    A lot has changed in the gaming world since Rockstar released GTA: San Andreas, the last entry in the incredibly successful and highly controversial Grand Theft Auto series. Read more

    • + Amazingly detailed game world, + Great sense of humor, + Wonderful cast of characters, + A ton of stuff to do and see, + Multiplayer is a blast
    • Some popin and framerate issues, Driving controls take some getting used to.

    “How can we advance the video game industry?” is a question that plagues many developers’ minds. Read more

    • Large cast of characters, Satisfying shootouts, Extremely well detailed city, Ambiguity of moral choices
    • Drags on a little bit, Some frame rate slowdown

    I was never a huge fan of the Grand Theft Auto series. The only one I sort of enjoyed being San Andreas , and I had mixed feeling about that one. However, due to an overwhelming critical response, and the return of the annual spring-summer gaming drought, I decided to give Grand Theft Auto IV ( GTA4 ) a chance. After finally completing it, my feelings toward GTA4 are a mixed bag. First off, the atmosphere was astonishing. Read more

    • The first few hours of story.
    • The driving.

    22 October 2011

    Grand Theft Auto IV (GTAIV) is easily the most widely acclaimed game of this console generation, having the highest Metacritic scores for any game on both the PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms, including perfect scores from IGN, GameSpot, Game Informer, G4 TV, 1Up and so forth. However, this is an occasion when critical acclaim does not directly translate into fun. Read more

    Overall, Grand Theft Auto IV is one of the best games ever made, with a single-player campaign that can take you around 25 hours to complete (depending on how you play it, of course). Improvements, particularly those made to combat and vehicle physics, make the game more accessible, more enjoyable and far more realistic than before. There's enough here to lure even the most demanding gamer. Read more

    • One of the most realistic and immersive urban environments ever seen in a video game, awesome story, seriously improved physics and graphics, compelling single-player,...
    • Cover mechanics don't always work the way they should, I've encountered a few odd clipping issues in certain obscure parts of Liberty City.

    This is my first "official" review, so let's get some things straight. I am not one of those reviewers who simply praise games because I am a fan of them. I do not favor certain companies over others. I am a well-rounded gamer, and rarely consider games to be "perfect." (10/10) However, Grand Theft Auto 4 is a game is beautiful, entertaining, and really shows gamers what the third generation systems are capable of. First of all, the story is amazing. Read more

  3. Better than Vice City

    Reviewer: Crawler, reviews.pcconnectionexpress.com

    Although Grand Theft Auto IV has a very slow start with mandatory "friend" missions which will get on your nerves after a while, it is still an amazing game. After you pass the first 10% of the story, the missions will become increasingly more exciting as you learn more and more about what is going on. At the same time each island will become unlocked adding to the story. Read more

    • incredible levels, very pretty, great physics
    • mandatory "friend" missions, slow start, small lag

    Just made me a bit upset I was not home when the mail ran so they left a slip in the mail box to go pick it up at the post office. They had it setup so I had to sign for it so unlike UPS they cant just drop it off for me. Read more

    • The game is fine works.. I had it on the PS3 got a 360 so I had to get this game I would miss it to much if I did not order it. Just dont ship it with egg saver..
    • I only gave it 4 eggs and not 5 only do to the time of shipping. I will not use egg saver anytime soon I put my order in on the 30th of OCT. Well, I did not know that ...
