Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3) is the best entry in the series and truly a work of art filled with absolute passion.
Okay, so it does take forever for it to upload but, then again I waited long enough what's a few more minutes? but, once the game is ready to go you're greeted with a snazzy intro and then the story kicks off.
I have played every Grand Theft Auto since GTA I (PS1) so it's safe to say that this series has taken a MAJOR step forward with this entry. The characters feel real, the city feels alive, driving a car is realistic, and the people react to you in realistic ways as well.
Words cannot describe this game. I can only attempt a review. It just seems that there is an eternity to explore with this game. There are many things to do and most of it is through a handy cell phone. The GPS system is my favorite feature in this game as it is very helpful in getting around the huge city. I like the mini games as well such as bowling and pool. Going to a bar and coming out stumbling drunk is unique as well. The controls while this is going either walking or driving is impressive as the feeling is captured perfectly.
The targeting system is an improvement as well. It's easy to target enemies as well as individual parts (arms, legs, etc....) and the targets react in realistic ways.
I haven't had a chance to go online as of yet but, when I do I'm sure I'll enjoy every mode available as it's always been a hope of mine to enjoy this mode.
I love the graphics the most. As time passes from day to night or when it rains it just feels like you're actually there.
I cannot put this game down but, I must if I'd like to stay gainfully employed. For those of you who doubt I suggest you go out and get this game whether it be for the PS3 or xb360 get this game. For I cannot understand why this game WOULDN'T be in EVERYBODY'S collection. It's an OUTSTANDING game and it is an experience like no other. It was worth every delay it ever had in the making and I can only wonder what Rockstar*/Take-Two will do next.
I can promise you that I'll be playing this game for a very long time and I do hope that everybody who owns the current next gen system goes out and gets this game. For all those involved in the creation of this game please know that I appreciate every effort and all the time put into this game and do what to say I thank you. For you all have created a timeless masterpiece....
