    @ sythonX The jacket you get when you complete the mission i need your boots clothes and motorcycle for gerald ! what happen to the 10 they took it out .I guess they had enough of some people saying saints row 2 was better . (it is not ,but saints row and sr 2 are still very much fun ).

    I thnk it got a 9.8, but the new score system lets it only go like 0.5, so a 10. The system is weird, I liked the 0.1 system more.

    GTA IV best GTA game yet, but I think it ties with SA. SA just got so many cities and landscpaes and such a HUGE world. And I could brag more how great it is lol.

    I wish this game had chainsaws like the last one.

    Wow... they said nothing negative about San Andreas, and it scores a 9.6... however, at 8:09 the reviewer says "it's not perfect" and lists it's many flaws, and this game scores a "perfect" 10. Bull Sh1t.

    Ok good game I not dishing on GTA or what ever but how IS it differant from all of the other GTAs. from my experiance once you play one you've about played them all. but I've only played liberty cities and San andreas but besides the cheats and the location they're practicly the same game, but that's just my DUMB opinion

    george ur an idiot he meant that gtaIV is the best game on the ps3

  • crackdud

    Posted Jun 17, 2009 12:57 pm PT

    If this guy says that GTA 4 isn't perfect, then why does he give it a 10? I'd think that he would have given the game a 9.5 in that case.

  • george999819

    Yeah, right. It is only better on the PS3 if you want to miss out on 2/3 of the whole experience (The Lost and Damned, The Ballad of Gay Tony).

    Its a great game but i wish it had more of the fun elements that there was in San Andreas

  • DreamyMeadow

    I don't know how could GTA score the same as MGS.. surely, this is one of the greatest games ever.. its sandbox heart is absolutely amazing.. you can do practically anything.. buy a pair of expensive snake skin boots, an expensive suit.. steal a Lamborghini or Mercedes and then just blow it at top speed into a wall.. or you could be a low-key, cheap-looking killer with some cheap car.. don't like cars? get a bike.. or a truck.. or maybe you'd like to take a walk through the city.. or perhaps you'd like to enforce law and shoot some hookers.. you can really do virtually anything without feeling of tied hands.. audio is awesome.. visuals could have been better but the occasional flaw won't ever interrupt you (and in most cases you won't even notice it).. the controls are smooth and simple.. the difficulty is really nice.. hardcore players may find it as easy as a cake walk through NY and on the other hand, weekend players may find some missions kinda hard but neither group should really complain about it.. as the first group won't get through the game in one evening and the hard mission will, after some practice, be passed.. story is cool although some characters may appear a bit stereotype-ish.. and after you finish it.. you can still have tons and tons of fun with the city itself..

    You compared this crap to Gears?! Rockstar ruined the GTA series here. Everything was tried to made "real", which ruins that good GTA feel. If you want what GTA IV should have been, get Saints Row 2.

    at first i didn't like this game, but i kept trudging through and eventually warmed up to it. whats disappointing is the lack of features that SA had, like modifying cars and getting haircuts.

  • Luiz_AF

    Posted Jun 11, 2009 10:14 am PT

    Yeah there is something fishy. That thing is hype. I mean, this game was so overhyped. And San Andreas is still waay better. SA never gets boring. IV gets boring a while after you beat it. I'd still be playing SA if my disc wasn't so scratched

  • SlyVictim

    Posted Jun 8, 2009 5:14 pm PT

    This game is just the previous gta games but bigger and better. Why does it deserve a 10? I mean, Zelda TP is like ocarina of time but bigger and better, so why did that only get 8.5? Something fishy is going on here....

  • DKY93

    Posted Jun 1, 2009 9:00 am PT

    i dont think it deserved a 10 because there are so many bad things about it

  • xistfirat

    Posted Jun 1, 2009 7:37 am PT

    yea, i'd say 9.8 or somethin, not 10

  • PhantomBlob

    Posted May 30, 2009 3:10 am PT

    Tbh, GTA is a good game but not so amazing that it deserves a perfect 10/10....

  • plasticbox1990

    Posted May 28, 2009 4:46 pm PT

    i don't get what all the hype about GTA is yes its fun to play but i always found missions & the storyline to be tedious.
    the best part of the game is the sand-box element, just killing randoms in the street & stealing cars or helicopters. my personal favorite thing to do is the rocket launcher long/high jump.
    the best GTA has to be san andreas because of one thing the jetpack Yes its over the top but that is what is needed in GTA just random things like a jetpack or fighter jet & that is what is missing from the newest GTA, The fun sense of randomness & the ability to drive any vehicle no matter how obscure

  • curtdoggLP5

    Posted May 24, 2009 11:06 pm PT

    The two best improvements for me were the driving and shooting. I absolutely hated both of those aspects in the previous games and now it's top notch. This was a launch-day purchase for me, and I still play it. Excellent game.

  • KRaZYmAn123

    Posted May 22, 2009 12:13 am PT

    still my favorite game to date.

  • stinkymonkey58

    Posted May 19, 2009 5:07 pm PT

    its too bad that he didn't talk about the new physics that they implemented for driving, but when u buy the game u can find it out for yourself..

  • p4kman88

    Posted May 14, 2009 11:23 am PT

    when they come out with the next gta (which they will) i hope they fix a lot of bugs and hopefully it would be like san andreas but with much greater game play

  • p4kman88

  • WilloN82

    stf!!! great game. it got what it deserve... best gta game ever, hope they make another one. get a 1080p tv with a $100+ hdmi cable and you can watch this game with good graphics. stop crying guys :-P

  • robertcain

    Posted May 11, 2009 10:24 am PT

    If it isn't perfect why didn't they give it 9.8 or 9.9. They only give games .0 or .5 now

  • Turk130

    Posted May 9, 2009 8:39 am PT

    Easily the best GTA game

  • p4kman88

    Posted May 7, 2009 10:21 am PT

    do you know why rockstar spent over millions of dollars on this game?...and it wasn't on graphics and crap like that it was to pay off game review sites magazines to give it such a big hype yeah its good but its certainly not a 10

    oh if it was possible to decapitate and blow off limbs like in the previous gta games and if weapon animations were improved such as blow back system and the ability to customize them im pretty sure all that is possible through the technology of the ps3

  • p4kman88

    Posted May 6, 2009 10:23 am PT

    gta 4 came out real nice one of the greatest for sure but in this gamers personal opinion this game could've done much much better, such as weapon sound, the ability to do heists online like rob fast food joint and banks, and when shooting at a car the bullets should be able to go through the doors but other than that it would be really cool if it was a destructible environment to put it simply if heat was a video game that was online

  • Nunuxos

    Posted May 5, 2009 4:43 am PT

    it's been out for 1 year and 4 days( i guess) and i still play and have much of fun!it's just the game we want.Simple,awesome,cool.

  • jacko-147

    i meen this game was amazing but a perfect 10 come on no game deserves that because every game has some flors in it.

  • crazyleftykid

    Posted Apr 21, 2009 5:39 pm PT

    i dont think a perfect 10 is what this game deserves. infact. probably a 9.... its almost like gamespot got payed for a 10 lol. like seriously, battlefield bad company had great graphics, just some scratchy surfaces and some AI bugs, and that got an 8.5.

    gamespot, if a game has problems, then its not perfect... di di di!!!

  • chefbabyryan

    This game is great, deffinatley worth a 9.8 though.
    graphics can be really ugly sometimes.
