 Amazing piece of work and a contender for the Game of the Year! May 1, 2008

The game is superb, i managed to get a go on my friends PS3. Highly recommended but by all means DO NOT buy this game off Clearance-Games here on Amazon. I have been waiting since Tuesday on release of the game and still have not recieved it! I dont think they understood the meaning of the word Pre-Order im so desperate to play properly :(.
GTA4 is the game GTA3 wants to be. January 4, 2008

I'm annoyed. Since May I've been playing this game. It's set in a huge, massively detailed city, full of characters, full of life. In the middle of the story is the most rounded and real character in video game history. A story that would put some Hollywood movies to shame. In gameplay terms there's nothing wrong with it, the targeting is tight and the driving is perfectly balanced. For a game of it's scale, the graphics are stunning, there is no pop up and the framerate is solid through out...even in the superb online mode.
Sounds great, what is this game...this game is Grand Theft Auto 4.
I'm annoyed because everyone except the people who've bought it, think it's a masterpiece. All I'm hearing is "You can't do what you can do in San Andreas!" or "After the story, there's nothing to do!". These are the same people who said 4 years ago "There's too much rubbish, in San Andreas". I ask you, how many of you have completed this game (or any of the others) 100%? Because I haven't and nor have most of the people who've bought it. There are a huge percentage of 360 owners slating this game, for not having anything to do, so you won't be buying the DLC then? This game is huge, even without the online.
Here's some news for people...San Andreas was (in many respects) an awful game, awful story, awful graphics, awful targeting and some awful moments of farce. But your nostalgia remembers this massive game where you flew around on jet packs and "Isn't it great to get lost in the million square miles of nothing?!". Getting fat is not what I want in a game.
The other thing I hear is "It's not as good as GTA3". So what in GTA3 can you do, that you can't do in GTA4? Is there "Most Wanted" or "Assassination" missions in GTA3? Can you fly, ride bikes, target, swim, can you see a car that's 100 yards up the road, can you watch a cop chase some random bloke down the street, can you turn a car over without it exploding, do the cars slowly burn from the engine block to the rims and then explode, making random people run around on fire, does it have the Euphoria Engine which makes every animation unique, is there auto save, can you play against 15 other players across the whole of Liberty City??? NO!!! Other than "Rampages" I'm struggling to find one thing that GTA3 has over GTA4...?
GTA4 is the game GTA3 wants to be.
Those who say that the game has nothing extra and it's not Next Gen, think of this. GTA2 had gangs and GTA3, a next gen game, did not. This is because when the next generation of console is released you get alot more video game newbies. So a video game series like GTA (that runs across generations) needs to be more of an introduction at the start of a new generation. So you can't be adding loads of stuff that could alienate and new fan base.
And as for it not being Next Gen...16 players fighting it out over the whole of Liberty City, that's just the very definition of Next Gen.
Next gen as it should be. September 22, 2008

