About Grand Theft Auto IV

The fourth installment of the popular series by Rockstar features improved graphics, new features, and new gameplay. Players take on the role of Niko Bellic, a rough-around-the-edge chap from Eastern Europe. Niko has arrived in America, in Liberty City -- a land full of promise and opportunity. His cousin convinced him to emigrate, to join him in his mansion and life of luxury, but as soon as he steps off the boat, Niko discovers the truth about the American way. Still, the wealth, the comfort, the bliss of the good life, it all really is here... And it's all for the taking.

Summary

One of the greatest video game stories ever told. It may have its flaws, but it is the most ambitious game made to date and, without a doubt, the best game so far this generation.

We like

  • The movie-caliber storyline
  • The stylistically unprecedented recreation of New York City
  • The vast online experience

We dislike

  • The slight framerate dips and pop-in
  • The lack of a checkpoint system
