Grand Theft Auto IV (Platinum) reviews

So much to do in Liberty City.
Drive around, Bowl, watch TV (Repubilican Space Rangers is really funny), Radio, Watch comedy (Had Ricky Gervais from Extras and The Office), etc.
Great fun. A mate and I watched the TV for awhile cause it was so funny

Must buy

FANTASTIC GAME!

Best game of 2008 so far, Huge city to explore and plenty of travel via foot and vehicles.

MUST BUY GAME TO ANYONE WHO OWNS A PS3!

This game is just fantastic! Everything about it is amazing and despite what some people have said does take GTA series in a new direction. The character development, graphics, detail, lighting etc is just outstanding. I have never had any problem with it crashing, There is very very little popup. A previous comment stated that the game was too dark – Get a new tv! I haven't had to change any setting running with my Sony 32" LCD V-Series. If you don't have this game for your PS3 then get it today!

This game is so great heaps to do much better than the other gta games

must buy

10/10

Def worth it for the price.cant beat this fame really played it ages ago on the 360 nw got it on the p3.

We all loved GTA San Andreas. It had all the production values you would expect from Rockstar Games and it was absolute fun because of its over-the-top action and silliness.

This time around Rockstar Games takes on a more realistic route and wow I was impressed. One of the best stories in a game in recent memory for me, excellent production values and all the freedom and open-world elements we have come to expect from the GTA series minus some of the over-the-top-ness we have been used to.

If you miss the over-top-segments, you can always get the Episodes from Liberty City, the Ballad of Gay Tony episode contains them.

Its like comparing the old Tim Burton Batman movies series and the new Christopher Nolan series. The old one was known for its loyalty to comics which meant the usual silly and typical superhero elements but great entertainment while the latter is more realistic but still as entertaining if not better.

Its a blast and a game every gamer must play atleast once. Does it get repetitive after a while, yes but if you can slog through 100 hours of an RPG, I cannot see why you wont in this game (nowhere near that long) and which always makes you look forward to the next story segment in an excellent story.

The graphics are amazing, PS3 does this game justice, the first Grand Theft Auto games always looked a little bit cartoony. The colour is much more natural, not dark, but the changes between night and day are more real. The collectors edition is well worth a look if you can find one as it comes with a cool bank deposit box as well as keyring, carry bag and art book on gta. This game will also keep you occupied for ages, there's so much to do and so many different missions its good value for money. Definitely a must have title.

Guys you must buy this one!!!!! It is great you have to play it to believe it!! Worth every penny. Also I am glad I got it on PS3 because it has the faster loading times and not as much pop ups!! I'm sure its still good on 360 tho but if you have the choice get it on ps3!!!

This is one of my favorite games. It is really realistic game with good graphics.
Worth the money

I was never a huge fan of Grand Theft Auto, I really enjoyed Vice City but I just got board all my brothers ever played was the different Grand Theft Auto's then IV came along & I can tell you it is great fun, heaps of missions, some great laughs, one hell of a lot of things to blow up :D Defenatly not a kids game you really don't want them picking up on some of that language but for an adult its a great laugh. If you want to complete everything this game has to offer you have a long game ahead well worth a buy even if you just want to have some fun driving round for the hell of it the grafics are well worth it

A classic

An amasing game one of the first games I got with my ps3. I would strongly recomend it to anyone 9/10

Awsome game mean levels.Awsome strtegic game with in tense missions .The problem is that its not a very good map like recent gta not as big as the san andreas map.

GTAIV is probably the most overrated game of all time. But don't take that the wrong way, it's still a great game. The game world of Liberty City looks gorgeous, and is incredibly dense. GTAVI has the best story of any GTA game since GTAIII, and it is definitely the biggest draw card here. However, in terms of variety, and things to do, GTA San Andreas was a lot better. But don't let that put you off, GTAVI's combat is by far the most coherent of any GTA game, and driving is more fun than ever thanks to a plethora of exotic cars.

There is an online multiplayer, which features a mass of different game types, but unless you can get over the lag, you probably won't spend too much time here. So all in all, you can probably expect at least 50 hours game play out of GTAVI, maybe double if you want to replay the campaign differently.

So yes GTAVI is a good game, just don't buy it expecting the be all and end all of gaming that critics will have you believe it is.

One of the best games ever! with a great storyline and 1080p graphics and now the DLCs have been confirmed this is the time to buy.

I have had this game now for 4 months and im still going on it. I can play it for hours and the time flys, or just have small goes. Its well suited for both and for any age to play to, as long as your ok with killing and running people over. There is so many places to explore and things to do. This game is going to keep me going for many months to come. Awesome game.

Grand Theft Auto 4 has lived upto its expectations.At first, I was wondering why it was given 10/10 rating, but after i have played it the answer is obvious. This game is a MUST for everyone!

One of the BEST games i have ever played!! I have never been a fan of the GTA series but this one really hacked my brain. The game is engages the player in superb character-driven story in the open world of Liberty City. Easy hassel free controls and new gameplay mechanics allows the character to really shake things up whenever and where ever you want to. You can never go bored with the liveliness in the city and its comical aspects from the funny radio and TV shows, comedy acts, eating out and drinking and even strip clubs for the guys!!! Need i say more? Gamespot and IGN rated GTA 4 10/10.
Its an all in one package for those who always say “i expected more from it”
It's a MUST HAVE for any PS3 owner out there.

This game is a must have – the missions are great, the graphics are great, the online is fun and and and .....
really it's a must have game for all consoles owners. You simply live in the game while playing.
Enough said, just go ahead and buy it ;-)

This is one of the greatest games on PS3 so far. It will provide you with hours of fun and exploring and for those of you with access to internet, An incredibly fun online mode. This game has a HUGE map to explore and a great Story to play through.
I recommend this game to anyone who has a PS3.

The best thing about this game is that you can do nearly anything you want, whether it be ten-pin bowling, going out for a drink with a friend, getting into a fist-fight or just blowing some poor persons head off with a shotgun.

This game will provide hours of entertainment for anyone and theres always cheats for those who feel a little… destructive…

Grand Theft Auto is always a hit with the hubby, so is always a sure thing for a present.

Love the game, think it's great! The missions are cool, it's fun to just muck around, the only thing stopping me from giving the game 5 out of 5 is the music personally. There isn't any decent radio stations, I find I play the game while listening to my cd player.

No words to decribe this game…'cause it is awesome! Graphics, lighting and the amount of detail that was applied are superb.
The cons – No planes, No gyms like GTA SA, and the driving is very differnet so it takes time to learn, however there is always a taxi.
Pros- Multiplayer, Graphics, Taxi rides, better cars, cellphone to communicate to everyone, script :)

Excellent game because it has good graphics and gameplay.It also has a cool story and lots of cool missons to do or you can just free roam.Grand Theft Auto 4 is a very realistic game and you get cool weapons and vechicles when playing this game.This is a great game and every gamer should get it.

not that special just same thing pretty much every mission go some where shoot some one

Nothing special here folks, its just another rehash of the GTA III formula, this time with frequent game crashes and dodgy multiplayer support. While the visuals are superior to its predecessors, there are some oversights from a design perspective which mar the experience somewhat – very small text, dark, murky shadows – I had to ramp the ingame contrast and brightness right up in order to be able to see! Annoyances aside this is a solid evolution of the GTA series, just don't expect a gaming revolution.

GTA 4 HAS BEEN DELAYED TIL EARLY 2008…THAT SUX.
