Grand Theft Auto 4 (GTA IV) (PS3)

Advantages: Visuals, Gameplay, Multiplayer
Disadvantages: Lack of customisation, Repetative Missions

Grand Theft Auto 4 is the first GTA game to come to the next gen consoles, however some of the features found on the previous versions at lacking in this game and is named by me as "GTA 3 with better visuals" Plot: Niko Bellic (The character you play) is a Serbian immigrant who was previously a veteren of the Bosnion War. Since then he has joined the life of crime. He moves to the city of oppertunity Liberty City and moves in with his cousin Ramon. ...

It is then later revealed in the game that you are in search of the person he blames for betraying his old army unit, Florian Cravic. So during his stay in Liberty City Niko constantly does favors and work for some of Ramons associates and bosses hoping that sooner or later someone might have some information and Florians ...

Advantages: great graphics, story line, very funny, some mean cars
Disadvantages: none

GRAND THEFT AUTO IV Niko Bellic might just be the best videogame character ever. Not because he's the toughest, or even the coolest, but because he's a truly human hero. Someone who makes bad decisions, isn't even hat handsome by videogame standards, and rocks the kind of tracksuit that looks it would catch fire on a sunny day. Leave him alone for a few seconds and the first thing he does is scratch his balls. But he's also fearless, funny and ...
...is a god mane gone wrong. Haunted by the horors of war in eastern Europe, and the life of crime he drifted into because he wasn't fit for anything else, Niko arrives in Liberty City lured by the promise of easy money, and even easier girls, only to get sucked into his cousin Roman's shuttle crash for life. And so begins the funniest, most freeform and, for my money, best GTA yet. As for the american dream, you can guess how hat works out. Midway ... Read review

Advantages: It's GTA
Disadvantages: You cannot shoot off peoples heads.

In summary, the game offers lots of depth. Does any more need to be said? You have freedom, you have challenge, you have missions (if you wish to complete them), you basically have choices. Throughout the game, you can decide which action you take. Please bare in mind I am only about 1/2 way through, but so far: Graphics, very good - my Mum has slowly seen the GTA's adapt to the modern world, and she was gob-smacked at the quality and graphical ...
...hitting a letter box and multi colour and sizes of envelopes flying everywhere. Story, detailed, in depth, you understand and relate to the characters well and the characters vary from cousin to someone who's just got out of jail. People respond differently depending on the environment of the game you are in at the time. Flexibility: Do missions? or Freeplay? Missions - at moments, you can decide whether to go with your head or your heart, you ... Read review

Advantages: Stated above
Disadvantages: Stated Above

...good as or better than Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas,which unfortunately,it's not.This game was highly overated and there were many rumor's going round about 100hr story mode,there's people on the online leaderboard's that have completed it in under 10 hours.Now let's weigh up the pro's and con's. The Pro's 1.16 player online multiplayer-It's the first GTA game to ever incorporate online which is probably it's best feature. 2.Large area of urban ...
...The Big Apple. 3.Great storyline even though it's not even a 10th of the length the rumor's said. 4.New cover system,it makes the shootin a lot easier and becomes more of a tactical game than a destructive "The Terminator" style game. 5.The "improved" driving physics is hard to get used to,but once you've cracked it,it becomes easier and better to drive and evade police. 6.Police-Enhanced AI which gives the police more edge and they put up more ...

Advantages: Good Graphics, Guns and general roaming space.
Disadvantages: Repetitive missions and poor online play.

Okay, I admit I have only completed a couple of missions or so but I believe I can still give a good review. Just like everyone else I was eagerly awaiting the release of Gta's first "next gen" adventure. Preordered off Amazon and it came on release day. The story is about a Serbian/Polish/Russian immigrant who is trying to make it "big" in America with his brother Roman. However Roman has many gambling debts and soon finds himself in a lot of trouble. ...
...know how to explain it but they seem "fuzzy". When under bridges and motorways it is near pitch black and when it is dark on the ground the sky is blue? Granted, so far I have not seen the same pedestrian twice, but I have heard different peoploe talk about the same things. The cars are nicely polished, however, there are too many standard sedans, so stealing cars gets repetitive. There is the odd porche, but without cheats these are hard to find. ... Read review
