Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not worth it!
If your 12 years old it might be good, but then the language would not be appropiate.

Waste of money and time.

All the hoopla is why it sold not because of the (so called) game!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best game ever made.
OK. most of you reading this review are familiar with the previous installments of the series. So all I am going to do is touch on the points that make this game Soar above all of the previous ones.

1. The graphics. Of course we would expect this out of a 360 or PS3 as compared to the previous versions, but I should tell you exactly what makes it different. Wreckage. Far more realistic than before, the wrecks seem far more fluid, and realistic than before, If a wreck is pretty bad, the car just stops working, rather than bursting into flames, which is not very realistic. When you wreck into things, the damage that occurs is more realistic than before. For example in previous games running into bushes was like running into a wall, yet running into a light pole at a slow speed was quite destructive. Not the case here. When you run into a light pole something actually happens, the light goes off and live wires spark upon the street. (No, you can not get electricuted buy the wires, but still its pretty cool.) You will not just barrel over trees either.

2. Save points. Finally, after a mission is over it saves the game, no more running back to the "safehouse" and getting in trouble for something minor and ruining it all, that is a GREAT advantage of this game.

3. Losing a warning level over 2. It was really aggrevating that if you managed to get to a 2 level warning, you were done for, unless you made it to a safe house, now, there is a radar range meter that lets you know where to go and how far to go to start hiding from your warrant level. That is brilliant addition to the game.

4. Taking the taxi: If you dont feel like driving to your next mission, then dont, just take the taxi. While it is a little tricky to get in the taxi without truing to steal it, it can be done, and it is a great feature.

5. Going to the hospital: You dont lose your weapons. Also another great addition. No more going to the hospital and having to load the previous game to get back to where you were. Just take the Taxi and be on your way.

6. Realistic car handling/better "dash view". For most cars, instead of the old bumper view, which is hard to navigate around on, this view includes the hood and looks just like you are driving the car.

7. Body reaction to pain. there is no more just running out in front of a car to stop it...If you do that you will be run over and it looks very real, your body flys about in a random manner. (It does affect your health.) Also, there is no jogging down the street faster than a car is driving, if you miss your chance to take it, then too bad, better look for another.

8. Weapons and explosives: I cant say enough about how much better the sounds of explosions, and bullets firing sound. It is far more polished and realistic than any other installment.

In short, its the same game you are used to loving, just much more polished and realistic. Check out new york city vs GTA IV comparisions on google to see what I mean. There is a tremendous attention to detail in this game. So much that I think It would rival many major motion pictures.

Have fun my friends, its a helluva ride.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - GTA IV
Overall, this game is one of the best I have ever played. Unfortunately, you can't really replay it over and over again, but after you beat the game, you can still interact with LIberty City. Some of the missions you can't get by without cheating, but it is still a great game.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Unfortunately, it got overhyped
the pros:
-finally, GTA built for next gen systems
-impressive story development
-has that "epic" feel
-some of the eye rolling aspects of previous GTA games have been tweaked for a more realistic approach (cop interactions, driving)

cons:
-simply not as fun as the older games
-all those 10/10 and 5 star reviews got everyone overhyped
-sadly, not as good as "offshoots" like Vice City and San Andreas



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - waited a long time for it and it was worth it
this is the best game that i ever played, since i got it, i haven't stopped playing. i really like the graphics which are much better than the previous GTA. It's really cool to zip around the city. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes intense driving and shooting games.
