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.

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