So close to perfection!

User Rating: 9.5 | Grand Theft Auto IV PS3
This is by far the best Grand Theft Auto experience to date but falls short of perfection. Check it out below...

Graphics 9/10
The graphics are much improved over the last gen games but is not as good as other games on the console. Rain effects look fantastic and the change from night to day is pretty nice. Character models look decent as well.

Sound 10/10
Outstanding voiceovers and free world conversations can be heard all over. Many many more radio stations and songs to listen to. Rockstar did a good job here.

Gameplay 9/10
Vehicle controls can be a bit wonky at times but the overall feel of the game is pretty damn good. Use of the cell phone is a great idea and really give this game a more realistic feel. Especially the dating and such.

Overall 9.25/10
Its close but the game is not perfect. The game has froze twice on me now which obviously stops me from giving the game a 10 right there. Hopefully a patch is out soon but if you want a game that will keep you busy for months on end then this game is the game you want. Even with the random freezes I can't stop playing this game. Thank god for autosave!!!