I really don't understand why people are so unsatified with the new GTA. Its a bonified masterpiece. Its breathtaking and its how Next Gen games should be. Visually its amazing the first time you step out into liberty city and look ate the secnery its one of those rare videogame moments you never forget. See Mario 64, The ocarina of time, MGS and of course GTA3. Yes ok essentially its the same format as all the games in the 3-D series but it is so improved. The shooting is much better with quickfire aiming of various targets. The driving feels more realistic and fluid. And of course the story is What GTA was crying out for, a realistic outlook on life as it is dark ,sometimes disturbing and often very dark humored.
In comparrison to GTA san andreas which was a shocking black explotation of how a culture is portrayed. GTA4's story is brave and honest. GTA 4 feels like a city it breathes, which GTA san andreas NEVER did!
The involvement in other chacters lives you are able to influence is what really makes it stand out. Socialise and understand your friends makes this game more in depth than and of the series.
Best game ever made? April 26, 2008
42 out of 63 found this review helpful
Well, what can I say, after a 6 month delay the game is finally here. When I first put the game into my PS3, the intro loaded and I was in the city. From the get go, the game ooozes quality and detail. Every single part of the game is full of detail, there's so much to look at and take in. The city is absolutely breathtaking, you have never seen anything like it in a game before. Peds walk around the streets doing their own thing, you hardly ever see the same looking person twice, the sun shines down onto the streets and vehicles and the sounds make you feel like you're really in the city.
I played both the PS3 version and 360 version and I have to say that the PS3 version really does have the edge when it comes to the graphics. It's much sharper and clearer and more realistic looking with less bugs. Also there is more going on in the PS3 version, you notice more peds in the street, more vehicles and better lighting. That being said, the game is still really awesome on both consoles, it just looks better on PS3.
There is so much to do in the game you will never get bored, you can be on it for hours and there is always something to do whether it's go to a club, take a girl on a date, pick up a prostitute, check out the city or just cause loads of trouble by attacking and shooting people. The animations and AI are heaps better than previous GTA games and I personally love the cover system.
I'll not spoil any of the plot but I will say that the voice acting is exceptional and the characters are really funny and colourful. This game has to be the best game this gen, it's truly remarkable and you would be crazy to miss out. Buy the game now! 10/10
Highs & Lows of GTA4 May 2, 2008
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
This game gets a 5 start rating because there is no game out there of the same calibre that is better than GTA4. Saints Row is way below GTA4, what else is out there ?
To all GTA fans lets assess GTA4 on its merits without prejudice. Will this game keep u playing for hours without turning it off ? Yes. Will it stay in your console for days, weeks and months on end ? YES. If your answers are yes, then it definitely is a great game. Let's look at the high and low points of this game.
Let me first start with the lows.
U can't buy, sell or own properties and businesses. The car handling takes a lot of getting used to. U cant drive in GTA4 like u did in all previous GTA series.
Would have been a plus if u could decide who u want to play as like in Saints Row. Playing as Niko Bellic is not bad but would have preferred to play as eg Tommy Vercetti, CJ from San Andreas or someone else of my choice.
Not been able to go to the gym and bulk up is a minus, loved the sight of CJ in Tank tops and t-shirts, made me feel like a bad guy. So far, don't have a safe house with a drive-in garage where I could store my own cars, all I have is residential parking and I'm at my second safe house.
I feel the hand to hand combat is too slow, I prefer the faster pace of the previous GTA games.
On the flip side, the highs make up for the lows:
U can now watch TV, buy food from lots of places, street vendors etc, u can get drunk and Niko starts finding it difficult to walk or drive, having a girlfriend is easier now, mobile phone, smashing car windows and hot-wiring cars to steal them.
Cars don't explode instantly anymore, Sat Nav, cover system, graphics, less cartoony characters, paying toll when crossing islands, calling a taxi to give u a ride, game can be played without cheats, there's music from all over the world, no loading screens between islands, u don't lose weapons when u die or get arrested. I lost control of the car while driving Badman during a mission, we fell in the river and had to swim clear of the car, in previous GTA games, it would have been game over, mission failed, in GTA4, badman just swam out with me, climbed up a cliff with me, jacked another car and we continued the mission. The cop chases now have a radar area and u can work out where the cops are and how to escape. The graphics are really good, take a sit back and look around u when u'r parked, walking or driving, the attention to detail is amazing especially when u play in HD.
Overall, it's not a bad game at all. They could have done better but they could have done much worse too.Eg the makers of need for speed went from being good to poor with the launch of Need for street Pro Street, they fixed something that wasn't broke. To those people that think GTA4 is not as good as some of its previous like Vice city and San Andreas, I think u need to play GTA4 then go back and play the previous ones. I played San Andreas recently and was amazed at how behind in time the graphics look. U won't appreciate GTA4 if u don't go back and look at the previous instalments.
My greatest disappointment with GTA4 is that I do not feel any sense of achievement so far, mainly because I'm just running about doing stuff for everyone but myself. If only I could be running my own business and making my own weekly money after building my own business, everything would have been perfect.
To the makers of GTA, please, when u have a good game and want to make it better, leave the things that were in place with the good one and just add more things and improvements to make a better one. Do not remove the things that made the previous game great. Eg, buying houses, own business; own my own mansion, run a crew, gyming to bulk up with muscles. If these had been in GTA4, the game would have owned the world.
