Read this review before you buy the game, its all true
GTA it's not perfect, no game is, you will always find a flaw in every game you play. GTA 4 has a lot of GOOD things that I enjoy, as follows - very detailed( to the point where you can see blood on your car after hitting somebody with a car). Graphics are ok, but what can you expect for a game that long. I mean they could have made better graphics, but then the game would be shorter, and it would probably work slower. The city is very developed, and the game is fairly easy. Some will enjoy this game more than the others, because it is very realistic, many people don't like that, because the games are harder, I say this game is very easy. I don't know how could it be hard, because all you have to do in order to do well in that game is to take your time, well except in the missions in which you have a chase.
Now for the BAD
- for some it freezes, but there is a patch all you have to do is download it
- no more parachutes, planes, and jet packs, well i didnt like the jet pack this much, but a lot of people enjoyed it.
- the weapon variety is missing, for example where is the katana(what I missed) my friends missed the following - the minigun, the fire gun thing, the remote granades, and the different kinds of pistols that you could equip yourself with.
NEUTRAL
- Some miss the stats, like muscle that you had to gain, and stamina and crap, I know I didn't miss that, it was for me somewhat annoying. I do not like the fact that there is much fewer stores than in SA, but that's not something big to complain about. The story mode-the best in series jet, unless you are the type that likes the fact that every time the mission starts with "kill this guy", well here the story is much more developed, and there is two endings, so you can say, that to really enjoy the game fully you should pass it two times, I am currently working on that. There is two endings, and you decide which one to pick, because you are given the choice of where to go.
OVERALL
GTA 4 is an amazing game that most people should enjoy, but many will be dissapointed in the stuff that was left out of SA, but there was a lot added in exchange.
