James Pikover reports:
''What is art? Is it what we define as beautiful, as adventurous, or simply what strikes an emotional connection with the viewer? For videogame critics, it's been a long and difficult road to find something worth considering as art. They are gems, which are hard to find and must be refined to make valuable. Grand Theft Auto IV is exactly that.
From the opening credits it's clear that this is no ordinary game. The highly cinematic introduction elicits a sense of professionalism, entertainment and familiarity that follows through the rest of the title at every twist and turn. From those credits alone one can determine exactly how the game will play out. Perhaps not the story, but the expression of life that emanates through the controller.''
