis - but without looking good at all.3) It effectively forces you to install and use the Micro$ofts Games for Windows software to SAVE your game. (Yes, even when you buy it on steam) ..... WTF Gabe?!Seems like they just unloaded the 360 SDK from Visual Studio and let a intern work on it for a few weeks. While trading i...

A Step Back into the 'NextGen' 2
The very moment that encapsulates my opinion on GTA IV comes when I am on a heli-tour, cruising along the long stretch of a highway hugging the coastline with a beautiful sunset reflecting off of the ocean stretching to the far horizon. A beautiful sight to behold, so impressive that the Rockstar developer may have been compelled to include the feature of aerial sightseeing in the first place. There is no ulterior or snide tongue-in-cheek motives here; just pure technical wizardry that translate...

Best GTA to start with 1
Ah GTA. The stalwart if the British childhood. Ones of those things which you bought because you knew your parents wouldn’t want you to. And then showed to all your friends and laughed at the ones who couldn’t buy it because there parents actually gave a damn about what they were doing. I feel into the category of the non-GTA owners, so this is infact the first GTA i have ever owned. And what a GTA to start off with. IV took all the craziness of San Andreas and threw it towards the Saints Row de...

A truly addicting and wonderful adventure! 0
I waited this game for so long. And the wait was even longer till it finally came out on the PC. I don't have any of the consoles so I was hoping it finally came out for the PC like the other games in the series. This has probably been said like a million times before me by everyone else, but this GTA really is the best in the series. In my opinion the fact that Rockstar has taken a more realistic approach with this one is just great. The game is more realistic than its predecessors but thankful...

Underwhelming 2
I have been playing the GTA games for a very long time. I think everyone remembers the first time they played the very first GTA, being able to really do whatever you wanted in a goofy, top-down view world. We have come a long way since then. GTA 4 came out in '08 for consoles, but wasnt released on the PC until one year later, and it was a fun, if flawed experience. The initial impression, gameplay wise, was very positive for me. I very much enjoyed the first half of the game, being able to cru...

The PC version is an irritating and disappointing port 0
Before this game came out, Rockstar was one of the few developers that PC aficionados could always trust to provide the best possible content. Manhunt and the previous Grand Theft Auto games always put their best foot forward when it came to the PC version. In return for an extra six months of patience, you could play a game with better graphics and better controls. Sadly, that glorious trend has come to an end. Grand Theft Auto IV for the PC isn't just a lazy, substandard port with a few proble...

An example of Video Game Art. 0
Grand Theft Auto isn't usually known for its dark, themed stories. Its previous works have been satires of culture wrapped in homage, inventive wit and free-form sandbox fun.GTA4 takes the series into a more structured experience, and it takes it into the higher realm of art. No longer is it just satirising culture and being crazy, it's also giving you a real and mature story to work with wrapped in a compelling world, and it pulls it off, and this isn't hyperbole, better than any game before it...

Not all it's cracked up to be 0
Disclosure: I am writing this review in June 2015, just a little over 7 years after the game’s original release on April 28, 2008. In this review I am not granting the game mercies by forgiving it for its age because anybody reading this review is likely doing so because they are considering coming to game long after its release like I did. That being said, my review will mostly focus on the story and game play mechanics rather graphics and other technical aspects of the game.Grand Theft A...
