 Great game May 1, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is one of the greatest games I've played (so far). I love all the games in the Grand Theft Auto series and this is the best one. The soundtrack is amazing and I love the fact that you can buy the music here on Amazon too (I've already got my soundtrack). The scripting and voice talent/acting is amazing too. You really feel like you're watching a movie sometimes. The driving is smooth and responsive, the weapons handle and sound great; although they can be frustrating at times when enemies come from behind you - but nothing that lessens your gameplay experience. Overall I love this game.
Grand Theft Auto IV Rocks! May 1, 2008

While visiting my friend out of state, GTA IV become available. Much to my surprise, it is not available for us poor suckers that only have a PS2. Luckily my friend has the PS3 and we went ahead and purchased it. We have been playing non-stop for the lat 48 hours. Overall this game is pretty decent.
With quick scene changes and a great storyline, this does hold the GTA fans interests. There is plenty to say about this game that we love but I do want to mention a few things that may turn you off. There are plenty of great reviews, so I wanted to bring a few things up to the possible purchaser.
The biggest thing we have heard through online forums is that the game has been freezing on about 50% of the people. It doesn't seem to matter if you have the PS version of Xbox. We have luckily not had this occur. Some people say it happen once and after reinstalling it went away, other have issues every 15 minutes. Looks like a hit and miss to me. Sony and Rockstar are looking into this matter as we speak.
The second issue is that some people have to compete the "Logging Online" mission before actually being able to play the multiplayer version. Are game forced us to play it but other friends did not. Not sure if there are different versions on this or not. People are having difficulties logging on and says it takes many times before being able to do it. The online experience is wonderful though once you are in there. Plenty of different missions to choose from which make it worth while.
You can not change your vehicle color and add rims like the older version. I do miss that but you really don't feel the need for it after awhile. The customization was something I missed but now I hardly think about it.
Okay, so there you have it. Overall game is great like I said before. Graphics are awesome and going in and out of buildings is flawless with no lag time. The only thing I can recommend for future version is please have the cops chase me after I blow a red light right in front of them! Now that would be sweet! Happy gaming everyone and I will see you online. ;o)
Simply Amazing May 1, 2008

I'm not going to waste time making an in-depth review, there are tons of them out there.
I'll just say, the graphics, physics, etc are absolutely amazing. The storyline itself is great. I've probably completed about 10-15 missions, and the way the game makes you feel like you're actually part of a complex and evolving plot is simply incredible.
Whether you liked past Grand Theft Auto games or not... this is a must buy.
Most of the reviews are spot on. May 1, 2008

I had heard the budget on this game was 100 million dollars and it pretty much shows. As you have read in previous reviews the graphics are fantastic, it really lends itself to putting you inside Nico.
For those who have some trouble driving, try "in car" view makes it as easy to drive as any race game on the consoles. One of the many high adrenlin rush's of this game is hitting your reverse and flooring it while being pursued by the cops, You forget it's a game and it the adrenlin really does pump.
Being only a very casual player of the previous games in the franchise I think was a real plus for me, because this was not the same old same old. I'm not really a fan of this genre, but I am now.
This review is for the casual gamer. The hardcore people are already hitting the streets of Liberty city. If your not sure this is your cup of tea then rent it and you will know by the first few mentions that this is a very special video game. Thankyou Rockstar!
 HIGHLY OVER-RATED!!! May 1, 2008

The terrible steering on the cars is back! Not to mention your character "runs" in snail mode. The fighting is the absolute worst, takes you about 2 minutes to knock your opponent out cold. This game is literally like playing unreleased missions of old Grand Theft Auto games. Instead of taking a step forward like they did with San Andreas, they took a step to the side and made another cliche Grand Theft Auto. Looks like the GTA series will finally meet its match when Saintsrow 2 comes out, not to mention the fact they stole the cellphone concept from Saintsrow.
