GTA IV is a perfect game. There is abolutely nothing wrong with it. When you play it you will get such high surges of adrenaline that you will nearly die from a heart attack because of how incredible the gameplay is! Driving down the road while shooting gangsters has never felt so rewarding and so exciting at the same time. You just want to keep doing it over and over while you explore the gigantic city with Niko.
The storyline is also very moving and convincing. You will absolutly cry at the end due to everyones incredible voice acting and the great graphics that render their faces so well. This immersion causes you to weant to replay the story at least 5 times before becoming slightly bored fo it but then you can just do one of the other millions of things that you can do in GTA!.
The graphics are the best graphics ever rendered on a game. Rockstar deserves credit for finally moving out of those bad graphics and creating the revolutionairy lighting system! Its incredible to, the light reflects off of everything including buildings and cars all in real time! Then there is the physics engine that rockstar created. It makes everyone more life like. Especially when you run someone over or blow them up. Rockstar really deserves credit for creating these two things along with the sandbox genre because it will push other games to create bad clones of their games *caugh*Saints row*oough*
Finally therw is the new online system. Rockstar has taken advantage of the internet to make it possible to play online with friends! I know it sounds impossible but Rockstar did it. Their revolutionairy online system will mark a new oevolution for other games but for now only GTA IV can do this. You can have infinite fun playing in Liberty city with your friends and its all thanks to rockstar.
Overall this games the the best game ever in more ways then one. If you dont like it then that too bad. Your missing out because gamers and crtics agree that this is a great game.
GTA IV turned GTA into a more grounded franchise where storytelling and immersion became just as engrossing as wrecking up open-world sandboxes.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.
I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing
1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.
It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!
I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.
Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.
Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.
Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:
- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2
I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.
Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.
I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.
I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.
But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5
Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.
but as a person of brutal honesty, i must say, this is ridiculously WRONG!
GTA4 is not the best game ever, not perfect, and I promise you, most of us do not want to continuously drive down the road shooting gangsters over and over, especially with the crappy car physics.
Seriously, im not being a douche, i read it was your first review here, and i just wanted to give you some constructive criticism, and this just doesnt sound like it is a completely honest/unbiased review.
My review of your review: 5/10
sorry for being so harsh
I do not approve this review.
Graphics:8
sound:7
gameplay:7.5
fun factor:6 (nowhere near San andreas)
Online:6.5
it should be minimum 7/10 but with a screename like GTA IV...
yeah..
