Summary: Bad choices, terrible controls
Comment: The way GTA iv saves game progress is truly truly moronic. It is beyond tedious to, for instance in
one particular mission, be forced to drive across the entire city to get to a bank (where the
mission actually starts) rob the bank, take part in shoot-outs along the city streets and alley
ways, fight your way through the undergroud, race along the train tracks, emerge onto the streets
again, find a car, steal it to then make a getaway - WITH NOT ONE SINGLE SAVE!!

Fail
the mission and you start from the beginning again, and again, and again, doing that same stupid
drive, listening to the same morons in the car, telling you the same stupid story over and over!! If
this had happend once I would have forgiven it, but this happened far too often and just plain
ruined what should have been an enjoyable game, one I will not be completing.

And one
more thing, what's with the dreadful controls when in gunfights and this locking onto targets? There
are a million and one third-person and first-person shooters that have already sussed out how to do
this in a game but Rockstar seem incapable of working it out. Admittedly it's better in this game
than any other GTA game but the shooting part was almost completely broken in the previous
instalments.

It's astonishing that so much work was put into building Libertay City for
it to be ruined by such bad choices and terrible controls. What were they thinking?

Summary: Best game EVER
Comment: How can i sum up GTA IV in one word, AWESOME!

For starters it is the first time
Rockstar has ventured into Next Gen Territory with the GTA series, and this game proves what a next
gen adventure game should be.

Everything down to the very last speck of dirt on random
objects has been rendered perfectly.

Rockstar has hit the gold with this.
/>So don't even think of buying SSBB for the Wii, or everything else, GTA IV deserves a place in
your life.

Summary: A Near Perfect Game
Comment: This game is so close to perfect that you might be able to ignore its few tiny flaws (the gun cover
system, graphics up-close) and call it perfect anyway! This is simply the most engaging, fun,
beautiful and sublime game I have ever played! The main story alone can take between 30-40 hours to
complete if you really invest in it. After that you can spend hours exploring the huge city. Not to
mention the online multiplayer. Everyone simply has to play this game!!

Summary: bordering on art
Comment: I cant help but feel some people have missed what i consider two of the greatest elements of gta iv
which elevate to the top tier of gaming. Firstly, I felt it had a great cinematic feel to it. More
than any game i care to mention I became emotionally attached to the main protagonist. The plot is
solid and the way it is told is excellent. I have seen many movies with less than half of the
cinematography of this game. Secondly, the attention to detail. Yes, some elements have been removed
in comparison to previous incarnations of gta, but what they have left has been taken to what i can
describe as the end point (i cant see anybody bettering it). Take the tv for example, there is over
an hour of very funny stuff on there, the comedy shoes are excellent, the driving mechanic puts many
driving games to shame... the list goes on. If I was having an discussion whether or not games are
art I used to mention stylistic classics such as jet set radio, killer 7 or gameplay classics (list
could be a million). I genuinely feel this game is artistical and mechanical perfection. In my
humble opinion, the most riveting, exciting, compelling and addictive media based entertainment that
has ever been made. A must purchase.

Summary: Truth is simple about gta4. It's NOT cult.
Comment: You don't need anything more than that in this review.
You 'll play it, you'll like it, you
won't regret buy it, but my friend, when you are wondering what is it, that it lucks, this "je ne
sais pas", let me open your eyes, lonely friend, sitting in front of your giant HDTV.
/>IT IS NOT A CULT GAME. It's mainstream this one. After 5 years the world is not the shame. And
save some mormon/evangelist or the Mothers United, no one else is shocked or even at the least moved
by what the GTA is putting out there.

And it's not just the frame that has changed. />
The Soundtrack is not CULT.
Your character is NOT as CULT as it could be, given the
Serbian nature.
You don't get all the picko, and the pusi kurac you'd want from him. />There is not a good amount of Greeks. This context called for Greeks.
The Game is not CULT.
It's a mainstream, well made sandbox game. Nothing more than that unfortunately.
/>Doesn't mean it's not better than a WHOLE BUNCH of games out there.
Definitely worth buying,
playing, and re-playing.
Just not a classic. Certainly not a potato.

.NOT A
POTATO.
