    Memorable, it really made a revolution the day it was released, great characters, great graphics, everything was great, just made by Rockstar

    Grand Theft Auto IV was a technical marvel at the time of release, and boasts a physics engine that has seldom been topped in the sixteen years since it's release. Gone are the cartoony visuals of the previous three games in the series (for better or worse), but the realism they were going for was pulled off surprisingly well for a video game that released all the way back in 2007.

    The story and characters, while not my personal favorite, are among the best and most interesting that Rockstar has ever created. I've always thought of GTA IV as a sort of spiritual successor to GTA III (as GTA V would later be to San Andreas) and in that regard it's an absolute home run. When "The Lost and The Damned" and "The Ballad of Gay Tony" are added in to the mix, it's not hard to see why people hold this entry in such high regard. The only thing that holds it back from being a perfect 10 in my book is that the gritty, realistic tone often keeps it from being as fun as it really should be.    … Expand

    Grand Theft Auto IV tem uma das melhores histórias da franquia, uma gameplay realista, mesmo que em alguns momentos frustrante, excelentes personagens. Ele peca um pouco no seu mundo aberto sem muita coisa para se fazer, história se arrasta um pouco, mas nada que lhe afaste seu interesse da história. GTA IV é uma obra prima da geração do Xbox 360 e PS3

    This game is still number one today to play now that people are pretty much tired of GTA V this one has more stuff that GTA V is missing in the physics are funny even though the driving controls is trash but the game looks and feels more realistic than GTA V and of course the online servers for GTA IV is going strong nowadays even at 3am they’re still up

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Every Gta game makes you live in the "American Dream", Gta IV makes you question the "American Dream". With its gritty, dark, story and massive New York City-inspired map, Liberty City. A Yugoslavian War Veteran whose past consisted of selling, beating, and killing people and children arrives to Liberty City for a fresh new start, But after his cousin is beat-up by Loan-Sharks, his life changes forever as he has to repay the debt of his cousin by turning to the criminal underworld. In GTA IV, you will experience betrayal by the people you think are your closest friends, you will betray people yourself who are your "close friends" and you will have an arsenal of weapons and cars to mess around with in an Ugly, dark, city like Liberty City with the Euphoria Engine Physics. It's a castle for the rich, and a wooden shack for the poor which your character will go through these changes. Have fun in this game, but remember. Trust no one, and this isn't your typical American Dream...… Expand

    Muy bueno, ya que posee una historia muy buena igual que sus expansiones, es divertido de jugar y me gustan sus personajes, físicas y los gráficos me parecen buenos para la época. Me encanta mucho espero que le hagan un remaster o algo parecido para volverlo a disfrutar y en Next-Gen. Juegazo como los de Rockstar

    When I first played GTA 4 I was amazed by the graphics and the new physics engine, the game felt so realistic and Liberty City looked awesome.
    The story of Niko Bellic is one of the best in the franchise, they did a really good job.
    Niko is one of my favourite GTA characters after CJ from San Andreas.

    This is SUCH a great game that really stood the test of its time. But i don’t think it’s not as great as reviewers like IGN (who gave it a 10 out of 10), but it was great because it was the only GTA on the 360 at the time.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Altro ottimo capitolo della saga. Non rivoluziona ma mantiene quanto di buono visto precedentemente, con il salto generazionale di console che aiuta nella resa grafica e tecnica del progetto.

    I could go on and on about why Grand Theft Auto IV is one of the best games we've ever seen and why even folks who are easily offended should play it, but that would be pointless. The only thing you need to know is that you have to play this game. Period.
