  A game to be remembered.

  by Modshock on January 5, 2011

  Pros: The games graphics are amazing! The characters will stick with you no matter your choices in the game. Lots of cars. Improved aiming system, Easy to handle driving system, and plenty of story to keep you busy for hours of cop killing action!

  Cons: Not very many weapons. Still missing the customization of San Andreas. Also the map isn't as open as San Andreas although you can go into more buildings. NO PLANES, just one helicopter with machine guns.

  Summary: The graphics are amazing, if you have an HD TV your in for one heck of a treat when your driving down a street at full speed with the motion ...

  Summary: The graphics are amazing, if you have an HD TV your in for one heck of a treat when your driving down a street at full speed with the motion blur. It almost makes you feel like your in the car with the wind blowing in your face, somtimes it makes me tear up because of the graphics.
  
  The weapons from the past GTA's are missing, like the flamethrougher (The most famous weapon in GTA) And the minigun. (Another ONE!)

  I also wish that they wouldn't of picked Liberty City as the location, for one the city is very small if you have already went every where possibal, and it just dosn't have the feel that San Andreas had. I liked driving from city to city, or flying planes from here to there. In Liberty City it just dosn't have as much open space, its alway hard to get through traffic which can be a pain when on a timed mission.
  
  But that all goes away when you look at the major up in the game... MULTIPLAYER!!! If you were sitting at home all these days playing Vice City or San Andreas saying, "I want Multiplayer!," well stop complaining now! Your wish has come true!
  
  Another good feature is the improvment in gameplay. The ability to dive behind cover whilst being shot at is pretty cool and makes gunfights alot easier.
  
  So overall the games great. And deserves that 10 out of 10 it got 2 years ago.

  Cons: tough to fight when cops get close to you, cover system needs a little tweaking.

  AMAZING DETAIL, ENDLESS EXTRAS & VARIETY OUTCOMES

  by barefeet99 on June 2, 2009

  Pros: Increadable detail, many varieties of outcomes-not always the same game, realistic grafics & sounds, i.e.: how cars start to burn in stages before blowing up. People jump out, stumbling around on fire, screaming hysterically-always fun to watch:)

  Cons: Can't turn & fight cops when they get too close, so you just get busted instead of kickin' the crap outta him & running away. The vehicles somehow right themselves back up on their wheels, even though they tipped over on their side.

  Summary: Have plenty of batteries for your controller. Time will fly & you will find it hard to put this game down. Sometimes just driving down the sidewalk in a Hummer ...

  Summary: Have plenty of batteries for your controller. Time will fly & you will find it hard to put this game down. Sometimes just driving down the sidewalk in a Hummer at full speed is fun w/o even playing the game. Check out the realistic sounds when smacking into the people-like dead fish (thud, w/ the gutteral sounds emmitted from the victims & Nico's funny comments ("Get outta the way!" or "Only in this county do they let blind people drive" or "I'm glad this is not my car"). What an outlet after a long hard day!!!

  What you heard about it is true - but not a 10 because graphics aren't perfect.

  Pros: Enriching environment and superb story

  Cons: Graphics not up to next gen status

  Summary: There have been many reviews of the game; I'm not going to waste your time rehashing them here.

  Summary: There have been many reviews of the game; I'm not going to waste your time rehashing them here.
  
  I can certainly understand why it's been getting ten out of ten, but I felt slightly let down by the 'adequate' graphics. While my HD TV and sound system are boosted by the game design to a degree; it certainly does not take full advantage of this technology. If you've played Assassin's Creed on HD, for example, you'll know where I'm coming from.
  
  Let me make it clear though that this review is about the 'perfect' rating offered on this site: It's still a superb game!
  
  I'd have given it 9.5 out of 10, if the site permitted.

  It's Official, PS3 Version runs better than the 360 Version

  by Dre Dinero on April 28, 2008

  Pros: Excellent Detail, Raises the GTA bar even high than San Andreas, Excellent Story Line and Dialogue, Multiplayer, Most Realistic looking game thus far (Running out of room, too many pros)

  Cons: Framerate does occur, all buildings aren't interactive, cover system flaw

  Summary: I know alot of you die hard XBOX 360 fans aren't going to be pleased to find out that (yes its true, even IGN agrees)the new Grand Theft ...

