Rent it to see if you like it I guess, then buy it if ya dig it. It does start to get repetitive and boring though. I am 29% done and I have no desire to keep going. Same old stuff over and over...

I'd say it's a safe bet to buy it, but if you're really that doubting, then there's no harm in renting it :|

its good to hear an honest opinion... I have always thought that about GTA games, Its fun to occasionally mess around in, but I've never liked earning peoples respect and doing little deeds for them...

I'd say buy it, it keeps me entertained for a long time to be honest, hours on end. I love cheating with the helicopter to go up a VERY tall building and then spawn a car up there and drive off, it's so intense and awesome. :D

If you buy it, you won't regret it. But if you're still unsure, just rent it first.

Buy it. Aside from the obvious that it's a quality game, here's why:

1) A lot of the game opens up after several hours in. Things like the cell-phone, Internet, other islands, street races, assassin missions, etc. -- These things are not available (or not fully available) until you've progressed. Unless you totally crack out on the game, a few casual hours from a rental won't let you see the real bulk of the game.

2) Much of the joy of GTA is the subtlety and stuff that isn't right in your face. Hilarious things happen here and there, and you may not notice them right at first.

3) The multiplayer is varied, and it's fun even when you're losing -- the mark of a good multiplayer game.

You dont buy or rent GTA, GTA buys or rents you. No JK if you liked the past 3 GTAs then you will like this one. If you have never played them then you owe yourself. Safest thing to do is rent. All you lose is 8 bucks if you end up buying the game

i'd honestly recommend renting this game over buying it. the multiplayer sucks bigtime and made me hate the game after i was through with the SP. the sp takes about 30 hours on average, depending on how fast you wanna take it, some people have beat it in under 10, some take over 50, just depends on how you approach the game. i'd rent it once, and maybe a second time, but i wouldn't buy it unless you are going to replay it a lot.
