Customer Rating:
Summary: GTA IV exceeds expectations
Comment: This game has a lot of content on it that will keep you busy for many many many hours. GTA IV is without a doubt the best in the series. There is so much detail in Liberty city, you will constantly be amazed at how lively and realistic Liberty City looks. Gameplay is great and the plot is very interesting, which will keep you addicted and coming back for more. I still have yet to beat the game and I had it for a month! Maybe I should play more single player and less multiplayer. Yup, this game has many multiplayer options on Xbox Live, from deathmatches to races or even just free roaming. If you are old enough and have an Xbox 360, then GTA IV is a must-have!

Summary: The Hype Train runs over humanity once again.
Comment: Everyone knows what GTA is and what its supposed to be by now and whether they will buy it or attempt to condemn it to the gates of hell for all eternity, so I'm not going to try to convince anyone that GTA4 is trash or god's gift to man (and the religious references just keep on rolling. Sorry about that, religous nutjobs.)
It seems like everyone and their mother wants to put this game on a pedistal and say "look, society has finally created its own GOD!" So many perfect scores are being thrown to GTA 4, that Hello Kitty Roller Adventure is trying to get caught in the crossfire.
"So, Hunter, if every major game magazine is saying it's the most perfect game in the world, why should we think carefully before buying?"
Well, disembodied voice, two reasons.
One- Those magazines were pushing GTA 4's grrrrreat(!)ness since they had first heard about it, and were getting loads of advertising bucks from Rockstar and 2K for splattering GTA over their magazines. They weren't the most unbiased group of reviewers before they named GTA "Greatest Game In The Universe," and they certainly weren't unbiased during or after.
And Dos- I've finished GTA, and it's nowhere close to perfect. I was hooked on the storyline, Niko is actually a likeable character(which is a first for rockstar), the shooting is much better (though still very wonky), graphics are good looking, and the music is great, as usual.
But the problems are just as obvious. Everything gets old fast, and once you beat the storyline, there's not much left. After the final mission, you'll end up drifting around, going on stupid "make-me-happy" dates, realize how dull looking the city is, and end up starting killing sprees that end becoming formulaic and boring.
The reason is because there is just not enough to do. GTA's 3, Vice City, and San Andreas all had a bunch of fun little side quests and assorted gimmicks to keep people from getting stuck in the duldrums of driving around a drab cityscape. GTA 4 skimps out on a lot of that. Rockstar expects that people are going to instead play multiplayer, but with horrible servers, incredible lag, and some of the most annoying people to have ever been born playing online, I'm not sure how well that'll work out in the long run.
That said, you should still consider getting GTA 4. I did like it, it's just that I probably won't play it that much anymore, at least until the downloadable content shows up. I would suggest getting another game for after you finish, though.
