Grand Theft Auto IV
The smash hit that made free-roaming, open world games popular is back for a ninth installment in the form of Grand Theft Auto IV. For the first time ever, experience the series in stunning High Definition on your Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3!
The Story So Far
GTA IV takes you to a vastly upgraded Liberty City where you will follow European immigrant Nikolai "Niko" Bellic in his pursuit of the American Dream. Lured to the States by his shady cousin Roman, he quickly finds that things are not as he expected. As it turns out, Roman is heavily in debt to the wrong people, and Niko is now left to bail him out of trouble by any means necessary.
Truly Next-Generation
Traditionally, the GTA series has required the completion of fixed missions before advancing in the game. However, GTA IV adopts a format where the line between main and side missions is blurred. Niko is now armed with a cell phone and his phone could ring at any time. Who knows who or what will be on the other end?
Details, Details, Details
A fully customizable Niko means you will be able to pull up to a boutique, enter the shop, choose out your clothes, and purchase them just like in real life. Also, remember when carjacking was made easy? Well not anymore. In Grand Theft Auto IV, you will be asked to hotwire cars, meaning time is of the essence. One slip up could land you a night in the slammer. These are just some of the detailed improvements in gameplay for the latest installment of the game.
What Else Ya Got
Similar to Gears of War, a cover system has been added. The targeting system has been vastly improved over previous versions. Individual relationships are now dynamic, meaning your actions will greatly affected you relationships throughout the game. These are just a few of the ways this series will forever change how you feel about Grand Theft Auto.

4 of 5 This is no GTA III Wednesday, May 28, 2008
A Gamer from Santa Rosa, CA
Fun, as always. Gameplay is not as fun as GTA III or SA but it's still worth every penny. Phone rings too often, extremely poor braking on all vehicles makes game a lot more frustrating. Fewer cars to choose from. No planes? Really? WTH?
Graphics are fantastic and so far, the PS3 version has been flawless in rendering them. Had to turn up the brightness a lot in the game settings, but otherwise, stunning. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Breakthrough Graphics and Story, Same Gameplay Sunday, May 18, 2008
A Gamer from new york, ny
GTA4 has been the best game of the year so far. It has unmatched graphics on both systems (I prefer PS3) and the story is extremely compelling and innovative. The gameplay of course has not changed much from the other GTA games, as most of the time you are simply stealing cars and shooting people, as expected. The addition to the PS3 version is that you can control the motorcycle, helicopter , bowling, darts, and other objects, using the six-axis feature (obviously absent in the Xbox 360 version). The choices you make as to who to kill and be-friend will dynamically affect the story as it progresses. The one downfall is that most people believe the Xbox 360 version to have a more extensive online feature.
All in All I would give the game a 9 out of 10 solely based on everyones expectations of "Next-Gen". When placed up against any other games of its type, or any games for that matter, I would say that this receives a perfect 10. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY GAMER WITH PS3 OR 360! (well the ones 18 or over anyways) Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Awesome Saturday, May 17, 2008
Paul from AZ
This game is great. Better strippers, better hookers, and the transition between game play and cut scenes is spot on. Get this game and enjoy. Was this review helpful?
3 of 5 Not my cup of tea Saturday, May 17, 2008
mao from Long Island, NY
Call me crazy but I don't particularly enjoy gameplay, it's not fun, I spend so much finding my way around the city, half the time i'm lost. I must admit i'm new to the GTA family never had any prior experience with the game. Not crazy about it at all. It's just not enjoyable, UNCHARTED DRAKE'S FORTUNE is a FUN Exciting game full of surprises, check it out, give it a try. Was this review helpful?
