    Es war kein San Andreas mehr und wurde von GTA5 in den Boden gestampft. Ich kann mir die guten Bewertungen nicht erklären. Sorry Mister Belic

    Over hyped. A plain game pagued with framerate issues and bad gore effects. Ohh.

    Another incredibly solid entry for the Grand Theft Auto series. One of the most essential games for the PS3 and one of the most iconic too. Suffers from a lot of the same issues its brother-games also do, such as repetitiveness and recycled missions, but overall a great game.

    Boring repetitive and over all a classic game experience nothing new. The fact that it is so high is troublesome. It's not worth it's purchase price.

    One of those deserted island type video games where the gameplay and story is so endlessly replayable.The addictive physics, driving, combat and shooting mechanics make this Grand Theft Auto the best in the series and one of the best games of all time.

    This game has a special place for me, whether it's the story, whether it's the gameplay, whether it's driving a car, it was a very different and special experience for me, the story of Niko Bellic, our main character, was beautiful, I couldn't finish it completely because being a hitman always makes you very tired, but it's a very nice game for a game that came out according to that time.

    Este é com toda certeza o melhor GTA de todos os tempos. Mecânica de dirigibilidade insana, a euphoria então... nem se fala. Quantas horas passei assistindo vídeos no youtube de "stunts" até ter condição de comprar meu xbox 360 e jogar essa obra prima. Eu sonhava com isso assistindo este tipo de vídeo todos os dias por pelo menos uns 3, 4 anos. Viva o American Dream...

    J'ai joué à GTA IV assez jeune et je ne l'ai pas terminé mais je me souviens que j'avais passé de bons moments et que le jeu est très bien globalement.

    It has the best story and physics engine in the series.
    Still the best gta game.

    Still very much, all things considered, not just one of the greatest games created of all time, but one of the greatest pieces of art. A story, and a setting, and an ominous and helpless feeling, just as cutting and relevant today as it was in 2008.

    Overall, it's not a bad game, but compared to it's predecessors it feels underwhelming. I tried, but ultimately lost interest.

    A game in the class Rdr2 It's perfect that the game shows a tremendous closeness between the character and the saint. Physics details get masterpiece everywhere.

    GTA IV takes players on a captivating crime-filled journey, enveloping them in an immersive and gritty world. With its engrossing storyline, dynamic characters, and impressive attention to detail, it's an entry in the series that leaves a lasting impression.

    This score and some reviews are just ridiculous. First time when I started a game because I was overhyped so I didnt even watched gameplay videos I say to myself:Wtf is this? Aiming is bad. Enemies who are close to you arent important to game mechanics but enemies who are far away are so that should result into your misery. Sometimes you dont know if enemy is dead or he wakes up and startThis score and some reviews are just ridiculous. First time when I started a game because I was overhyped so I didnt even watched gameplay videos I say to myself:Wtf is this? Aiming is bad. Enemies who are close to you arent important to game mechanics but enemies who are far away are so that should result into your misery. Sometimes you dont know if enemy is dead or he wakes up and start blasting again.Moving gun sight is also annoying and if you are shot in the arm you drop the gun... Riding a cars.. You must be very careful because any higher speed driving turn car into crazy rolling thing.These mechanics make game more realistic but less GTA and less fun. Story in nutshell is you owe money to gangsters,try to live better life,survive and all ends bad. I feel like this game instead of telling you story want to teach you some morale lesson. I dont play games for that. Most of characters are annoying or not interesting.Roman is example for them all.Only two and thats Vlad and Jacob are characters that represents good GTA game. Activities like dancing,truck driving,some rampage missions etc. arent there. You cant also buy a property to feel like a real thug who owns city like another review said.Vehicles you can drive are strictly limited. Bikes,cars,helicopter and maybe some quad. Thats all. Compared to another GTA games is poor choice. Reduced game. What I enjoyed is mood of the city. Pleasant scenery with dark backround...People should do more things but city feels alive. Side missions when you met strange people on streets and get involved into their lifes are really interesting. More interesting than main story. Throwing stuff you pick up like bricks and cups are funny and get game more immersive feeling into game. Also be a passenger in helicopter rides or taxi.Computer and ingame internet is interesting idea.Ragdoll physics are sometimes funny but thats all. Im mostly console player and defender of them but game works bad on PS3 while you drive fast world is slowly rendering sometimes even if you walk and you can see cube like glitches. So game isnt well optimalized either. 3 years took me to complete the game because story is some kind of morale teaching,missions are repetitive in bad way and end of story is not worthy of this all. 4 points just for some city mood.

  1. Grand Theft Auto IV is not a perfect game, but it is fantastic through and through, from start to finish and beyond. It is so massive, vast and impressive that it is almost mind-boggling to imagine how much work must have gone into the game to come up with so much detail.
  2. But GTA IV will never get old, or start repeating itself. It will always offer anyone who turns it on an experience to savour.

    GTA4 is a traditional crime story through and through, with a script that rarely strays from its purpose, a pitch-perfect supporting cast, and an expert combination of in-game storytelling and crafted cut-scenes. [June 2008, p.80]
