 Very good game if you are a GTA fan May 5, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Rockstar is back with GTA 4. I got this game on its release ordered through this site. So get it through here and you should get good shipping service depending on which option you choose. Anyways this game looks so much better than its coutnerparts. It doesn't look cartooney at all like GTA: SA. This game looks very realistic, so much that you will think you are there if you get too into the game. I am playing on a SD Tv and can't wait to play it on a HD TV with HDMI cables. The game physics have been improved too. There are good things and bad things that accompany this improvement. The good is that cars handle more realisticly. When turing at high rate of speed the cars body moves on the frame like a real car would. Car damage is very detaled here too. The bad part is if you get hit while on a motorcyle bye bye to that mission you have been working on if you fly too high into the air. There are lots of missions too. It has been reported there is 40-50 hours of gameplay is you just do all the mission and no free roam. If you get this game be ready to play for a few weeks maybe finish in a month if you are like me and want to take your time. Overall score give 5 out of 5 stars.

Just when I thought there could never be another game from the GTA series that would make me neglect my girlfriend and susbsequently lose her... YEP.. it's back! So goodbye girlfriend number 4!!! LOL. And helloooo Grand Theft Auto IV! It is absolutely the best game in the world!!!! I don't know how these people at Rockstar do this, but they have included everything you could ever want in a single video game! I mean, come on, what other game has a massive massive MASSIVE area to explore and interact with?.. to such an extent where you could actually be forgiven for forgetting about the actual plot and missions in the game! Put aside all the usual fantastic game play we have all got use to in GTA, and just get your head around the fact that you no longer just have radio stations to listen to during game play, you can also watch TV stations! Oh and that is not all, if you come across a computer within the game... wait for it... YOU CAN SERF THE NET!!!!????? I mean, I can't take this anymore, GTA has now officially taken over my life! Goodbye world and don't disturb me for at least a year coz I am fully hooked on GTA IV! :)
 Rockstar took the fun out of it. May 4, 2008

I guess I was expecting a whole lot more from this game. Yes, the graphics are quite a lot better than the other GTAs, but the game play has seriously suffered.
Driving: Flat out horrible controls, this is the worst part of the game, but should be the best. Hitting the handbrake just sends you into spins. No camera reset in this version like the previous games. So, when you're driving and you are turning around, you can't ever see what is in front of you.
Walking/Running: Controls are a bit clunky. You kind of veer and lean when going around corners.
GPS: Great addition to the game, makes finding your mission a lot easier.
Dark, dark, dark: Even at the highest brightness and contrast it's a little difficult to see. I can barely read the text messages on the phone as well.
Shooting: Much more difficult and less effective than previous versions. You used to be able to change targets and fire more efficiently. Doing that now is a bit awkward. Taking someone down with a pistol takes about six shots now as well.
Fighting/Melee: Quite difficult and slow.
Another great GTA game May 4, 2008

This game is another great GTA addition to the last ones. Of course the game isn't perfect and every game has problems. I didn't find my game to freeze a lot so I don't see what people are complaing about.
The game has a great story line to it and it's interesting and they finally put a multiplayer mode into GTA. I found that really great it gives you something more to do.
Overall I think it's a great game and if you're a GTA fan you deffinitely should get it.
Gameplay - 10/10
Graphics - 10/10
Sound Effects And Music - 10/10
Originality - 9/10
Challenge - 8/10

I'll give it 2 stars for great graphics and amazing acting, but nothing else is even worth bothering with.
You've seen every mission in the other GTA games, so what's the point? The only fun to be had with GTA4 is running over people, who now have ragdoll physics. In fact I'd recommend not even bothering with the main story, because you'll soon get 10 people calling you constantly wanting to go "hang out" and do boring stuff, and if you refuse, you'll lose like/respect points with them, so why even bother? It gets so boring so quickly - its back to Oblivion for me then.
