Summary: 2 Stars
There was so much hype surrounding this game, and it just fell sooooo short from expectations.
Lets start with the main problems,
All the customization options from GTA: San Andreas are gone. No more bike ridding, bodybuilding, haircuts, tattoos, stamina, underwater swimming, Airplanes, parachuting,Car customizing.
Its essentially GTA 3 with better graphics and story
The developers said this stuff "wasnt possible" in this game. Which is complete bull, if its was possible in the previous game then why is not possible in this game with superior console power?
Onto the Online play.
Its So-So, nothing exciting. Some interesting gametypes, but the aiming system is pretty bad. People dont die if you plow into them with a car at full speed.
All enemies,friendlies,and weapons show up on radar making it pretty cluttered.
More of a rental if you ask me.
Customer Review: Wish I wouldn't have given in to my son's request

This was a "bought it because everyong else had" purchase. Great parents, friends of mine had gotten it for their kids. It's such a popular game and fun game for the kids to play. Of all the children I knew who played it, I had heard that some were not allowed to (go into the strip clubs, etc.) I finally gave in. Thought I would try the same tactics of "controlling" different scenes/places he would be allowed to go, so he wouldn't be so exposed. WHAT WAS I THINKING!!???!! Every day was a shocker. He would say he was killing the cops, blah, blah, blah. Just a lot of unethical, violent things where his position is the bad guy. I just don't like it. My fault. I shouldn't have given in to the popularity of the game and what my friends and their kids were all doing. They are regretting it just as much!Customer Review: More of the same, but a bit better

Well I might as well start off saying that GTA4 is a pretty good refinement of the well loved series. The story and voice acting are good, and actually flow fairly well. There is even some good character development, not a lot for the NPCs, but still some. There are also a good amount of interesting missions. But after not too long it starts to get very repetitive. Some missions are frustratingly difficult as is the standard, but must be beat in order to advance. As usually you are initially locked into one area when you start the game and unlock other areas through mission completion. Which is well and good but that prevents this from being a true 'open world' experience. I have never been thrilled with the GTA control scheme and this is no different. The controls are not as responsive as I like, and buttons are assigned to many actions. So you will find your character doing something other than you want him too fairly often. The shooting and targeting system is much improved, but the lock on system is poor. Personally I hate GTA4, I find it repetitive and annoying with a good amount of mission success resulting from just dumb luck. There are far too many chase missions, some you have no trouble with and some you will be constantly foiled by NPC drivers. If you are already a GTA fan this is more of the same, but slightly better and you will love it. If you are on the fence I would recommend a rental. And if you are luke warm to the series this iteration isn't going to convert you. Good gaming. Customer Review: The best video game than I have played in my life.
Summary: 5 Stars
No game has never given as much freedom you. Better than all the previous ones.
