Pros & Cons

  • new fighting system, radio shows, insane multiplayer battles, superb character, very good graphics
  • awkward controls, annoying radio stations, fun factor, online play, the online is flawless

This action game lets you follow the adventures of Niko Bellic, a war veteran from Bosnia. As with the other GTA games much game is fairly open.

The game features multiplayer and the possibility of downloading extra content exists.

GTA is usually one of the more brutal games on the market and this one is not an exception.

    19 Comments Where to begin? The first time I realised that the radio interference came from my in-game mobile, not my real one? That long chase the length of Fifth Avenue during a thunderstorm, thunder drowning out the Uzi as I weaved in and out of traffic while The Stooges blared on the radio? Setting up that first internet date - finding the right person, waiting for them to answer, finally arranging a meeting - only for it to go sour when I unloaded a shotgun into... Read more

    Buy it. Play it. Experience it. The hype has all been true. Grand Theft Auto IV is the single best game currently available on this generation of consoles. If any other title manages to beat this in terms of excitement, aesthetics, atmosphere, and story telling, then it deserves its own religion. Read more

    So overall, if you are of the proper age and have no problem with grasping that this is fiction and shouldn't be re-enacted on the streets of your town, then you should buy this game. It's the best example of the sandbox style of gameplay that GTA first started and the best thing that Rockstar have done, I can only hope that the next GTA is as large a jump as San Andreas to GTA IV was. As for the hype, some things do live up to everything said about them and Grand Theft... Read more

    So anyway, to the crux of the matter. Yes it’s violent, slightly sexy - even nasty at times and gratuitously so, but let’s all just remember it’s a just a GAME, and a game that you miss to your detriment as a rounded gamer and normal member of society. GTA IV is quite simply another masterful piece of escapism and entertainment from Rockstar. I expect that many, many drinks will go cold, and meals and appointments will be missed thanks to it. The stonking... Read more

    took out everything that was fun about san andreas and didn't really replace it with anything, also most of the missions are boring and repetitive. GTA 4 has an absolutely horrible story with a completely unlikable main character. also a really bad ending (or a lack of any ending at all) Read more

    I did several side tasks and achievements along the way and my time played was somewhere between 35 and 40 hours. You will definitely get your money's worth for this game. There are plenty of reviews out there so you don't need me to tell me how great the game is. Instead I will just list the things I loved and a few gripes I had: Liked So Much * There are yellow cabs all over Liberty City. You can hail a cab and hop in. The driver will take you to any point of interest... Read more

    the stoyline bored me 3-4 hours in, the driving is worse than most, the lock on system is terrible in multiplayer. if you dont enjoy using cheats / mowing down random civilians, probably not the game for you. Read more

    Fun: This review is from: Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360) (Video Game) This review is solely based on rediscovering GTA 4 after owning it for so long. I bought it when it first came out and loved it instantly. I have always found the GTA series to be a reliable source of hours of gameplay and incredibly crude humour and action. San Andreas was the pinnacle of this and GTA 4 needed to be something special. It has been over a year since I played this game last. I became... Read more
