Review Add a Review A. Smith A Blast The fact that anyone could be disappointed with this title blows me away. It is EXACTLY what I hoped and expected it would be, which leaves me wondering- what did other people really expect? The ONLY reason this game has a 4 star rating as of this writing is because it was a victim of overhype from the start.
GTA IV is a ton of fun to play, pure and simple. I debated back and forth between this and Metal Gear Solid 4, and I do not regret my decision to buy a game instead of a digitally rendered film.
It's just like anything from Grand Theft Auto III and up: You get your kicks out of stealing a few cool cars, running over some pedestrians on purpose, hijacking police boats, and blowing up SWAT team trucks with a rocket launcher. If you enjoyed the other games, you are truly going to love this one. Not only are the graphics superb, but the depth of the characters goes beyond any previous GTA game. You become the main character, make decisions for him, live his life. It is morethan just a run-around shoot-em-up, though it can be that if you want it to. If you play the missions and follow the story, you will be impressed by the dialogue (I constantly laugh at the jokes made in this game) and the progression of "Niko" from nobody to somebody.
I almost let some of the bad Amazon reviews sway me away from buying this, and I'm so glad I didn't. Absolutely an A+ title- great graphics, huge world that you will easily get lost in, and most importantly, a heck of a lot of fun.
