GTA 4 is as good as all of those reviews say it is, but I thought I would throw out some of the negatives for people on the fence (it's easy to find a list of positives).The game is far less accessible than GTA games of the past, in my opinion. It takes a few hours to get your hands on weaponry, the majority of the city is locked off from the get-go, and the driving controls take some serious getting used to. I am a decent gamer, and play a ton of games in all genres, and I had to retry quite a few of the early missions due to some seriously tough vehicle handling. that's not to say that it's bad, but rather that you won't immediately be zipping around, pulling off perfect drifts and turns. The combat, however, controls brilliantly, and is a blast.So, basically, this game's amazing, but not without its flaws. If you get frustrated easily, it's still worth getting, just because there's so much "free play" stuff to do.

GTA IV offers amazing graphics, great story line, and tons to do.The amount of content in the game is simply astounding. I could write paragraphs praising the game, but I think I simply write my only minor complaint.My only real criticism is the sound track is not as good as other recent releases,.. The talk radio is very good, but the music leaves alot to be desired.

It's easy to be impressed by Liberty City. It's as close to New York City as any game has ever got. From the pedestrians that make up the neighborhood to the realistic design of the buildings. The weather changes and the days progress realistically. This is one of those games where you can just take it in and enjoy the scenery. In Grand Theft Auto you have the freedom to do what you want. This game is intended for adults. The language and content can be mature most of the time. Although that is at a parents discretion. I wouldn't suggest this game for everyone. Although I would suggest it for those who have enjoyed previous Grand Theft Auto games. I would also suggest it for those who enjoy mafia or crime movies. This game will have you sitting back and enjoying the incredible story. Just don't forget that it's your story to play.

the best game ever ! the game save is cool, no messing around,waitting to save it does it on its owen cool! keep the good games comming! sheree

I think I would like this game if I could play it. IF. The whole Ps3 system crashes/freezes when playing GTA4 so I haven't gotten past the first 15 minutes of play.Yes, I have a fully updated Ps3 and GTA4 online patches. Never had any other game freeze up any console ever. Totally unacceptable and no way to get my money back.Garbage! Stay away!

Can barely control the character. Cars wobble around the road like rowboats. Can't fight. Have to walk (run in slow motion) for 10 minutes at a time to get to the next mission (or usually to get back to the start of the mission that you have to repeat like 500 times). One tiny mistake and you have to repeat the entire 4 hour mission all over again, infinitely. Really stupid game. Wanna get laid? Go on Craigslist. Wanna play a fun game? Find something else.
