GameSpy: Grand Theft Auto IV Review - 'A modern-day masterpiece that could change the way the world views videogames'

GameSpy writes: "What is the American Dream? More specifically, what is your American Dream? Posing that question to a million people would likely net you a million unique answers, as the term (and the theory itself) means something different to everyone. Do you want a big house and a flashy car, or would a comfortable job and meaningful relationship do the trick? For some, just surviving on the mean streets while trying to keep their nose clean is enough. The very nature of the American Dream is the central theme in Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto IV, a gaming masterpiece that is a picture-perfect snapshot of the underworld of today's big cities. This is not only the finest title of the generation thus far, it is one of the best games of all-time."
