 GTA4 is a Masterpiece April 29, 2008
6 out of 19 found this review helpful
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. br /br /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!
Much of the same. April 29, 2008

Anyone familiar with the previous Grand Theft Auto games will find much to like about this new title. Although the gameplay is very similar to that of the last edition, there are many small improvements that add up and contribute greatly to the overall experience of the game. Whereas the last game was clearly that--a game--this one has a more cinematic feel. From the opening scene that plays like the opening of a major film, to the amount of detail involved in traveling the city as a pedestrian and motor commuter, you are immersed in the the world of Grand Theft Auto like never before. br /br /Rather than simply running around and killing people (although you can do that, too) you walk around, take a cab, take the subway, your character gets drunk, you have to cultivate relationships with other characters, and you are given decisions about which course of action to take as the game progresses. Although I would not go as far as those reviewers who anticipated a game that would completely transform the industry, this increased amount of user involvement makes GTA IV an instant classic. And I haven't even tried online play yet!br /br /As far as faults go, the only one that I can find so far is that the graphics are not as good as other PS3 games. There is room for improvement in that respect, but considering all of the other factors involved in creating a dynamic environment that is a probably a compromise many are willing to make.br /br /Overall I'd say this is a great title that takes this style of gameplay to a whole new level, but it is not the transformative, world/industry changing title it has been hyped up to be.
 terrible graphics April 29, 2008

I don't understand where some people come to the conclusion that this game has good graphics.br /This game has terrible graphics. Are you blind? Look at all the aliasing. This game has no anti-aliasing, it looks horrible with all the jaggies.br /br /
GTA IV amazing game, slightly crippled due to XBOX 360 April 29, 2008
29 out of 44 found this review helpful
This game is EXCELLENT, I'd like to get that out of the way first.br /br /The game play is great, the graphics are decent, and all else is top notch.br /br /BUT, this game could have looked MUCH better if it didn't have to run on XBOX 360 also. The DVD-9 limitation of the 360 crippled what this game could have been.br /br /This game has maxed out at the 8.5GB mark, now picture what could have been possible with the entire 50GB of blu-ray and you'll see what I"m saying here.br /br /I'm not a PS3 fanboy, I actually own both systems, and have an equal amount of games for both systems. But a game like GTA should be free from limitations, and unfortunately the 360 put a major damper on this.br /br /Still an amazing buy and I highly recommend buying it for either system.
