Oct 26, 2021The darkest and most serious game of the series, even though it's not as Over the Top as the other games, I really dig the gritty vibe this game has, and the music fits very well.
-
May 14, 2019The story is a lot more than inspiring and teaching. There's something special about this game... It's a lot different than San Andreas, and i think the grayish color gives it its special feel, since the story is dark by itself. Lagging, stuttering, bugs and all other bad things are just too small for the greatness of this ever lasting classic.
-
Jun 27, 2019Grand Theft Auto IV is pretty well made. The story is good, graphics were good for it's time.
-
Jul 14, 2019Отличная часть, отличный сюжет и геймплей.
-
Aug 3, 2019Un juego de primera, a pesar de los años a envejecido bien, sus físicas son increíbles y mejores que GTA 5 pero en frame rate es pésimo en ciertos momentos pero lo suficientemente bueno para ser disfrutable su historia es genial, eso sí no hay música de fondo pero es lo de menos, en definitiva un buen GTA, aunque, algo infravalorado al día de hoy
-
Dec 6, 2019This game proved to be a revolution on the video games industry, and proved that rockstar could maintaine its worth on the industry.
-
Sep 9, 2019GTA IV. For me the best GTA ever made. The dark atmospheres of the streets of Liberty City, the American dream of Niko Bellic, The harsh reality, the soundtrack. Everything fell into place in this game.
It is therefore not surprising that, years later, I can still evoke the feeling I had during my first playthrough.
In short, a unique experience of the best GTA so far. -

Oct 1, 2019The best gta ever released. I think rockstar could have done something with secundary missions and other activities to do in free play when you finish the game, but it is the most realistic game that i ever seen, everthing is perfect like real life.
-
Nov 10, 2019The game is cool. Completed one hundred percent and very interesting, I went through it twice.
-
Oct 14, 2019Great world and tons of content. Great character in Belic, a hardened criminal without the glamour that is usually portrayed in films nowadays.
Only negative is that pesky Roman insisting for a date. -
Nov 5, 2019o gta 4 E Mais realista Que o gta 4 sem duvida mas o Jogo E Muito mal otimizado pra pc fps cai com frequencia MESMO COM pc bom mas MESMO p ASSIM recomendoi de Mais
-
Apr 21, 2021It was released back in 2003.. yet still better than GTA V.
Things I liked.
• The physics.
•The graphics/how the game changes colors based on who you play.
• all the small details that make the world of this game feel alive.
•No flying bikes.
•No sharkcard **** attached.
• And finally, the actual crime story they tell instead of something that's trying to rip-off sants row. -
Nov 27, 2019This game is just incredible. Awesome history I guess this is one of the best games that I have played
-
Dec 8, 2019this concertesa is one of the best games in the GTA franchise, but the game left a lot to be desired in many ways, their biggest problem was the giant focus on realism, that made the game very boring, and doesn't want to finish it again
-
Aug 21, 2023Another 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.

Jan 18, 2020This is by far the best open-world game I have ever played. The story is straight-up breathtaking and the graphics are really good for the game is so old. Niko Bellic who is the main protagonist is also one of the best protagonists in all of GTA history.
-
Jun 10, 2020Greatest game of all time. It was way ahead of time. Just imagine those physics and graphics for a 2008 game, it literally has torque in the game physics.
-
Sep 29, 202029 september 2020
top pc spec sometimes its goes under 50 fps on 10600k with 2080ti
this is most epic video game port in history
but i love it
playing gta iv since 2009 -
Mar 28, 2020das spiel ist mega cool and i love this game

-
Jun 25, 2022One of the best games I have played. Maybe the second after Red Dead Redemption 2.
-
Aug 15, 2023One 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.
-
Apr 3, 2020The game isn't near the perfection but i can tell you that this game is very good and it is a must-play. The story is great, one of the the darkest ones if not the darkest in all GTA history, the dark/grey graphics fit very well the atmosphere and the story, the driving is not very realistic but it's way more realistic than on GTA V, and than it deserves an 8/10
-
Apr 6, 2020Its a decent game. The story is solid and the soundtrack is pretty good, only thing whats not good is the Gameplay. Could be better
-
Apr 11, 2020This game is a true masterpiece it really is a one of a kind story and truly shows how great video game story's can be.
-
Oct 11, 2022Best car physics that was ever made, graphics is very good at 2008 y. characters are feeling as a real people. This game is perfect
-
Feb 20, 2021One of the best and most innovative game in the series. Just like playing in the industry. Everything that came before, of course, is suitable. And then, RockStar started to get bored.

