Looks amazing. Great voice acting and story. Interesting environments. But where's all the extra content?

User Rating: 8.5 | Grand Theft Auto IV PS3
Grand Theft Auto (GTA) is by far my favourite video game series of all time. I love open world sandbox games and I'll never forget when i first played grand theft auto 3 and felt like "Wow I can do anything."

As the series progressed it felt like Rockstar was trying to find new innovative ways to get players to have that same moment every time they released a new GTA.

Now don't get me wrong, GTA IV awed me when i saw the amazing graphical detail, car damage, shading, models etc. The city looks amazing and you feel like your in a living breathing world. But in a big picture comparison, San Andreas is still my favourite GTA. Here's Why.

In San Andreas:

-You can fly planes
-You can ride peddle bikes
-You can recruit a gang on turf you own
-You can buy real estate (gives money a purpose)
-You can become a pimp and get money from hookers eventually
-You can get a jet pack
-Your character needs to eat and work out to stay healthy
-You can parachute from tall falls
-You can execute Manhunt style knife stealth kills

This is just a list of things i really miss in this most recent GTA. I'm positive we will see many more features in the next release (I Hope) as this was the first GTA on this gen of consoles.

All in all GTA IV is an amazing game. Online GTA is something i have been waiting for since GTA 3. I love the look, feel and sound of this game and i can't wait for the next one.

I'm glad saints row 2 is getting a bit of lime light, I think it will cause Rockstar to really step up there next game. Can't wait!
