Not what I expected at all April 30, 2008
8 out of 17 found this review helpful
First, I like most of you waited in line at midnight anticipating what I hoped for was going to be the greatest game ever. After playing for 10 hours all I can say is good thing we had good weather.
I have been a fan of the series since the start. GTA 3 and Vice City are 2 of the best games ever made, period. I liked the concept of San Andreas but the game freezing all the time made that one suck. Since hearing about GTA 4 and watching the demo's I thought this was going to get me back in the series full force but I cant say I am pleased.
I am very happy to be playing another Grand Theft Auto game. The new features like the cell phone and email bring the game up to date. The negatives however make me want to take the game out and go right back to COD 4.
Negatives;
Graphics!!! I did buy my game for the PS3 but it feels like I am playing it on a PS2. Maybe since playing COD 4 for the past 3-4 months I thought gamers could make games with the same quality graphics but GTA 4 doesn't even come close. The people are definitely not next generation. Not even close to anyone's standard. The buildings are a nice fix but it seems like they are way too dark.
Shooting!!! It seems like it is the exact same as GTA 3. Couldn't they have just copied or paid someone that made COD 4 to help out in this game.
Driving!!! Come on, driving is the worst thing about the game. I thought for sure they would have done something to make driving better but again, just disappointment. The best thing they did for driving was make Roman give you your personnel taxi or just simply calling for a taxi and skipping the driving altogether. Plus, WTF is up with trying to chase someone and if you get hit just a little your car ALWAYS LANDS THE EXACT OPPOSITE WAY! Also, is it just me or does it seems like the cars seem to drive right in to you while you're driving?
People, like me, are going to buy this game no matter what solely based on being GTA alum. So no matter what we say they will just have to see it for themselves. For now I will just play it and hope for the best. Unfortunately I do see myself back in the COD 4 swing of things very soon.

Really.. there isn't much of anything wrong with this game. I wont go so far as to say it's PERFECT but it takes a certain type of game to come close to that, and this is certainly it.
You really do feel like you're IN the world you're playing in here, and just to keep the review short and sweet-
Buy this game. It's a MUST have.
 Great fun....but not a technical marvel! April 29, 2008

Graphics: Slightly above average compared to other current-gen games(xbox360 and PS3) One of the biggest open world environments in videogames...they squeezed as much detail as they could into it, but there should be more(blu-ray coulda helped)(360 crippled it)
Gameplay: Great Fun....for a while. The combat system is about as deep as Tic-Tac-Toe, but hey that works for some people. If you've played a GTA game before you know what to expect.
Story: I'm not gonna give any spoilers....but it is well written(the VO work comes off as a bit corny, like previous GTAs). Expect the obligatory plot twist or two.
Replay Value: The multiplayer is the best part...Tons of cool modes to try out. (I would have liked to see some sort of Co-Op) There are better multi-player games out there though.(COD4)
After saying all that, I would still say it is one of the top 5 best games out for PS3...And it is a "must buy" for GTA fans :)
GTA4 is a Masterpiece April 29, 2008

This game is a masterpiece. Rumors have it that they spent 100 million dollars making this game, and it shows. The controls are perfect, the story is excellent, the gameplay is as good as it gets, and the graphics are both great and unique.
If you're an adult and you like fun, then you have to buy this game.
Definitely NOT a next gen game!!! April 29, 2008

Driving/fighting/shooting/running controls are sluggish and suck! Graphics are great, for a PS2 game. Radio is a waste of time and they should have had a c.d. player option to access the music on your hard drive... Should have had a 1st person view too! Couldn't connect at all with Online (neither could many friends) so I can't comment about the online function other than I CANT CONNECT!!! Frame rate gets choppy at times. Areas are too dark with no flashlight function. Camera angles suck! After playing Call Of Duty 4 this simply will not do... Now for the positives. Environment is huge and I positively want my money back...... Don't believe the hype! This game will sell a ton just like really crappy movies make money but it doesn't make it a quality product... I'm not a hater and after the hype I WANTED TO LOVE THIS GAME but I don't! Judge it for what it is and not what your being told it is!!! At this point in gaming I expect allot more..... Hopefully it will get me by till HAZE comes out!