Mar 28, 2023One of the best open world games out there, the online is genuinly fun. However the online mode is a bit of a cash grab at times and sometimes the story does drag out a bit

May 4, 2020Хорошая игра, но немного серая и задания не такие интересные
-
Nov 15, 2020Game is perfect, must have ps3 game, with great gameplay, physics, good story mode, big open world
-
May 16, 2020Grand Theft Auto IV definitely isnt a perfect game, but it i enjoyed it from start to finish and beyond.
What i hate about this game is small map... you are limited to play whole game on "one island".
On the other hand i liked the story.. typical pattern zero to hero.
Graphics are good for fact it was released in 2008 (12 years ago)
8/10 -
May 12, 2020by far, it is the most overrated game in the saga, very boring missions, the only really remarkable things are the physics and history of the game
-
Jun 13, 2020Stunning story telling. Perfect characters. Wide gameplay. Side characters are the best

Jun 21, 2020While the story could be better, somehow I grew fond of the main character, and I enjoyed going through the missions and completing the game. I feel the world is pretty big, there's quite a lot to see and do without it getting too repetitive. You can spend a lot of time playing this game, especially if you want to complete all the side missions, so you definitely get your money's worth
-
Jun 21, 2020Not the best frame rate but still a good one.
Ps3 is going to be a legend in some years... -
Jun 24, 2020Grand Theft Auto 4 is my first and favorite game in GTA franchise. Story is great. A physics is very good.
-
Mar 8, 2022İ was always a liberty guy my first game was gta 3 this game is my childhood
-
Jun 27, 2020Best games I ever played. The graphics are great and I love the story. It was so much fun playing rich characters in LA. The story is long and well thought out. And this game is sooo much funnnn!!!!
-
Nov 15, 2021O game envelheceu mal, comparado ao GTA 5 no quesito diversão ele fica pra trás, em questão de mecânicas e físicas pode até ser bom, mas muito realismo em games pode ser um tanto chato, em fim, na época que lançou talvez tenha sido algo que impressionou bastante a Crítica, mas hoje em dia vemos o quão envelheceu esse Game.
-
Jul 21, 2020So much fun to to play! I don't know how many times I've played this but it never fails to entertain.
-
Oct 12, 2020I'll be honest, this was my first ever GTA game I played. And it didn't diappoint. The friend feature was fine for a lil bit, but then got really annoying after awhile. I can't say much about the multiplayer since I didn't play that portion of the game.

Jul 1, 2020Best GTA ever. The story fitted so well with the given atmosphere of the game. I just love it. Already played it like 10 times. The DLC‘s were just awesome too.
-
Jul 1, 2020Четвертая часть моя любимая. Проходил её много раз, вот чего надо делать ремастер!)
-
Jul 12, 2020Самая мрачная, серьёзная и от того, лучшая игра в серии GTA. 9/10

Jul 1, 2021Summary:
Underneath this sloppy port hides a great GTA experience.
The Good:
Liberty City looks and feels alive. Good story, graphics and voice-acting make for quite an experience. New covering system makes combat really fun.
The Bad:
Sometimes becomes buggy and unstable. -
Jul 20, 2020Best GTA ever its a great game with Amazing story and cool graphics it the game that you will play for years and years

Jul 20, 2020El mejor gta, con realismo, buenos gráficos e historia, y un soundtrack espectacular.

Jul 23, 2020Recently played GTA4 again it's aged decently still a fun game to play. I wanted to give my opinion on how I see it these days.
-
Jul 29, 2020Esto es pura obra de arte , con una ambientación llevada a la perfección, intentando crear el juego mas realista posible con las físicas muy bien hechas, y la conducción puede ser complicada, pero esta hecho por la razon del realismo y parece perfecto. El multi es lo que tiene que ser un multi de GTA, sin micro pagos y solo tu y tus amigos haciendo el imbécil por la ciudad.
-
Jul 28, 2020Driving was so fun in this game. Story was awesome. Online multiplayer was fun. Wish GTA5 had driving like this.

