Hey it's a good game but it's not quite the 10 I was looking for.

GTA 4 is a solid game. Great visuals, impressive scale for Liberty City, lots of minigames and the good old GTA we love. But it does not revolutionize anything! In fact I was bored with the game quite quickly and even annoyed especially with the girlfriends calling you or your cousin. Sometimes you just want to play a game where you can kick around some people, blow something up, and then go bowling without someone calling you every 5 minutes. It's a virtual nagging game and in your cousin's case a virtual babysitter game just you don't get paid to do it and you can't just watch TV and ignore him (well you can but it won't do much for the story if you do, not to say the TV shows are not good lol) The minigames and interactive parts of Liberty City are one of the game's saving graces. There's always loads to do in town. You can hit the strip club, go to the internet cafe, go bowling, hell even catch a comedy show there's quite a bit of content. But the mission variety is limited to the usual GTA styles and as said before sometimes you just need a game where you can run around causing mayhem without too much consequence. Hence why I am a fan of Saint's Row 1 and 2 hehe good times. Gamespot was very generous with giving this game a 10 especially compared to games like Fallout 3 which only got a 9 for some reason but is worth more in my opinion then this game. If you are a fan of GTA like I am then you will not be horribly disappointed, but don't expect to be floored.
