Good... While it Lasts!

Pros Cons
Engaging story Doesn't live up to expectations
Innovative concepts Repetitive gameplay
Fantastic multiplayer  

This game is so different from the other GTA games. I found myself actually caring if i killed somebody or if i let them lived. One of the downsides i have found with this game is that once you beat the game, their really is not a reason to replay. You know its there, and you want to play it, but you already know everything that has happened. Online play is great, as long as you have allot of friends on the PSN.

A Masterpiece!!!

Pros Cons
Just plain fun Braindead computer AI

Grand theft auto has evolved drastically over the years. First Gta 3, Then Gta vice city, then Gta San Andreas. Grand theft auto 4 is one of the best games that anyone can play. It will keep you entertained for a long time. The graphics are great. The game play is amazing. And you can play online!!!!! For anyone that is new to the series, TRY THIS GAME!!!! Simply One of the Best. But there is one bad thing the game can glitch allot.

good looking and fun!

Pros Cons
Addictive gameplay  

I loved this game. It is definitely my favorite GTA to date. I loved that Rockstar fixed the lousy controls from the older generation games. And being a New Yorker, there's nothing more fun than living out the dream of beating annoying tourists with baseball bats.

I can't wait for GTA V or GTA: Something City.

I will say though that I thought the ending sucked. But I did like that when you have to "make a choice" at one point, it's more like choosing your own character development.

Worst GTA to date.

Pros Cons
Awesome audio Poor storytelling
  Not enough content
  It's boooring
  Repetitive gameplay

Okay well like most people say about this game "It sucks." And i 100% agree with those people. GTA IV did NOT live up to the hype. San Andreas was so much better despite, IV having better graphics, and better physics. I'm talking about how GTA should've been folks! IV didn't have the following:
- Did not have different types of missions (not just shooting people)
- Missions weren't challenging at all!
- Did not have a grasping storyline
- Did not have a lot of weapons
- Did not have a lot of cheats
- Stunts were impossible
- Did not have "Mission Failed" etc. when you're done beating the mission.
- Did not say "Busted" or "Wasted" when you die or get arrested.
- Map was very small compare to SA. But i have to give credit. It really does look like NY.
- Did not have a lot vehicles.
-Lastly, IT WAS NOT CONTROVERSIAL AT ALL! THAT'S WHAT MAKES A GTA GAME AWESOME. IT HAS TO BE CONTROVERSIAL. LOL.

P.S: I've noticed that Rockstar omitted a lot of things in IV. Hmmmmm...maybe if it was a PS3 exclusive and took advantage of 50 GBs it would have been better? maybe? who knows?

good not great

Pros Cons
Just plain fun Doesn't live up to expectations

I like the game. Kickin' butt, stealing cars, shooting people, and blowin' things up are just hilarious in a game setting. Some content missing from this game that was included in the other games. The story was really boring to me and I hate to say that I haven't even played through that many missions. There isn't really anything that compels me to move forward except for the fact that I don't have many games for ps3 yet.

awesome GTA but still not as good as SA

Pros Cons
Addictive gameplay Not enough content
Just plain fun Doesn't live up to expectations

this was a good game no doubt, but the lack of content like airplanes and small weapons selection makes this game boring quickly. i played san andreas for 70 hours but played this for about 15.

  Braindead computer AI
  Lousy camera/viewpoint

I was hyped when it first came out, but i beat it in two days. the storyline was the worse of the series.they took everything from san andreas and disposed of it. gta4 was overrated, the only thing that is good about it is going around killing people.
