Best game of the series so far. Hard, gritty, violent, brutal and unforgiving. Play by the rules and be docile like lambs being led to the slaughter, or play it like you stole it, beat it, stab it, pummel it, shoot it, run down peds on your way to fame and glory. This game is NOT for the faint of heart or for the young or for those who walk the thin line between war and peace, it is all out war if that is what you prefer and peace?, peace is dead, who's next?. You will find gone all the little kiddy elements from games past, jet packs, parachutes, planes in every drive way, tanks, all that crap. Yes you still have have the occasional chopper, thankfully Nikko was in "A" war thus he knows the art of war mongering, and at best they are bland missions, or your only hopes of survival compared to previous releases. I can't say enough about the game yet at the same time i cannot say to much in respect to those who have not played it yet. Take it from me, a 50 year old gamer since the days of Pong, this is the one to own, to play, if you like more true to life games with realism such as explosions, water, cars, motorcycles, boats, damage modeling and atmosphere then you do not want to miss this game. Its fantastic on the Xbox 360 and its alright on the PS3, but anyway you slice it and which ever system you own quit holding out and JUST DO IT!, buy the dang thing you'll be glad you did. Also if you can afford it and can find it and you like these kind of things go for the Limited edition set, art book with concept drawings, audio c.d. with music from the game, a lock box, all metal (tin) by the way, to store it in and a Rock Star key chain with two keys to lock it up, it comes with a duffle to haul around your stash around in, and if you lucky a full sized Liberty City license plate, pretty cool. Outa sight, outa mind. Enjoy.

Kind of a bore-fest

Rockstar eliminated so many elements from previous GTA installments that I feel they took a step backward.
-driving is really goofy
-side missions like Pizza Boy, Taxi, Ambulance, and Firefighter are gone
-there is no bonus for getting all the secret packages
-you accumulate a lot of money but there is nothing to spend it on
-the vehicle list is significantly smaller
-there is no customization whatsoever... you get to pick from about three outfits
-no more tricking out your car... honestly, Saint's Row had a better vehicle storage system

badder and better

Another highvoltage GTA game, this game is great and fun. In this game you have more quility and different stuff like flying in a helicopter, setting a waypoint to trace your destination, have a girlfriend and take her out, and drive a jetmax while on water you could'nt do those stuff in the other GTA games. This game easily outshines the other GTA games with it's gameplay and performence and the grapic is great and real looking to. So to use a helicopter whenever you want just dial the code numbers in niko's cell phone and the numbers is 3595550100 and the helicopter will appear sweet uh... yeah i no. To get the GTA1V cheats type www. GTA1V cheats.com and there will be a list of GTA1V cheats to unlock a jetmax, gain more health, helicopter, remove stars from your star meter when the police are after you, gain police stars if your a maniac, change wheater, and weapons, the rest is in the GTA1V cheats. The story mode is fun not hard but fun, it can be a little pain but its not hard its really fun. This game is more experienced then the other GTA games with relistic grapics better view and different stuff like going in stores going out with your girlfriend and play bowling, going to the bar, and playing pool, and playing darts, a more high quility experienc then just steeleing cars fighting other people and shooting. So this game is fun and great.

I got this game because of the last GTA for the Xbox, I really enjoyed it so I pre-ordered this one from where I work. I'm very impressed by the graphics and I do agree that the car handing take some time to get use it but all in all I am really enjoy this game.

This product is way cool. The extras that it comes with are sweet, like the music cd; it is very entertaining, and the lock box is embossed and it is also matte black with a R* keychain inside. Actually, all of the stuff, apart from the License plate, is in the lock box. I used to be a Hloa 3 guy, now I've switched back to GTA. The physics and the player and NPC intactions are off the hook. The controller layaout is intuitive if youve played an xbox game before. My only beef is that he dosent get hungry, though you are going out alot, so he never needs to eat. I think that it would be a nice addition if he got hungry every day and you had to feed him. Other than that, it is a comical as any previous GTA game and realistic more so than any Sim game. Very well put togther.

Depending on how GOW2 and the new Guitar Hero do I am putting my vote in for GTA4 as Game of The Year!

Endless Replay Value, Limitless Environment

This game has only ONE thing wrong with it. And in an entire game, that's still worthy of a 5 star rating. What's that one thing? The camera controls while driving (and ONLY while driving) take a while to master, but it is masterable, so I'm not taking off a ton of points for it.

The story mode is fun, freemode is awesome and multiplayer is mindblowingly phenomenal. This is, by far, the best installment of Grand Theft Auto to date.

I'll just give GTAV a 3 star right now because I don't believe it could EVER live up to it's predecessor. You hear me Rockstar? You raised the bar. Now don't ever slip below it or you'll be like those one-good-album bands whom no one recalls the name of anything else they've made. GTAIV, however, has earned you a spot in the Gamer History Books. Well done.

simply amazing

just like vice city, but with more mafioso missions
more emphasis on boats and a little more difficult to find a helicopter
a must have for any college student
