 Take Me Down to the Paradise City May 16, 2008
Probably one of the deepest, most colorful, most intuitive games I've ever played...yet, people still shoot the damn thing down for having either A) Bad Graphics (WHAT?) B) Bad Story (K?) C) It's too violent (I'LL BUY THAT). But otherwise, my personal reccommendation is this...if you are old enough, have the free time, and an interest in delving into a deep, sprawling action adventure/platform title, then at least rent the game and give her a spin. Believe the hype, only professionals and dorks give poor reviews to games that don't have anything wrong with them.
Excellent May 16, 2008
Ive been playing this game for a week and its great. Ive never been a fan of the GTA series, but I had to buy this 10/10 game (plus my hands hurt too much from Guitar Hero). It is really well made, character development is not only realistic, but fun and intriguing. This is definately one of the best released video games in history.
 Potential is there, but game did not pull through. Seems rushed. May 16, 2008

Let me say first off that I had alot of hope for this game, and expected it to be a lot more then what I was given.
If you've played games like Elder Scrolls Oblivion, or similar, you can understand how nice it is to be able to go into every building, interact with every NPC, and pretty much make the game your own.
Grand Theft Auto IV is like a big city, that is there just for show. It's a fake city, the people are useless, and you can only do stuff in designated areas along designated paths.
Where there could easily be implementation of strategic, role playing and adventure elements, there exists none at all.
Grand Theft Auto is a thriving city that has no purpose. Your money can only buy guns and clothes, which ends up being a useless commodity. I can understand if this was a game that came out last generation, and was not such a money maker, but for what it is, they could of made it sooo much better.
Imagine being able to go into EVERY building, interacting with NPCs and having a purpose to the game. I understand it's an action game, but to stick with only action when there is so much more potential at stake, I cannot understand.
You can only enter about 40 buildings in the whole game. Most of them are uselss, like eating to improve health or buying a gun, etc.
The game is fun and has its moments, but it could have been so much more and that's where the major disappointment lies.
Bethesda is making fallout 3, which will smoke this game. This game is all show and no substance. And the graphics aren't that good either.
Same Old with a Plus! May 16, 2008

GTA IV is a great installment in the GTA franchise. Defiantly worth the wait, GTA IV brings a brand new story to the next-gen consoles. But I don't think that it's worth all of the hype. It could have been more customizable, with better weapons (I mean come on, they've basically have been the same since Vice), and better vehicles (A car being the coolest vehicle in the game? Pretty sad). It is a good game, but it feels like I've played it already compared to Vice City and San Andreas.
Personally, I think they should have just used the same engine as San Andreas (with all of the customizable glory) and added new features that were in this game.
But there is one good thing out of this GTA game, MULTIPLAYER! The Xbox Live on this game is amazing, but does get boring at times. But still, the Multiplayer gave this review another star.
Graphics & Story are great! Needs serious work on the controls! May 15, 2008

I'm not real happy with the controls and on foot shooting/hitting mechanics, it's almost a real chore to play. However the graphics and satirical humor are at their best! Is it just me or does it seem that the GTA IV engine punishes (ie. police catch you more easily and kick the crap out of you one-on-one) more harshly for deviant behavior then past in GTA games.