  Summary: I know alot of you die hard XBOX 360 fans aren't going to be pleased to find out that (yes its true, even IGN agrees)the new Grand Theft Auto IV game which releases to the public 12AM tonight, runs a lot smoother on the PS3, with a way shorter load time (due to the fact the game loads directly to a PS3 hard drive, XBOX could not do this because there arent many XBOX elite owners who have the necessary hard drive), far more less framerate issues (this is a no brainer, PS3 is way more powerful console, also the reason the air force and others use them as super computers) due to blu-ray storage and quality. Besides that the 360's color is a litte brighter (more animated looking), beyond those facts, the game play is neck and neck for both systems. I've been playing it all last night and this morning, unfortunately I had to go to work. I've been talking bout this game all day and decided to see what the reviews and others were saying. IGN gave is a 10 out of 10 (First game with a perfect 10 score from IGN since Soul Calibur in 1999, wow, damn near a decade. Also first game with a 10 in the seventh generation of home consoles). Just so happens my buddy and I (he works at a game store, wont say which one, and he hooked up both up with the game yesterday as he was cleared to do so.) played the game first at his house on the 360 (which I considered buying due to the extra 'exclusive' content for GTA) and I was ecstatic although it took some time to load (longer than the beginning of San Andreas). Throughout the game we experienced a lot of framerate issues during police chases and speeding throughout the city (the framerate does not throw off gameplay though, it was still fun to watch and play). After a hour or 3, I rushed to my house, poped the game in, and notcied that the load time was very short, just a few seconds (like 15). Also I noticed that my PS3 version looked a little more like a movie with detailed edge, so at that point I wanted to see how my police chase looked and there a couple to no framerate issues. So I called my buddy to **** him off and make him buy a PS3 since he almost convinced me to buy XBOX. I told him all that I noticed and he was quickly to say "no its not", so I told him come over and he witnessed it in total shock. Reason I bought that story up was because in IGN's review (as well as others) noticed the same things I did, which puts the icing on the cake to what I was feeling and telling everyone from day one, come on, XBOX uses HD-DVD (a max of 30GB per dual layer) and PS3 uses Blu-Ray (a max of 50GB per dual layer), now ask any developer what can you do more with, and they'll tell you PS3, but with all the simultaneous releases developers aren't allowed to develop games that stand out significantly on the PS3 because Microsoft would need a new system just to compete in the Nex-Gen war that they loss badly last generation. I do hate that PS3 games that come out on XBOX are held back because of that but none the less the games dont look bad but can be more detailed on PS3. Enough of my opinion on that, all in all GTA 4 is a complete masterpiece that will shadow a lot of games this year, there is just so much to do, rather your getting drunk or going to watch Katt Williams perform a set or even meeting friends, there is too much to do this time around so the word "bordom" doesn't exist. You'll love it rather you have PS3 or XBOX or both. Looks like I'm a have to pass on the exclusive content cause I dont want to feel like I wasted money when my system looks better for the game. 2 episodes aint worth 600 dollars (I was going to buy the elite), I'll just go to my buddies house and play it on his. Well I'm going to conclude this opinion with a direct quote from IGN's reviews for the game on both systems (and yes this validates all that I said) and o yea, it was well worth the wait as it exceeds the hype it received, at least in my opinion, anyway here is the quote "For those wanting to know which version looks better, the edge goes to the PS3. The textures and framerate are comparable, but the PS3 has far less pop-in. The 360 has richer colors, but the PS3 has better anti-aliasing making it look a little cleaner. Because GTA IV can preload onto the PS3 hard drive, the in-game loads are faster. Don't worry Xbox owners, the load times are rarely more than 30 seconds and don't occur very often. The slight visual edge goes to PS3, but the 360 is no slouch. Either version will do you proud."
  
  Reminder!!! If you understand business, you understand politics. IGN has to remain politically correct because they dont want to damage another consoles sales and/or reputation or even worse lose a high paying client, which is the reason they said it in a nice way, but the message is clear, PS3 version visual and loading is smoother than that of the XBOX, but they dont want to say, PS3 version runs better, its cleaner, etc. Thats politically incorrect.
  
  If you would like to see the review in its totality here is the link: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/869/869541p1.html
  The 360 review is the same as the PS3 review, word for word.
