Summary: Fun game overall but racist and full of political propaganda 2010-02-22
Comment: Where to start off...
The game is a must for GTA fans since this is the first installment of the game on a game console if you don't count DLC from Xbox Live or PSN.
Graphics are good but don't do justice to the power of the PS3 yet it's still fun to play.
The map is huge and can be explored via car, boat, helicopter, subway, on foot, swimming - btw, falling in water doesn't kill you unlike in previous GTA games - you can swim now!
Now, what's my biggest gripe about the game? Say if you're not originally from the West you won't like what some in-game radio stations say about the East, particularly about Eastern Europe and it's people. The message is racist and outraging to see the political propaganda against the East is spreading to video games too.
I can't give this game more stars than this, and with lots of indulgence. This game brainwashes the young generation into thinking the East is filthy, poor and savage while the West is advanced, wealthy... "better".

Summary: The "Perfect" Game Ruined 2010-02-15
Comment: I keep trying to play GTA IV, the premise of it is so cool. But the game is so damn buggy, the controls are straight TRASH and the only time I ever died is because of the stupidest design flaws I've ever seen in a game. I can't play 2 missions without getting so mad at it I have to turn it off. It's so disappointing to know all the cool things in the game and not even be able to take advantage.

Rockstar didn't even try this time around. I've had the game for a year now and haven't even gotten through maybe 20% of the game. I've lost a ton of respect for the GTA series and Rockstar games in general thanks to this. As far as that Red Dead Redemption coming out? I might download it illegally if I get bored. Why? Because the game looks GREAT. But too bad Rockstar made it, otherwise it might be fun.

If you want the best game ever. But don't want to play, you just want to let it sit on a shelf this the game for you. Because there's no way to can just "get used to the controls" like everyone else say they did. I've gotten used to them, I can work around them to do what I need to do, but that doesn't change the fact that they suck. People also say that the driving is "more realistic" these people have obviously never driven a car before.

I know at this point anyone who was going to buy this game already have and to all of those people, I feel your pain. I think I'd rather go get an Atari 2600 and a copy of E.T. than actually finish this piece of junk.
