this is a good game butt im here to talk about the graphics!!! first off i read reveiws on here people saying the graphics look nothing like a ps2 game are those people retarded? we all agree the cut scenes in gta4 are the best graphics in the game!!! and if u remember playing god of war the cut scenes in the game was spectacular and its a ps2 game!!! my point is the god of war games equally or even betters the graphics in gta4!! and i bought my ps3 for next gen graphics and gta4 clearly doesnt deliver the graphics of next gen!!! this game would of been a masterpiece if it had next gen graphics!!!

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

Controls take getting use to...still a 10 though!!

I dont have as much experience as some others who posted reviews...I spent around 3-4 hours getting use to it, being as I got the game last night. (no thanks to amazon, still waiting on my copy from them so I bought mine from the local wal-mart...the usps is probably the one at fault so I wont point fingers, anyways)This game is nothing short of amazing!!I havent not even began to scratch the surface!I dont think this will ever get old, everytime its something different.When I first started out I was getting jumped by a couple guys, I managed to call the cops & they show up right away and hall them straight to jail!!I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys the gta series!

A Step Backwards

I have played this for a while now, and I'm bored I'm having to will myself to play it again to give it another chance. I have played all the GTA from the very first to this one, and yes it more real life but that's why I have a front door on my house I open it and there's real life.

Cons :
No value to exploring the city
Where are the paramedic missions
Where are the fire truck missions
Radio Stations are awful
No variety on the vigilante mission (gun this person down)
I haven't found a park car mission or RC mission yet
Stupid mini games to win over people
Pigeons
Driving the cars
What happened to the list of cars to steal; now you are told where and when.
Dating.
All but one missions I have done so far are gun this person down, or deliver this, no lets feed the mafia ice cream and blow the truck up

Pros:

Deciding whether to kill a person on a mission or not
Graphics are good but blurry
Gps good but you don't learn the city
New cop wanted system

I can't believe everyone is calling this a 10!

Let me start by saying I am a pretty big GTA fan, so I'm not lashing out against fanboys, as I was one myself. That said, I am completely amazed that so many people think this game is so great. It is far from it. It isn't the worst game I ever played, but it has the same game play problems that have plagued this series from the beginning. Chiefly... poor controls, terrible camera, and slow/jerky character movement. I swear all of these things are even worse in this installment that Vice City or San Andreas. When not running, Nico moves ridiculously slow; and walking or running on steps is horrendous. Lets not even talk about melee or shooting (if you can lock on to a target as advertised, I sure haven't found the secret). Rock Star could take some tips from third person shooters like Gears of War. I realize GTA isn't really a third person shooter, but there is no reason they couldn't make that piece smooth enough to be one. Combat is not fun in this game... it is down right annoying. The cell phone drives me insane. It rings constantly with inane chatter, and it is almost impossible to see depending on the background at the time. I have played with all of the video settings, and I still can't see the freakin' thing 90% of the time. There also isn't anything new here that is fun... unless you think watching TV, playing darts or pool, or going to a strip club inside a video game is fun. I personally don't. The story is somewhat engaging, but the rest of it is too boring to hold my interest. Yes, the graphics are breath taking, but at this point in the next gen game market, I expect this. It should be a given. Bottom line, there just isn't enough innovation in this first next gen GTA for my money. I played through about 40% of the game, and just couldn't take it anymore. I just lost interest. Save your $60 and rent it for a day instead. Better yet, play it for free at a friends.

Overall GTA IV is a winner!

I going to make a long story short and just come straight out and say the only thing that could have been better is the graphics. Other than that the game far exceeds expectations, I mean c'mon you can check your email, drive drunk, hail cabs, visit strip clubs and get lap dances, date multiple women, watch tv, play online, kill at will, check criminal records from the police computer inside the cop car, and the list goes on and on. Give the game a couple hours and it will be all you think about.

Not disappointed

I must admit anticipation was high for this one. Most of the time I am dissappointed but not this time. GTA4 delivers on every level. The telling aspect is the amount of minute detail you encounter in the environment. Some complain about handling of the vehicles...well I am all for the realism as it makes it that much more challenging.

Slight disappointment

If this was the first GTA I've played then I would be amazed and blown away. I just kinda felt bored after a few hours with this one. I never really had that feeling of "I can't wait to see what the next mission is" like in San Andreas. Instead I was almost thinking "I wonder how annoying and boring the next mission will be."

The positives are definitely the graphics, although they're not flawless like Uncharted. Getting hit by cars is a nice addition, and breaking the glass of locked cars is fairly cool as well. But.....

Niko's cousins accent gets really annoying really fast. It seems pointless to bother having the girlfriend. The combat system is annoying and slow. Why is it that every person you pull out of a car can fight like Mike Tyson? Are this many ordinary people professional boxers who are ready to throw down when being car jacked?? The police are waaaay too aware and quick to respond. I attacked some dude on the beach in the middle of nowhere and the cops were on me in 5 seconds...in New York? Please.

Why do you have to hold X to run? That's annoying because walking is soooo painfully slow. The driving cameras are frustrating and move without you doing anything. It's very difficult to see what's ahead of you because the camera continues to default behind your trunk. Getting continuously double and triple teamed by pedestrians was cool the first few times but quickly gets old when you're constantly being chased by an angry mob for jaywalking. I got knocked down by a car, then the driver gets out and starts hitting me along with two other guys. What's that about?? New York is a rough place but give me a break.

Overall, I think I've been spoiled by playing better PS3 games. Rockstar maybe lagging a bit behind the times here. It could also be that I'm generally bored with the premise of GTA seeing how I played San Andreas until I nearly crippled my hands. Oh well, hopefully number 5 will wow me again.

Eh... Its Not The Greatest...

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...

Good not a 10 though

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.
