GTA 4 was no doubt the most anticipating wait anybody has had to do for a game..but I want to know if you guys think it was worth it. I know I certainly didn't....I thought the game was stupid compared to the other Grand Theft Auto games.
I think its great, definatly worth the money. I think they tried to make it to realistic and the keeping up with your friends definatly got boring. I was expecting something revolutionary with the online, but I can look past that. All in all it is a great game, especially once you beat it and start using the cheats.
It just seems like there's very little to do outside of missions. And if there are activities, they're somehow connected to a character from the story line rather than something that feels like a product of the free roam environment. Where are the burgulary activities I could take up any evening? Why can't I take the ice cream truck sell some "ice cream" whenever I feel like it? Having certain gangs dislike and having to tread lightly in certain areas of town. Must it be so limited in IV? I understand that they had hoped to create a more story-driven experience, but not when it means frequent and repetitive outings ("Wanna shoot some pool?") and a neutered amount of activities to undertake in the city. It's a beautiful, massive game world that feels utterly empty at times...something I had never felt with any other GTA.
The missions bored me so much, really repetitive stuff and also rockstar took out the flying big aeroplanes and army tanks which i thought wasnt a smart move by them.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. GTA IV is the best thing since Gears Of War. The online is great. Try playing for more than twenty minutes.
I mean I guess it was worth it... the singler player was pretty good just when u finish it lol.. and I thought the online was gonna be alot betterAkm4everz
I thought it was briliant by far one of the best games on the console, the story did get a bit "oh god not another one" about half way through but a quick break for a few days and I was ready for more :) it did kind of take itself a litte too seriously at times though and I didnt realy like how it just left niko completely screwed over with not enough real closure to his story line (far as Im concerned) but hey I'm sure a dlc episode could sort that
the multiplayer however was crap. Matchmaking is pot luck and you get a lot of players who want nothing more than to annoy you and they have a very easy time doing it, specially in races where you get lil f***'s who just turn round and ram oncomming drivers thus ruining the only online mode i liked grr
The game tended to be a bit of a dissappointment to me. I was really hoping there would be something else to do outside of missions. Activities were there, but there wasn't a lot to do once you finished mastering all of them. The mission were nice and story in on itself was good, but money had no use in the game. Before I left the first Island, I already had bought all weapons and maxed their ammunition and then I just didn't find any meaning for money after that. I was really hoping there would be some apartments or buildings to buy, but you just got them from your friends in the story, you didn't have to buy any of them. But it wasn't a waste of money, oh no. The game was a really good game, but I like San Andreas more cause there is a lot more to do in that game.
gta 4 has actually got one of smoothest and best storylines out of all 4 of them i like it voice acting and everything is great lost and the damned is great too cant wait till the next episode.
I hated it when i played it when it first came out...i found it totally boring, the missions were all the same and if you fail you have to restart all over.
I recently came back to it and I'm finding it ok, but I find it so hard to get any fun out of it, the missions are just not fun IMO. I doubt I will ever finish it...
I found GTA 4 to be a mediocre game where it's missions are extremely dull. Running and driving around is pretty fun at the start, but can be quite boring after some time. Background graphics are okay, but character graphics are just terrible. GTA 4 is highly overrated, possibly the most overrated game of all time.

You can read my review to see my in depth thoughts. But basically I thought it was a solid game and one of the best of the year, but not innovative at all. If the next GTA game doesn't add some substantial new elements to the series, then it will feel old and stale. To me, GTA 4 was as good, but didn't adavance the series much at all. In fact, you could argue San Andreas advanced the series more than GTA 4. When you consider that GTA 4 is on the next gen consoles, and compare it to the games of the previous gen, then you can see there really wasn't much improbement or bar raising done.
GTA4 is extremely fun until you beat the game and multiplayer can be really fun ONLY if your playing with friends. Otherwise it's really annoying and stupid.
