Wow!
Well, I was really disappointed with this game at first, I thought it was kinda boring, and then I got into It and I love it. This is GTA realized from the dreams of a millions of GTA fans. The story line is even a little less chessier. Niko is actually interesting and the cutscenes and plot are pretty entertaining. The graphics really show off on 360 you can tell that you're xbox is a monster when it shows you what it can do graphically and gameplay wise. All the new cars are pretty and the paint shimmers on them in the digital sun. The driving mechanics are lacking pretty bad in comparison to previous GTA games, It's kinda hard to drive fast and stay in control any more (especially in corners) but its still nonetheless entertaining. The city is big, sprawling and alive with all types of digital people, i've yet to see all of it. The min-games are even better with the addition of darts, bowling,drinking (driving drunk is fun! In this game I mean) and Im glad to see pool is still there. It seems like they based the aiming and shooting system off of Gears of War which make it really fun to shoot undesirables. And now you can steal any car anywhere. If the door is locked Niko just busts the window and hotwires it. I'm still making my way through the beginning and I love it! Buy this game!

The quintessential GTA
This game is the jewel in the crown for Rockstar Games. I bought it for my son and let him finish all the missions first, of course, and now I sneak it while he's at school and have a blast. It's got a great storyline with different endings. It's pretty linear but you never feel forced or boxed into following a set path as you can always go off on a side tangent and have fun and forget the missions for a while.
I highly recommend it for everyone, except younger children as it can be pretty bloody, graphic, and profane. But that's what makes it so fun for the rest of us.

Simply Amazing
I'll keep it short.
The franchise has improved upon every subsequent release and it has gotten to the point where this game is so amazing that I have dreams about it.
It's gigantic, beautiful, incredibly detailed, has a great story, is incredibly realistic, ... the list goes on.
If you're a GTA fan, it's a must buy, if you're considering buying it, BUY IT! If you're not considering it, why are you reading this review?

One of the most engaging and entertaining games available
I was never a huge fan of the GTA series but I knew that the this one was going to blow everyone away... and it certainly did. Beginning with the 1997 release of the original Grand Theft Auto, the GTA series has been one of the most prolific, controversial and down right entertaining franchises in video games history. First of all GTA 4 is fantastic full of mouth watering visuals down to the weeds growing in the cracks in the sidewalk, cars and buildings of all heights and the unbelievable NPCs who are intelligent, modern, human representations that laugh, cry, eat, drink, use cell phones and ATMs, and talking amongst themselves regardless of Niko's interaction with them. However the subject that really stands out is the gameplay with massive improvements since the previous one with an improve combat system and modern features such as a mobile phone which runs the show and a social where you can have a girlfriend. With players experiencing entirely new and exciting emphasis centered on the blending of on-mission and off-mission play, resulting in an increased sense of realism and more interesting and unrestricted gameplay.
An outstanding and a first to the GTA franchise is the new multiplayer modes allowing you to play online in competitive, co-op, and free form modes. Competitive mode has you fighting against the cops, jacking cars, or racing to finish odd jobs.
GTA 4 others so much more to the series than ever before with a polished story line with a slick script, detailed world of the modern New York City, releastic social life full of gentleman's clubs, comedy clubs, bowling alleys, and bars, which all house unique activities, an environment which you can interact with, with 4 islands to explore, plenty of side missions and of course a very entertaining multiplayer with plenty to do for several months or years to come. A must have for console owners.
