Grand Theft Auto IV was definetly not a perfect 10, and it was way overhyped. Grand Theft Auto IV in my opinion deserves around a 9.2, and it was the best game in the series. I think too many people expected it to be like San Andreas with unrealistic plane crashes, shootouts, and whatnot. What we got was a grisly action game based in a New York City parellel as you survive as an immigrant fresh of the boat. Personally I liked it A LOT, but other people didn't, which suprised me. You perfer flying a plane to the hoover dam, paracuting down to it, and then shooting out all guards and jumping off the top to evade the cops to tactical executions red army style in Brighton Beach.

Hating GTA IV has become the fad of the board. I don't think it deserves a 10, but I'm not afraid to admit that it was an amazing game. I think I gave it a 9.7 in my review.

Both AHY and CanadianCR hate it... Probably because they're both Canadian... maybe it's only Canadians who hate GTAIV?

Anyway, I loved GTAIV as well.

ya it has, i still think it deserves a 10 tho, great realistic game tht was spent time on. The next GTA does not need 2 be in liberty city, im so tired of tht place. I hav played since the 3rd 1 and i hav loved them all except vice city. I loved San Andreas the most out of all.

Great game, but not as good as i was expecting... 9.5 the most... it could've been a lot better considering the capacity of the next-gen consoles...

I doubt they would make back to back games in Libery City.

I think it went through phases too, like it was hyped up a lot, then a lot of people loved it with only a couple of haters, and then everyone started to hate it too.

I liked it, and played it twice. But some people hate it beyond belief.

I found that although every facet of the game oozed quality, there wasn't much fun to be had. The story was waaay overrated and half the missions devolved into chase after chase after chase.

What made GTA fun was everything that was missing from GTA4.When I play a GTA game,I want unrealistic mayhem and comic mischief.When i want realism,I'll go play something that executes it better along with sharper gameplay.GTA is not a quality franchise to pull off a good story,because that's not why you play GTA to begin with.

Well, I'm Canadian and happen to like GTA4 lol Generalization for the dislike of a game makes no sense.

Only things I dislike about GTA4 is the obsessive friend system (who ONLY calls you when you're 100 miles away) and the sloppy foot controls (which becomes apparent with that warehouse full of bikers that you have to escape from when the cops show up)

I do like GTA4's physics though. Seems more realistic compared to SA.

That's my gripe with Saint's Row: Physics.

The game is fun, I'll admit, but I'm not the kind of mindless gamer who can do something for hours. I need to be immersed in the experience and Saint's Row didn't do that. It WAS most definitely what everyone was expecting GTAIV to be, but with much lower production values.

The driving is very, very similar to San Andreas and after spending time in the Row, I really began to miss the way cars swerved in Liberty City.

Both games are great, but GTAIV is just an incredibly immersive experience compared to Saint's Row 2.

Liberty City just feels more alive.

No it wasn't the best in the series imo. I like GTA SA much more. Honestly I would give GTA 4 an 8.8. Maybe lower.

I was bored by the game. After two hours I had driven a guy around some, gotten in a fist fight with a couple of guys (and the controls for the fist fight were terrible) and went on a date with some chick who liked bowling (and why on Earth did I actually play that bowling mini-game, it was incredibly stupid). I was so bored at that point that I could never bring myself to play the game again. On the other hand, I really liked LittleBigPlanet.

I liked it but didnt love it. 3 was the most groundbreaking, first of its kind. Then my favourite by far was San Andreas, I remember playing that game like there was no tomorrow

Eh, haven't really enjoyed a GTA game since GTA 3 & Vice City.
Pretty much called it quits for that series after that.

:lol: Add another to your list, but know this ... that enough of my friends loved the game. I just felt it was extremely overrated for all its hype, technically I don't hate it, it was still a good game. Just wayy over rated.

GTA4 gets a 6.5 outta me. The game was to realistic for its own good. Lacked everything that made GTA fun to begin with imo. I didn't care for Niko, couldn't make any connection to him at all. Story was weak to say the least, as was the script. Hated Roman and Brucie, and all the other characters that would call to go bowling or to a strip clubs or whatver. Felt that was annoying as hell.

i found not much wrong with gta iv. the multiplayer is fun. the graphics are pretty good. its the first gta where you can actually see through each individual finger of every character's hand. the story was absolutely one of the best. the car controls were sluggish in this game but you get used to it. i just think ppl didn't appreciate the realism of the game though. i don't know if some need to be more mature about it or if the game itself needs to lighten up a bit on what it truely is. but gta iv was a really good game. it lost all its hype after a bunch of other games that interested ppl such as MGS4 came out.

I thought GTA IV was a AAA game. I missed some of the craziness of San Andreas, but it provided a different flavor for the series, and was a fantastic game.

I thought it was awsome, the graphics were improved, the shooting controls were improved, and the story telling was top-notch.

then I came and the party really got started!

GTA IV isn't so bad. yeah, at first I was pissed off because they took out too many things, but on my second play through.....I..I appreciated it's simplicity.

As a GTA virgin, I picked it up a couple days ago to see what the fuss is about. I like it, but I wouldn't say it is 10 material. There are some really really frustrating moments in that game but everything around it is so awesome. I really like it. Not the best game ever, but I really like it.
