I will begin with "my" only draw back. Even though there were much more radio stations, I wasn't really feeling the music. That aside the game is amazing. It's replayablity ie. Darts, pool, bowling, etc. make the game several games in one. Using cover is vital to pitched gun play that make you feel the stress and desperation of being "pinned down". Just and amazing game that meets and exceeds standards across the board.

I remembered when GTA 3 first came out and when I got I loved it, then GTA: Vice City was released..... that game changed my world and from GTA: VC I actually found out what it was to be addicted to games (in a bad way) but when GTA: San Andreas was released it was just another game to me! so when GTA: IV was finally released I decided that I had to get it for my Xbox 360.
The day I received it I opened it up and popped it in.... and WOW I was blown away by everything the game had to offer! it felt like I was playing GTA: VC all over again! what a treat........... but I've got a job so not a lot of play time for me :( but lets just say that I can't wait for the weekends :)
GET THIS GAME!

Got to get it

The Time has finally come. The day I get to hold Grand Theft Auto 4 in my hands. It is a day that I have waited for. I pre ordered last year and was told it was pushed back. I didn't care really. I have other games to play. But today, none of those games matter. For today I shall review "the" game.

The game
First let me tell you some cool things in the game.
When you are given a mission, a yellow marker will show up on your map. There will also be a yellow line, going from you to the mission point. Let it be said that you do not have to flower the way of the marker. But if you chose to, it makes getting to your next goal fast and easy.
As your driving, at times 2 characters will talk. You can see them moving to the talking. This is just a little thing I noticed that made me feel that the designers didn't scimp out on anything.
There is steam coming out the the vents on the street. Again another little detail that makes you really want to thank the guys who made this game.

In one of the first missions you have to pick up two ladies. The voice acting is really bad for these girls. Well, I don't know if it is bad voice acting, or the way the girls are supposed to act. If it is not supposed to sound like that, then the voice acting for them is bad.
When you are driving around the city, you get a feeling of aww. It is so amazing to look at everything around you. Every little detail seems to have been taken care of. It is amazing

The controls... all I can say is WOW! At first I was driving a car and the controls were really good. Then I jumped out and stole an s.u.v. This was nothing at first. But after driving for a minute or so I realized just how awesome the car mechanics were. You could see the car bouncing up and down from the shocks. I just watched the car move along for a few seconds in awww. This will add an entire new part to the game. Getting different cars and seeing how they react to your driving. They drive as if you were playing a very well controlled racing game. I give the control a 5 out of 5.

You can skip through most of the cut scenes. The ones you can not, shouldn't bother you. It's really cool watching the story play out. A lot of the stuff is pretty funny if you really think about what they are saying.
The music seems pretty cool. This is one of the only things I thought they missed. It would have been great if you could add custom soundtracks. How cool would it be to fly down the highway while listening to a Willie Nelson tune?

The Game
This game gets old fast. I mean the city is HUGE. However, its not like you can go in all the buildings. Also, you can stand there and see the same cars pass over and over. Kind of like Truman on the Truman show. I mean this is just a game. I and we have seen it before. I would almost have given this a 3 out of 5 but it does have a lot of fun things and the graphics in the game are pretty good. So if you think you may want this game I say go rent it. Then if you like it buy it used and new off amazon. You can get it for a better price there.
Here is something to think about. This is also the reason I gave this game a 4 out of 5. If the graphics and controls in this game were not as good as they are, would this game be more than just average. I know that those two things add a lot to the game, but what I'm saying is, this is just like the other GTA games. Yes you can play online now, but the online part has it's flaws. This is a great game don't get me wrong. But when the time comes for the next GTA to come out, what will the team do to make it stand out from this on.

Ok...I need to state something...(3 1/2 stars)

This game is really fun. I think it's a great game to the series, but at the same time I do not think it's the best one overall. There are a lot of shortcomings that make me get very bored of this game that could have easily been prevented. First of all, I want to say that San Andreas was a better game. Go ahead, lash out I don't care. The things you can do in this game is more limited than the previous title. You can't fly planes, you can only fly helicopters (whoopity doo..) you can't jump out and parachute down, which to me was a lot of fun, and there are a lot of aspects like VERY limited choices of clothing, etc.. that could have been put in that would have made this game much better. You can't even own your own property, as in buying it like in previous titles! You just go through the story and end up at only like three different locations that you can save from. I also enjoyed the RPG-like way of how your character in San Andreas could be built up, in exercising and eating. Granted, the graphics are amazing, but there are flaws in the overall gameplay that have made this game collect dust on my shelf for a while now.

Pretty similar to the regular Grand Theft Auto games. I am the kind of person who likes to drive around and just run people over and steal cars in the game. When I actually do some of the challenges in the game it is really nice that they have something similar to GPS that leads you to where you need to go.

The vehicles are very realistic, but the recovery for turning at high rates of speed is not very good. I think in the earlier games it was a lot easier to operate your vehicle at any rate of speed.

All in all this game is pretty fun.

Its a good game, but not at the level GTA

All, ALL of the older GTA were better. It is a fun game to play, with better graphics than before. It just isn't as fun as Vice City, SA, or any of the old GTAs. The game goes by a lot faster, the story line okay at best, and the best vehicles suck!!! There are also a lot of bugs with the new graphics.

Disgusted with Amazon

I have written to amazon a billion times but no response. the game does not tell one if it is in PAL or NTSC & as a result i've bought a version not compatible with my gaming console. Neither am i able to return as I am not sure if it offers an alternative. Can someone please respond? Come on Amazon, I am a regular clientelle, the least I would expect is a response!!

GTA 4 is addicting! Had freezing issues. Amazon.com is amazing!

I can't wait to get home and play GTA 4. Such a well-rounded game and worth the purchase. I did have some of those freezing issues that some are having. However, Amazon.com didn't even hesitate and sent me another copy with 2-day shipping...I love Amazon.com If I have any problems with the new copy then I know Amazon will take care of it.
