GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Thursday, Oct 1, 2009

Well with the headline you may assume i dint like the game but what really happen I found many frustrating aspect not worthy of the 10 giving to it by gamespot,ign,gameinformer and many sites and magazines. Let start with the story that won best story on g4tv,well is not that great,I still consider gta 3 the game in the franchise with the best story.You see the problem is it starts to slow and later on it doesn't get that exciting it feel more like a improvising than the true epic story that you may expect from the game.Apart from that the graphics are good but not excellent like mgs4 or k2.The city look alive but the problem is that the characters in the game look a bit flat when you see them around you don't feel them with the next gen look that you may expect.Also the graphical glitches are everywhere again but i think that is more like a tradition than a problem.Moving on the game is short in terms of story in my first try it only took me 18 hours, I felt that was to short. On the plus side the game play has being drastically improve, the shooting mechanism is spectacular and driving although more challenging and realistic it feels better to. With the addition of the cellphone and Internet to the franchise you feel like more near of real life but you see the give up some old things. For an example you cant get fat or slim,change your hair style and only have a limited selection of close. I felt that san adreas was a test drive to open gta 4 but in those aspects san andreas sadly is better.Side mission aren't that exciting,but they change the package feature for something better.GTA 4 problems are basically they took to step forward in many aspect of the game play but forgot what make the franchise better than other.Wait later for my full review but I have to say is not a bad game but is not excellent either.

8.0

I disagree completely. GTAIV is probably the most realistic game out. Driving, shooting, crime etc. It definitely deserved its praise. The story was the best one I've seen on a GTA game. A game thats overrated is MGS4. That game isn't even that great!!

wow mgs4 overrated well there must be many gta fans out there,mgs 4 is for the story structure and the epic clousure of 20 year old series.But i dint say gta was bad i was expecting a much better game with all of does high socres but i see you are a gta fan so i wont argue in that aspect.

@m0wen10 well i took the time to see your mgs 4 review for various reason and notice this So it is not for the impatient, run-and-gunner style gamers (like me).Well if you like to shoot thing and no story maybe you should stick to gta. Also a really enjoy the really long cut scene they give a i feeling of theatrical display, the only plus in gta is the realistic ending in terms of story and really admire that but the other thing lets say it been there done that before feeling thanx for your attention

@goyolap: I agree with you. MGS4 is the best game of all times and it desereves the 10 that it got.

i agree, gta4 was so incredibly over rated. it was an average game at best. i would never force myself to play again so no it does not deserve a 10

I wouldn't say its overrated, you have to trust the reviewers, people just didn't seem to like it because of the missing stuff from past GTA games, buta ll the added stuff seems to be forgotten. As a game in its own right, its amazing, but as a GTA game its quite different, so I wouldn't expect everyone to welcome these changes with open arms.

Also, MGS4 is FAR from overrated with all the stuff it has, it deserved the 2008 GotY award it got I say.

GTAIV was great, but not ten out of ten great for me.

Still, it was great fun

I liked everything about it except the driving. I hate the driving missions.

No comment, since I haven't played the game .

I haven't been able to get far because I was a little disappointed with it. It is very overrated and did not deserve a 10.

You can say that again. but truthfully. Nico Bellic has flair which no other GTA characters have. yeah. it may not really deserve the 10 point mark. but it sure deserves at least a 9.5 =)

Posted Oct 20, 2009 8:56 pm PT
