A little glitchy, but stunning detail and fantastic gameplay overall December 19, 2008
I've enjoyed the GTA series since the old top-down days, and I thought it couldn't get any better than Vice City and San Andreas, but GTA IV takes it to new heights. This was my first next-gen gaming experience, as I bought an XBox 360 pretty much just so I could try this game. It's a bit glitchy, freezing from time to time (usually what I call a bedtime reminder) but I'm blinded by what all the game has to offer.

This game is boring, and the story is extremely shallow and disappointing.br /br /The point in the past of Grand Theft Auto was to do things that you would not normally do in real life. For example going out and just randomly blasting away, or driving down the sidewalks in a hummer just mowing people down. This wasn't necessarily taken away in GTA4, but I was less inclined to do things of this nature, because the rest of the game pushed realism so much. I don't know if this game was intended to be an extremely violent version of a life simulation of the first couple of weeks of an Eastern European immigrant into New York City, but that's what it ends up being. I'm quite sure that immigrants have a difficult time to say the least, but this approaches the subject in a cold manner. In fact it's quite disconcerting to me to play this game. The only relief in the game is about halfway through when you meet Kate, and in the end the game destroys that relief. The end of the game is so unspectacular that it leaves almost every player wondering if the game is really over.br /br /The environments of the game are incredibly detailed. If all you care about is seeing what New York looks like then rent this game and drive all over the city. It's beautiful to do, just don't watch Nico's animation, because it's atrocious. The Euphoria engine is used well when drinking is in effect, but that's simply because the screen is somewhat blurred by the drunk effect. When hit by a car the Euphoria engine takes over and it's abysmal at least 50% of the time. Also don't drive. GTA3, Vice City, and San Andreas all had similar driving styles, but GTA4 does not. The driving is more realistic, and makes some of the missions unbearably frustrating.br /br /My real issue with Grand Theft Auto 4 is that they attempted to make everything more realistic, except for the story. The entire idea of the GTA series(prior to GTA4) is to have an unrealistic world to jump into and do any of the dastardly deeds that you want to that are possible in the game.br /br /The game also gives you choices of whether or not to kill people, but they are only certain people in the game and your choices have no real outcome upon the story, or the game world for the most part.br /br /To be honest this is a beautiful rendering of New York City, but is extremely overrated in terms of gameplay, animation, style, and story.
A scaled down, but good installment for GTA December 8, 2008
I'm not a huge GTA fan, but I've enjoyed the last two games Vice City and San Andreas. This one was the best of the three, even though it was scaled back alot from San Andreas. GTA 4 had a better more realistic story, that was immersive and entertaining. The characters were fun and believable and well voice acted. The characters and radio station were also as humorous as ever. The animation and sound effects were good.br /This game still has plenty of roam free and do whatever you want elements to it. If you liked the previous versions you should enjoy this one.
Best game for Xbox 360 December 6, 2008

If you have liked the previous titles, this would beat your even high expectations!br /br /The graphics are super cool and almost real, if you are a New yorker, you will find it even easier to go around the city. This game is a complete package: story, thriller, action and dramabr /br /Enjoy!
