Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360)

This is not out yet, but i have been lucky enought to play a beta version and i must say so far i have been very impressed. Most people think of Grand theft auto as the best single player experiance out there.... and you know what i agree. I dont see the point of talking about that aspect of th game because you all know the quality expected. With this new game a mutliplayer is added to the experiance. Which is truly incredble. Up to 16 players can go online via xbox live and wreak havoc in the cities in a variety of games including deathmatch and such like games. Gameplay is similar to single player with use of vehicles still allowed. Tactics and teamplay are ...  Read the complete review

GTA IV's sense of timing is impeccable - perhaps somewhat ironic for a game which arrived six months overdue. Liberty City is an apt venue to exorcise Rockstar's creative ghosts, as this certainly feels like the game they wanted to ship back in 2001 - bringing to bear myriad ideas previously left on the cutting room floor due to timing and technological constraint. This pastiche of criminal life in New York City has greater subtlety, richness of content and self-assuredness; all leaving an impact which grows incrementally with each playing session. This GTA is important because it takes the concept and delivery of action game scripting in unfamiliarly engaging ...  Read the complete review

No game has ever made me take a weeks holiday from work on release week but this one. No game has ever had me queuing outside a store at midnight on release day (let alone the fact I'd been kickboxing training that day and was pretty tired and sore) but this one. To put it simply Grand Theft Auto IV when taken as a stand alone game is one of the most enjoyable games I've ever played. You play Russian immigrant Nico Belic, a low level criminal looking to live the American Dream and also plotting revenge for a 'incident' in his past (I'll not go into this as it would spoil part of the story for you). He's pretty messed up but a good guy at heart who I became ...  Read the complete review

It's been nearly four years since Rockstar North released its last GTA game, San Andreas, and the wait has been long. Knock-offs have come and gone, and little has managed to make the wait easier, with the exceptions of Crackdown and The Godfather maybe. Well at least in most peoples eyes. I personally have a love-it-or-hate-it relationship with GTA, where I love to free-roam around the cities and blow up stuff using cheats, and I hate getting immensely frustrated with the challenging missions and poor gunplay. I always thought that other reviewers overrated the series, giving most of the games exceedingly high ratings. I won't deny the writing and acting was top notch, ...  Read the complete review

Grand Theft Auto 4 was eagerly anticipated by many fans of this Rockstar series. For me, I was just pre-ordering it for my husband. As far as I was concerned it was of no interest to me......WRONG, within 5 ,yes 5 minutes of watching him play I was hooked (and yes I'm a girl!). I got my very own copy a week after the release date and I haven't stopped playing it since. Story Mode The location for this story is based on Liberty City, this comprises of 7 Islands varying in sizes. You play the character of Niko Bellic, who has come to Liberty City with a very troubled past. Little does he know that some of the past has come with him... ...  Read the complete review
