So we have come to GTA IV. The most waited PS3 game in the history so far maybe. When I heard that they are gonna release this game I was really excited. I really liked the previous games (GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas). Then came the day.... 5+ hours of gameplay.... I got bored!! The voice acting really was good and so was the story, but the gameplay is just so boring. The missions were innovative though and the ambience too. The cars felt really real, and there were many new "mini games", such as dating, bowling, drinking (alchohol), the internet, chasing criminals and other stuff. But something is just missing. One thing is true: This game really is overrated! The multiplayer was a little fun in the beginning. There were many different modes such as Cops & Crooks and Team Deathmatch, but one thing that spoils the multiplayer is...... THE AUTO-AIM MODE. It's really frustrating to die so easily.
Who would I recommend this game to? If you like to roam around the city and kill everyone this can be plain fun. If you are after a interesting story, this game could be yours too. Otherwise, I would say "DONT BUY IT!".
The rating really depends on what you like. + Story (the Russian style really was okay) + Voice acting + Cops & Crooks (multiplayer mode) + "Mini games" + Cars + You are free to roam around the city (as usual of course)
- Same old gameplay - Soulless multiplayer - In the end... not that much new stuff - Friends can be annoying
