Very good but not as good as the hype
User Rating: 9.5 | Grand Theft Auto IV X360
GTA IV is a great game but in some ways it's not as good as GTA San Andreas. You can't go into people's houses and rob them like San Andreas and stuff like that. The city in GTA IV isn't as big as San Andreas but there are some things to do there like: play pool, strip clubs, bowling, buy clothes etc. But you can't get haircuts, tattos and some of the stuff from San Andreas as I thought they would keep that type of stuff. Also the game is kind of short as well as I was expecting it to be longer and the story of the game isn't as good as San Andreas, maybe that's what took a bit of my fun out of the game. As it's not a gang story like the previous games, it's just a man named Niko Bellic that comes from Russia and believes in his cousin to live the American Dream. He then finds out his cousin was lieing to him and his cousin get's in trouble a lot, Niko Bellic finds Russian gang members and etc on his way to earn money. The game is just about Niko getting revenge and earning money which is a kind of dull story line. I honestly think this game is way overpriced as it's not even that amazing. To be honest this game is just the same as San Andreas but if they were to keep most of the aspects of San Andreas I think GTA IV would have been a bit better.
There is a lot of different says on this game and lots of people think it's amazing while some don't. So here's a tip either try it out at your friends house or rent it first. It's just the same as San Andreas.
