could have been a good game...
User Rating: 7.5 | Grand Theft Auto IV PS3
im not gonna lie, with a game like san andreas preceding it i was expecting a lot more from gta 4. Okay the gameplay is good except for the fact that u cant free aim while auto aim is on. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO UNLOCK WHEN YOU ARE DONE. There are only two sets of weapons that you can easily buy from the shop. There is nothing secret to find and nothing extra to do when you are done with the game. Also, u get tons and tons of money but you have nothing to spend it on. The whole game Niko is just like i need money, but what does he need it for? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Oh and NO TANKS, WHAT IS UP WITH THAT. There is a lack of variety with everything in this game. Oh and you cant customize anything. Forget haircuts, tattoos, working out, pimping out cars, its all gone. This game is a total letdown and is totally unfinished. You would think they would improve on the content that was included with san andreas, not dumb it down to a game worse than gta 3 content wise. Either rockstar got lazy or someone flushed the real gta 4 down the toilet by accident so they had ship out a crappy version.
Good:
-Good Gameplay with new shooting system
Bad:
-No Unlockables
-No Secret Weapons or Vehicles
-Only two melee weapons as opposed to the vast amount that were available to you in previous games (pool stick, katana, butcher knife, brass knuckles, etc. etc.)
-People Dont Actually Die When you kill them
-No Replay Value
-No Customization of Anything
-No Variety in Weapons or Vehicles
-Story wont suck you in like previous games
-Major Lack of Everything that has been included in previous grand theft auto games that revolutionized the series
-(oh and you cant slit someones throat with a knife anymore...hehe)
