GTA IV is a perfect game. There is abolutely nothing wrong with it. When you play it you will get such high surges of adrenaline that you will nearly die from a heart attack because of how incredible the gameplay is! Driving down the road while shooting gangsters has never felt so rewarding and so exciting at the same time. You just want to keep doing it over and over while you explore the gigantic city with Niko.
The storyline is also very moving and convincing. You will absolutly cry at the end due to everyones incredible voice acting and the great graphics that render their faces so well. This immersion causes you to weant to replay the story at least 5 times before becoming slightly bored fo it but then you can just do one of the other millions of things that you can do in GTA!.
The graphics are the best graphics ever rendered on a game. Rockstar deserves credit for finally moving out of those bad graphics and creating the revolutionairy lighting system! Its incredible to, the light reflects off of everything including buildings and cars all in real time! Then there is the physics engine that rockstar created. It makes everyone more life like. Especially when you run someone over or blow them up. Rockstar really deserves credit for creating these two things along with the sandbox genre because it will push other games to create bad clones of their games *caugh*Saints row*oough*
Finally therw is the new online system. Rockstar has taken advantage of the internet to make it possible to play online with friends! I know it sounds impossible but Rockstar did it. Their revolutionairy online system will mark a new oevolution for other games but for now only GTA IV can do this. You can have infinite fun playing in Liberty city with your friends and its all thanks to rockstar.
Overall this games the the best game ever in more ways then one. If you dont like it then that too bad. Your missing out because gamers and crtics agree that this is a great game.
Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.
There’s never a bad time to relive its magic, and with rumours of a potential Grand Theft Auto IV remaster making the rounds, why wouldn’t you?
Not really
Overrated
Boring
Liberty City despite being a reimagined version for the HD era lacked any variety
Lacked the GTA fun charm overall
Niko was bland compared to past protagonists like Tommy, CJ or Victor
Like hell it is. San Andreas was far better, much more fun and a better game overall.
Nah, it's a masterpiece in attention to detail and the amount of immersive systems at play. But it really isn't very fun, ESPECIALLY when compared to the previous games in the series. Like tons of things are just wonky and actively kneecap lots of experimentation, or is just lame. Like why do I take huge damage when falling into water, why can I only stand in very specific large trucks when they are moving but not smaller trucks and vehicles, why is the melee combat such a massive down grade from GTA SA and GTA IV, why is the euphoria nowhere near as reactive, why is being drunk using a rasterized animation of staggering rather than the far more entertaining euphoria GTAIV and RDR used when you were drunk, why do npc vehicles barely react to you popping there tires even at high speed, etc etc.
I've always loved playing around in GTA games world. Like the campaigns are great but the majority of my time was always spent just playing in the open world. Yet GTAV is the only game in the series I never really returned to after beating it, it just lacks that fun factor the others have, I spent more time in GTA SA remastered than GTAV
It's one of my least favourite GTA games. It's clunky, the ai is exploitable, it's far too long and the writing is absolutely awful.
On the GTA 4 15th anniversary we look back at the Rockstar Games open-world opus and how GTA 4's radio stations showed Liberty City in a special light.
Insane rockstar hasn't remastered this gem. Still stuck on PS3 and 360. How is that even possible?
but as a person of brutal honesty, i must say, this is ridiculously WRONG!
GTA4 is not the best game ever, not perfect, and I promise you, most of us do not want to continuously drive down the road shooting gangsters over and over, especially with the crappy car physics.
Seriously, im not being a douche, i read it was your first review here, and i just wanted to give you some constructive criticism, and this just doesnt sound like it is a completely honest/unbiased review.
My review of your review: 5/10
sorry for being so harsh
I do not approve this review.
Graphics:8
sound:7
gameplay:7.5
fun factor:6 (nowhere near San andreas)
Online:6.5
it should be minimum 7/10 but with a screename like GTA IV...
yeah..
