 Worst Game Ever Devised! November 21, 2008
The "Grand Theft Auto" series is an insult to the world of video gaming. In no games should you be allowed to kill cops, run over people, and engage in disgusting and perverted activity while playing the game! In addition to being mindless dribble, games like this pervert the minds of anyone who plays them! These games will DEFINITELY NOT be in Heaven!
 The quintessential GTA November 18, 2008
This game is the jewel in the crown for Rockstar Games. I bought it for my son and let him finish all the missions first, of course, and now I sneak it while he's at school and have a blast. It's got a great storyline with different endings. It's pretty linear but you never feel forced or boxed into following a set path as you can always go off on a side tangent and have fun and forget the missions for a while.
I highly recommend it for everyone, except younger children as it can be pretty bloody, graphic, and profane. But that's what makes it so fun for the rest of us.
Simply Amazing November 17, 2008
I'll keep it short.
The franchise has improved upon every subsequent release and it has gotten to the point where this game is so amazing that I have dreams about it.
It's gigantic, beautiful, incredibly detailed, has a great story, is incredibly realistic, ... the list goes on.
If you're a GTA fan, it's a must buy, if you're considering buying it, BUY IT! If you're not considering it, why are you reading this review?

One of the most engaging and entertaining games available November 16, 2008
I was never a huge fan of the GTA series but I knew that the this one was going to blow everyone away... and it certainly did. Beginning with the 1997 release of the original Grand Theft Auto, the GTA series has been one of the most prolific, controversial and down right entertaining franchises in video games history. First of all GTA 4 is fantastic full of mouth watering visuals down to the weeds growing in the cracks in the sidewalk, cars and buildings of all heights and the unbelievable NPCs who are intelligent, modern, human representations that laugh, cry, eat, drink, use cell phones and ATMs, and talking amongst themselves regardless of Niko's interaction with them. However the subject that really stands out is the gameplay with massive improvements since the previous one with an improve combat system and modern features such as a mobile phone which runs the show and a social where you can have a girlfriend. With players experiencing entirely new and exciting emphasis centered on the blending of on-mission and off-mission play, resulting in an increased sense of realism and more interesting and unrestricted gameplay.
An outstanding and a first to the GTA franchise is the new multiplayer modes allowing you to play online in competitive, co-op, and free form modes. Competitive mode has you fighting against the cops, jacking cars, or racing to finish odd jobs.
GTA 4 others so much more to the series than ever before with a polished story line with a slick script, detailed world of the modern New York City, releastic social life full of gentleman's clubs, comedy clubs, bowling alleys, and bars, which all house unique activities, an environment which you can interact with, with 4 islands to explore, plenty of side missions and of course a very entertaining multiplayer with plenty to do for several months or years to come. A must have for console owners.
