Advantages: The sheer size of it

Disadvantages: Can be slightly daunting to begin with

Grand Theft Auto 4 arrived last year on the Xbox 360 & PS3. Alot of games have come and gone in that time yet GTA 4 has stood it's ground and remains one of those most have games.
After moving into 3-D with GTA 3, GTA 4 doesn't reinvent the genre of but instead tweaks and moulds it leaving you with one of the most rounded games of it's genre, one which it helped to create.
The main city, called Liberty City is bursting with life and there is plenty to see and do without actually getting on with the main portion of the game, however once you do then there is alot to do with a great amount of variety from one mission to another. Bearing in mind that this games gives you an achievement for completing it in under 30 hours then it should give you an idea of how large it is.
The graphics, although good will not blow you away up cloise however the sheer scope of the world will and more than makes up for any shortcomings.
If you include online play and now the chance to further your experince through downloading 'The Lost and Damned' through the market place then you have a game which will sit in your 360 for months to come

Summary: Carries the name of GRand Theft Autio with pride
