    This is a great game, dark and deep story, solid gameplay mechanics, great replayability. I would give this game a 9 or 10 even. But the crappy ass rockstar launcher ruins most of the experience.

    Story is so interactive and characters are really good too. Guns feel a little off but still fun.
    Main grind for me is that driving is really boring and the player is punished way too much for dying. But still a great game to play even today.

    GTA IV has a darker tone than its predecessor. I missed the individualisation options that GTA San Andreas had. But the story is great, the atmosphere of Liberty City is excellent, and the gameplay is fantastic.

    Best game in a world! Great city, physics cars and optimisation! It is a pity that in the next part they made it worse.

    While this game is a masterpiece, the same thing can't be said with PC version of GTA 4.

    This version is poorly optimized and have many problems with performance issues, due to developers simply port a console version to PC and changing little stuff without fixing issues with performance, its got worse with a Patch 7 somehow, they added a new shadow but didnt fix performance problems,    While this game is a masterpiece, the same thing can't be said with PC version of GTA 4.

    Apprezzo l'aggiornamento fatto in passato dalla Rockstar per la complete edition su steam, però sono già passati un paio di anni e invece di moddarlo preferirei che riaggiungessero alcune musiche delle radio che hanno levato e se fixassero qualche bug o ottimizzare la compatibilità con i nuovi sistemi operativi
    Comunque in fin dei conti è sempre un bel gioco

    Именно 4ая часть GTA вышла просто не в своё время. Игроки конца 2000х годов ждали от игр онлайн, а изначально в GTA 4 его небыло, а то что подгрузили потом, можно назвать  - стыдом и позором Rockstar.
    Так что это конечно полный провал в серии, хотя игра супер. Просто вышла не в своё время.
    В одиночные игры в конце 2000х играли только, извините за выражения - бомжи и нищеброды. Так что,    Именно 4ая часть GTA вышла просто не в своё время.

    Мы любим GTA за веселье за какое-то безумие и GTA IV лишена всего этого. Чуть ли не черно-белый фильтр и я понимаю зачем это было сделано, но не могу этого принять.
    Не могу назвать себя большим поклонником серии, но это определенно самая отталкивающая часть.    Мы любим GTA за веселье за какое-то безумие и GTA IV лишена всего этого. Чуть ли не черно-белый фильтр и я понимаю зачем это было сделано, но не могу этого принять.

    As a kid I never really liked GTA too much. I used to consider it a "dirty" franchise, which is a term I used for things that you'd expect your elder brother to like when you were kids. It didn't have too much colour, there are no colourful characters, there is no comedic storyline and so on. Turns out I had been thinking this way about GTA because of this very game. So after I finishedAs a kid I never really liked GTA too much. I used to consider it a "dirty" franchise, which is a term I used for things that you'd expect your elder brother to like when you were kids. It didn't have too much colour, there are no colourful characters, there is no comedic storyline and so on. Turns out I had been thinking this way about GTA because of this very game. So after I finished GTA V last year before the pandemic started, I decided to give this game a try. I started playing this game before the pandemic, and finished it after it. Turns out this is now my favourite game in the franchise.
    I don't know why, but I think there's something about East Europeans that they can never be taken casually. And this game is something that has expanded over that. GTA IV is the only serious, grounded game in the entire GTA franchise that actually follows a grim, dark storyline of Niko Bellic, a Serbian man who has come to America to start his new life. He has nothing left back in his country other than sad memories, but in America he has the thing he needs the most in life, a new, positive hope, something his cousin Roman is giving him. But it turns out Roman had been lying to him the whole time.
    Niko saves Roman from the Russian mob he had set them upon, gets a girlfriend, meets many new friends and tries to get over his past and start life with a fresh page, except the Russian mob, the FIB and even Roman himself just won't let him be in peace. And this is the reason why this game is so good. Unlike V, San Andreas or Vice City, this one makes the plot so powerful it makes you feel both happy and sad at the same time. In every serious scene there is a subtle humour that will take away the grim tone that it gives without making the jokes look forced. The bank robbing scene, Niko killing Vlad, Niko telling his story to Roman while he dozes off - there are plenty of such scenes.
    Another thing that makes this game so metal is the tone. The colour palette looks very, very bleak in spite of not actually being so. Although I think this is because the Rockstar games made back then used to look like this (since Bully also has the same colour palette), it really suits this game's tone. The cars are also very realistic. In GTA V, every car has a very luxurious interior. Even the dump trucks have digital screens. Tell me, does such a thing happen in real life? Do cars actually look anything even close to being that good? No, right? This is what I like about this game. The cars look very filthy from the inside, just like how they are in real life.
    Speaking of cars, this game surely has a bad mechanic for driving. Personally this is the only complaint I have with this game. Steering a car feels like steering a boat. It gets even worse when it comes to driving a truck or a bus. The weapon combat, however, completely makes us for that. This is probably the only GTA game to have an even combat. In GTA V the combat is more biased in the player's favour while in GTA San Andreas the combat is more biased in the opponent's favour (depending on who the opponent is). The weapon usage is also much better in comparison to the previous games, and this was made even better in GTA V.
    Another thing I really like about this game is the music. The menu music of this game is probably the best one in existence. The loading screen also really looks like it means business, with all the characters appearing on the screen with Soviet Connection playing in the background really gives a bossy feeling to it. While driving the car I always switched to Vlodovstok to listen to Eins Zwei Drei Schicke Schicke Schweine. It was my favourite song in the whole game (do give it a listen on YouTube, it's amazing).
    GTA IV is, in simpler words, metal. It's metal from start to end, irrespective of what choices you make. It's really surprising it does not have the same reputation as GTA V or San Andreas, even though this is the highest rated game in the franchise. If you have played GTA V or San Andreas and are looking for something else to play, this is a perfect go-to. I rea    … Expand

His cousin says he's very rich in Liberty City, but when Nico Bellic arrives in Liberty City, he finds Roman very poor and threatened. He goes into business with his cousin Roman. Nico Bellic turns into a cold-blooded serial killer and his sole purpose in life is revenge. It also reveals that the GTA series did not create a character blended with classic American culture, that they came as immigrants and experienced cultural confusion. It is worth saying that the GTA series is the best in terms of story. Although the radio music is not as perfect as Gta Vice City, good songs are selected. Not to mention NPCs, it's better than Cyberpunk 2077, which came out in September 2020. Rockstar really does this sport.… Expand

    It's the peripheral distractions of both going out with Roman, and meeting your girlfriends, that really make your virtual life so worth living. Although incredibly simplistic, they're oddly touching...One of the finest videogames ever. [Christmas 2008, p.87]

    The most grown-up GTA and the best realised, but it doesn't respect the PC much. Enjoy the multiplayer madness if you can. [Christmas 2008, p.96]

    A genuinely ground-breaking blockbuster in videogame history. There were moments playing GTA IV that I thought back to my initial experiences with games, and realised exactly how far we've come. There's never been anything quite like GTA IV in the world. That there makes me genuinely happy to be a gamer.
