Grand Theft Auto 4 is GTA at its finest.
This game is definately going to be in the finals for game of the year. Now lets start, Grand Theft Auto had so much media hype and every kid from 12 to adults at 50 were exited for this game. Knowing how San Andreas was, we were all expecting a great game with a free world were u can do just about anything and its just extremely fun. The graphics in this game looks great, looking at this on a console was just mind blowing. Its very detailed, making killing cops and hi-jacking cars just that much funner. The storyline was also great. The sound in this game was also fun, very realistic but il really cut to the chase, the gameplay. In GTA we all love just to roam around, killing cops, hi-jacking cars, speeding on the highway, riding helecopters and running from the cops, hell, iv spent hundreds of hours playing San Andreas and still havnet beat the storyline =S. GTA 4 dose that all and makes it much funner. You just cant desribe all you can do and im not going to make a 9000 word essay describing it because my opinion is probably different than yours. My advice, Gamespots Advice, IGNs Advice, its a great game and if you like games like this, you should give it a try
My rating scale depends on the platform and genre its on. Since PC has much more awesome games on it, i mark much harder on it so a 80% on PC would mean its great compared to the hundreds of other awesome PC games of that genre, and might be better than a 98% of consoles. A great game is a great game, on the system.
I like to keep my reviews short and sweet, so i wont bore you and get to the point. If theres an official review out on Giant Bomb, you should definately read it because they are the best reviewers in the worlds! =D
