What is so good about this game? The cars all drive like an early 90's Buick, the controls are crap, the main character is annoying (i doubt a woman would want to date a ruskie right off the boat), and the missions are repetitive.

Once again, I buy into hype and waste money in the process (Halo 3). 10 out of 10 my arse.

I agree!! I bought GTA IV even though I have never really been a huge GTA fan. It looked like a very fun game and was for the first 8 "catch this guy before he gets away" missions!!! I am so done with this game!!! Going back to Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank and CoD 4!!! HAZE is out soon as is MGS 4, so GTA IV is done as far as Im concerned!!

Ok lets see here i agree driving has been difficult but i have figured it out and its now awesome, the controls are actually pretty good but sometimes it does not let me shoot and i cant figure out why. For real its NY if a midget and mentally challenged peopel are getting some a guy like niko has a much beter chance. Repetitve gameplay i dont really see you have bike chases, snipe people, etc (dont want to go to far into it but its been pretty diverse, i mean you are a hired gun though what do you expect). Its a great game IMO but i have been a fan since 3 and if this is your first GTA then you probably just dont understand it.

You know that the song would have cost you only 99 cents on iTunes, right?

I'm sorry but I think that if a gamer buys a game $70 (or whatever the price he/she pays) out of hype or because he/she wants to hear a single tune, that person deserves to have wasted his/her money. It's just ridiculous. Next time, don't underestimate the power of rentals!

I agree, its a damn good game, but you cant start the crap you were able to in the last game. WHere are the cheats? Where is the chainsaw and katana, where are the cool stunt jumps? Ihave not6 even found ONE hooker- WTF?!

This is the first GTA game that I have actually gotten into (I've played others, but just really fooled around it them), and I have found it to be quite enjoyable. What you really have to do is mess around between missions, it lets you get on with the story, but you take a break every now and then. Or you could go online sometimes, which I have found to be very very fun. It seems that this game has gained a "Love or Hate" relatioinship with gamers. The game is very good, with lots of value and great production, but if you really just dont like the style of game it is, you are not going to like it. So I'm sorry to hear that you didnt enjoy GTA IV, but give it another go. I found it boring in the beginning, and now I cant keep my hands off of it, because Niko starts to become such a likeable character, and the situations that the Bellic's get into are sometimes gut wrenching, sometimes hilarious. So please, before you make up your mind, give it another go. :)

there is the cheats, your blind if you cannot find any stunt jumps on this game every few blocks is a dirt mound somewhere with a wood ramp to jump, hookers are everywhere but mostly at night in areas close to the strip club is alot and in the industrial areas. But look as you play the game becuase for you not to have seen these things yet is rediculous

Been a fan of the series but this one just hasn't done anything i expected it to do. Missions are the same old, oh noez he has escaped! track him down!!! They have polished everything to a t, well apart from the lighting which ive had to adjust. Story is boring. Part of the appeal of GTA before was the overblown writing and the war you could revel in the gangster role. With this i dont care. Its a video game, tell a story with a movie. Interactive mediums cant work as storytellers because every three minutes there is a pause in the storytelling and it becomes a game again.

some people just don't like certain games folks, it's a fact of life. i absolutely despised halo 3, but i adore gears of war. i don't like grand theft auto 4, but i love saints row. gta4 took a turn to the realistic side, and i must say it isn't as fun that way. and the graphics were not that good, def not deserving of a 10. the multiplayer might as well have been left off as much as it sucked. auto-aiming kills it for me cause some people don't allow free aim on mp. flying a helicopter wasn't as fun as i thought it would be. saints row 2 will be my sandbox genre fix unless the next gta really changes.

Yea, maybe the "sandbox" genre isnt for me... I disliked Saints Row too.

Its very boring and it blows. The worst thing is that you can't even trade it back in to get a decent amount of money back for it. My gamestop is only willing to give me $30 for it and I'm still might just trade it in and get persona 3 fes.

This game is good...but it could've been better, if it was a PS3 exclusve and it used the Blu-ray capacity and really tweaked with the Cell, we would've had the best game ever...

But this game is still very very good, Niko is my favorite GTA character yet.

Wow! Seems like theres a lot of who-ha about GTA4's "perfect" rating. I kinda expected it cuz I had my arguments on the game myself, but I try to play all spectrums of the games (hmm take that back I don't play sport games or racing games, but not my type of genres). I hate to say it, but GTA4 is not exactly the game I envision to get a rating of "perfect", but its only to be expected because GTA has a good running series that everyone, whether you like the game or not knows of this games existence. I've been playing them all, but I rented this GTA. I enjoyed it up to 3 and kinda saw it at a different point. In my opinion it don't deserve that score maybe a 7.7 in my case, but I only say that cause well, how can I put it, its kinda like Dynasty Warriors to me (same game just recycled). Don't get me wrong I like GTA, but its just getting a bit repetitve for me and I think I'm gonna have to retire this series from being played for me. Lately it just seems gaming is gonna have a rough incline on my free time cuz now the gaming generation is a bit heavy on shooters nowadays, we get the occaisional action adventure, and RPGs seems like a genre noone really wants to touch nowadays. Then theres the fact that all games are only multiplayer through online means, I don't have a problem playing with others online, but not all of my friends have online connectivity on their systems. Sometimes I want another person in the same room playing the same game that isn't just a shooter so that has my underwear all bunched up. But thats what my Wii is cool for. I'm, kinda missing those days of the SNES, PS1, & N64.

i love how the hardcore and fanboys of GTA are dissapointed with GTA IV.. and someone like me who really thought nothing special of the GTA franchise is actually loving it.. ha.. maybe now that its good and actually has a little depth to it people dont like it.. well the game is good.. and that girl dating the eatern european (he repeatedly says in the game he is not russian..) turns out to be *spoiler* DEA or something like that.. haven't found out yet.. been doing little missions for little jacob and brucie..

So you enjoy playing the "Oh NO!!! Get him before he gets away" mission over and over and over and over and over and over....you get the clue here!!! GTA IV would be much better with much less driving missions. They are lame and boring!!! I will agree the story and charater developement are top notch. The graphics are good but not great! Id give GTA IV about a 8.5 personally!!!

LOL, Great game, probably will play it twice. Possibly the best game in my mind to date, although it does take away from the childish gameplay it use to possess, which may piss some people off.

GTA4 boring? Bollocks! I'll just say half the fun of a sandbox game is what the user does with it so if you're finding yourself bored perhaps the game isn't the problem.

No. All the threads should be about how great the GTA games are. :D

It's just that there are so many "I hate GTA4" or "man GTA4 is boring" or even "why can't GTA4 be as good as Charlie's Angels" (ok I made that one up myself). It's getting tiresome and just seems like a cry for attention considering how good the game is and how well it's sold.

You do understand that GTA is an acronym for Grand Theft AUTO, thus there has always been and always will be a focus on vehicular combat, you should feel the rest is a bonus, not the contrary ...
