 Eh... Its Not The Greatest... July 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I like the game I cant sit and play it for more than an hour without getting bored. The missions are a little boring, constantly calling people is annoying... I do like flying the helicopter in freemode and shoot people down. I am (ERICHOMER) so if you see me beware I am an airport hound... Also the graphics were jaggy and dotty, I have a 1080p tv I dont know what the game is running at but I wasnt impressed... Overall its a good game no doubt, but it falls short...
A great game with a few let downs July 1, 2008

This is by far one of the best GTA's out there, and certainly one of the best video games. The plot is incredible: it is so well written and engaging that it makes you want to finish the game, unlike other GTAs, just to know the ending. Gameplay is similar to the older games, although the shooting/targeting is better and the cars handle a little better. The attention to detail is astounding, to the point of having in game television shows and interent.
My only complaint is that some of the game elements feel tacked on because people wanted it, but the developers didn't care to apply the attention to detail found in other points of the game. Examples are the clothing stores and TV stations. There are only 4 stores in the entire game, and only one of them has glasses or hats. While this isn't a big deal, it's a pain when you go to change clothes and there are these two wasted categories that you have to skip over every time, since each one only has one or two items. The TV stations are full of satirical material, but its hard to change stations and is usually more frustrating than entertaining. The other thing is that there is a small number of safe houses across the city (4-5 depending on your mission choices) limiting the number of cars you can stash, but this is really minor.
Overall, it's a really fun game, but some parts of it just feel tacked on for missions in the story.
Good not a 10 though June 30, 2008

I will not make a very long review and just state some stuff. I bought this game expecting that it will do what san andreas did for games and it failed not miserably just failed. The graphics are the best thing about this game as you should have heard and the character of this game are very bare bone and saying that without any spoilers I didn't like the ending. Everything this game does san andreas did better except for the graphics, and I was kinda dissapointed. I bought this game and then later bought MGS4 and then I stopped thinking GTA4 was a great game just ok. The online plain out sucks and few people are online and considering how much this game sold that should tell you something. I recommend this game slightly since it was still kinda of fun and people who care more about graphics than the other stuff should give it a try.
Prettier, but not that great June 30, 2008

Ive played most of the GTA series on a variety of platforms, Ps1, Ps2, Psp, and now Ps3. I have always enjoyed them for what they are, a way to get out some frustration. GTA 4 I have to say, while it may be pretty and has more freedom, isnt as much fun. Ive only played a couple hours into it, but I havent found much of any secret stuff. No hidden packages, no secret missions or rampages, and barely any guns and body armor. So if you die, you have to go buy everything back and that gets expensive. Driving has gotten harder. The e-brake doesnt let you slide, it makes you spin. If you take a corner above a crawl, you end up doing doughnuts down the sidewalk. So I started to use the normal brake, but quickley found that you cant turn while braking. There are many things that have been improved upon, but not enough to compensate for the major problems like driving.
So to summarize, its a cool game, but gets frustrating pretty quick.

Grand Theft Auto 4 is one of the most popular and bestselling PS3 games out there. GTA 4 features almost everything you can imagine. The graphics are superb as well as the sound. Rockstar is still doing great. So don't hesitate to buy this perfect shooter game. Although this game is intended for teens at least 15 and older.
warning game contains: Nudity, Strong Sexual Content, Strong Language, Strong violence.
