I wanted to be extremely critical of this game, but I can't

User Rating: 9.5 | Grand Theft Auto IV X360
I was not a fan of Vice City or San Andreas. Why? Because they were more or less the same game as GTA III. Because of this, I gave myself pre conceived notions that GTA IV was going to be the same and I was going to unimpressed.

You know what happened? Rockstar happened, they came out of no where and kicked me in my metaphoric balls. Some how Rockstar has taken the GTA formula and beaten me over the head with it. It's so good, its not even funny.

What else can really be said about the game. Every thing has been improved, graphics, aiming is improved, physics are improved, everything is improved. Oh, and multiplayer. The multiplayer is really what makes it. There is nothing like going around Liberty City and just doing a drive by only to get hit by an RPG. It is just so fun, and there are tons and tons of modes to do online.

There are little quirks here or there but honestly for the bigger part it doesn't matter, this game is just that good.

Sorry about the short review, but I'm going back to playing it.
