Astounding! October 19, 2008
I just ordered my first xbox when the price dropped, and I got a half-dozen games at the same time. This is my huge favorite. I tried all the others, but now I never want to stop playing GTA4 to play the others.
It is very challenging. I must try most missions several times to succeed in them, and that is usually with tips/videos from the Internet.
Words of warning: The instructions are pretty weak and some times just plain wrong. (e.g.: Sniper rifle scope zoom is done with the left stick, not the right one as shown under Controls in the program.) That's why I often have to go online to get info about how to do things.
After popping $100 for a steering wheel, I was disappointed to learn that GTA4 doesn't support it, and driving with the joystick is far from easy, but eventually you get the hang of it, though it always remains awkward.
Words of advice I haven't seen elsewhere:
(1) You get around by jacking cars (hence the name), either parked or waiting at a light. Before jacking one, do a quick look around for cops. Sure, you can get away from them, but why waste the time? One of the most fun things in the game is trying out different rides. If you spot a limo, for example, follow it around until you get a chance to jack it. You can run the streets in dump trucks, armored cars, sports cars, SUVs, city busses, motorcycles, even forklifts.
(2) Drive like crazy unless you want to spend all your time sitting in traffic. The cops won't stop you for speeding, hitting cars/people/objects, etc. Other cars will usually try to avoid you.
(3) When being chased or chasing, don't go any faster than you usually do. The worst thing you can do is go too fast and crash, then the cops get you and/or the bad guys get away from you.
(4) You get money for each mission completed. Before starting a new mission, go to the firearms store and stock up, including body armor, then go back to your safehouse, stopping to eat if your green health bar is down. Once in your safehouse, head for the bed and you will be asked if you want to save. Save your current, fully-stocked status. You will probably bomb out of missions the first couple of times you try; the game lets you try again, but minus whatever weapons, ammo, armor, vehicles, etc., you lost. If you saved, you can instead easily start fresh and fully equipped by clicking Game-Load on the Pause menus.

This is the best looking GTA game ever. There is a ton of stuff to do in this game. Great story telling in this game. The controllers are very good in this game. Driving in this game can be a bit challenging at first since it is more realist than before since you will need to use your breaks to be able to make most turns. You can't make a turn driving at 90 MPH anymore.

By far one of the most satisfying buy ive had to date. This game definitely lives up to the hype. Its intensely fun and it looks absolutely beautiful.
To be ultra critical however there are a few flaws that need working out such as the motorcycle control. Its a bit floppy/loose; in other words its hard to maneuver through traffic (which is exactly why you'd want to use one). Also the missions they send you on aren't in a variety like in san andreas but its forgivable because of the addition of the multiplayer online.
Overall its a great game. Get it and make the city yours.