Aug 16, 2020It's GTA with shiny new graphics, hilarious ragdoll physics (Crash your car at sixty miles per hour on the free way towards oncoming traffic; priceless), and a gripping new storyline filled with the usual GTA nutjobs and ingenious voice acting. That, and the radio stations are as sarcastic and satirical as ever. Go buy it; it has tons of mileage for your money.

Sep 3, 2020Graficos correctos,un realismo y unas fisicas totalmente adelantadas para su epoca,una buena historia con misiones un poco repetitivas pero entretenida.Lo unico malo de este juego fue su optimizacion.

Oct 15, 2020Es un gran juego, ya ha pasado muchos años, pero Niko bellic sigue siendo el mejor protagonista de todos.
-
Apr 29, 2021The game story is brilliant and the character building is at it's highest.
The new Rage engine does a really great job making the ragdoll physics natural and the car physics and anything that's in the game is just next gen -
Nov 9, 2022El mejor GTA, sin ninguna duda. Mejor historia, mejor personajes, mejor ciudad, peor rendimiento. Lo que sufría PS3 con ciertos juegos era bestia, muy bestia.
-
Aug 7, 2021Un juegazo de tomo y lomo personajes con un trasfondo y sentimientos que porfin te hacen encontrar algo en ellos gran videojuego, gran historia, grande colo colo
-
Nov 30, 2022un gioco noioso , che stufa nel giro di poco tempo , anche se preso per 10 euro , non ne è valsa minimamente la pena; uno dei giochi più sopravvalutati della storia , Null'altro da dire.
-
Apr 17, 2021One of the best if not the best game ever made period. Its like real new york criminal activity
-
Nov 29, 2020Great game. deep story, protagonist with a life story, one of the best gameplay and realistic physics that impresses in the middle of 2020. in the smallest details convinces me to be the best game in the series ever released.
the game map could be bigger and the soundtrack is not so good compared to "vice city" and "san andreas". -

Totalmente recomendado -
Dec 30, 2021Undoubtedly one of the best GTA if not the best.
The story and its characters are amazing, the game physics are very well done and the hidden easter eggs are incredible.
My favorite GTA. -
Dec 28, 2020Gta 5 is imo the best ever but this definitely deserves my 10 rating. I remember tge excitement when I started playing it as a kid and especially "cops N crooks" online mod, which not even in Gta 5 I couldn't match it.
-
Jan 6, 2021Um ótimo jogo, a física é muito boa e a história corre bem, me diverti bastante jogando.
-
Jan 11, 2021GTA IV not the most popular part of the GTA series. I remember waiting for its release in 2008.
-
Jan 22, 2021For me personally, its the Godfather of Games. I played it on ps3 when it came out and i play it on pc today in 2021.
-
Jan 15, 2021Best game from Grand Theft Auto series. I love music. I love dark style. I love everything about this game.
-
Jan 22, 2021It is really good but the weather theme is very dark but you can buy and try a game that is no problem.

Mar 5, 2022Es buen juego, tiene unas de las mejores historias de todos los gta, pero nada supera al mítico GTA San Andreas
-
Aug 28, 2021I love it, Niko bellic is a great character, the story and game progress is just right, this game is the reason I bought the ps3

Mar 7, 2022muito bom o foda é que no final as missões não apareceram e eu não pude zerar, vai tomar no cu rockstar
-
May 1, 2021Absolute classic, would love to have remaster of it tbh. Rockstar really is one of the best.
-
May 3, 2021It's a great game, even without the Checkpoint system. It has beautiful physics and beautiful graphics according to its time, but there is a shortage of optimization.
Awards & Rankings
-
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.
-
But GTA IV will never get old, or start repeating itself. It will always offer anyone who turns it on an experience to savour.
-
Electronic Gaming MonthlyGTA4 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]
