The Good
Superb character-driven story, Liberty City feels alive, Multiplayer modes that let 32 players go wild across the entire city, Genuinely funny radio and TV shows, comedy acts, and character dialogue, Customizable radio station and video editor are great additions for PC.
The Bad
Occasional problems with friendly AI, Some minor visual quirks, Windows Live account needed to save progress, Mouse and keyboard controls aren't nearly as good as Xbox 360 controller, Insanely high system requirements.
The Bottom Line
GTA IV reinvents the series with a renewed version of Liberty City detailed to the last pothole and rooftop vent. There are now four boroughs to explore plus extra area outside of Liberty City proper. With the ability to climb obstacles, drive cars, steer boats and pilot helicopters, the world of GTA is more accessible than ever before.
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.
