This is a great game. The best GTA i have every played by far.

User Rating: 9.5 | Grand Theft Auto IV PS3
I think this is the best game of this type open world style to ever graze the plain of the earth. That being said their isn't much competition outside of past GTA's. This game did what it is supposed to do though. It improved on a solid formula. Now it is a great game but i am not as easy to get a 10 out of as most of the game critics around. if a game has glitches and flaws which this game does in its visuals and some of its AI and really as new as some of this feels it doesn't feel that insanely different from the past GTA's for the most part but it does seem deeper than in the past to this point. But like i was saying in no way can a game with flaws ever get a perfect score from me. It has few enough errors to score it as high as any game on the market.

Is it the best game on the market? Not for me. Its the best game of its type though and to this point i would say its as good as any game released this year about equal to me as a couple of them. It will provide tons of entertainment more so than any other GTA has to date. But for me believe it or not the life of crime does eventually kinda get a repetitive feeling i haven't reached it yet and with the multiplayer it should be a long long ways off.

The controls are good i mean i don't know that the controls for this type of game could ever feel perfect these don't but at least they are close.

Like i said and a lot of serious reviews say 10 or not is occasionally the visuals suffer from the same type of things all GTA games suffer from. Its not the best graphiced game for its particular systems but its great considering the amount of content in the open world.

sound is good its not going to win any awards i don't think well maybe effects or something but i don't see it getting any artisticle merits but its good certainly nothing that can be complained about and its excellent with 5 speakers and a nice woofer.

um I guess i can't speak of replayability yet but its a GTA game i have never had a hard time picking up any GTA game a year down the road and at least getting another fun couple of hours here and then. Its one of those games i will consider a keeper i am sure.
