GTA IV is most favorite in our area. It is hot favorite. I mostly played it on PC. I had a great fun while listening to the radio stations and driving the fastest car ever introduced in previous versions of GTA. Developers must worked hard to develop such a game with amazing graphics and features.

As a game, I thoroughly enjoyed GTA IV. When it comes to Grand Theft Auto, generally you have two ways for gameplay (excluding online mode). You either follow the storyline, completing missions while unlocking achievements. Or you basically free roam and go nuts on the open map.

The beginning of GTA IV's storyline captured my attention, as well as throughout the first part of the game. However, I didn't really get where the whole point of the story was going. A Russian man moves to America where his cousin is already living, looking to find a better life. Only to get caught up in the underworlds of Liberty City. Ends up secretly dating an intelligence agent, only to be led down of a series of hitman task that doesn't really lead anywhere except revenge and despair. Feels like Rockstar Games sort of got lost midway through?

As a whole, however, I must say I enjoyed GTA IV better than V. More time, energy, and detail was put into the making of IV than V. What they basically said for GTA V is: "Let's build a bigger map, create a storyline with three different characters to switch between, and make the game easier for 13 years olds to play". GTA IV required skill in shooting and driving. As well as incorporated my favorite in-game radio station system.

One of my favorite games of all time, in my opinion!

GTA IV is an enjoyable game but is definitely not as good as other Grand Theft Auto games. The gameplay becomes a bit repetitive towards the middle of the game. It's always the same. Go to one of your friend's house, he'll give you a mission, go to the mission, shoot the bad guys, come back. The missions were all very similar. And to make things worse, the story is not very interesting either, so you end up not caring much for the main character (or for any character at all). And whose idea it was to remove airplanes from the game. I get it, Nico was in the army so he knows how to fly an airplane, and it wouldn't be realistic for him to be able to fly jets and other stuff. But come on! Since when does somebody play GTA for the realism. Like I said, GTA is a very enjoyable game, but compared to other GTA games is not quite on the same level.

Exactly how I feel! GTA IV lacked the imagination and creative (as well as unrealistic aspects) I was expecting. GTA IV inside GTA V would be a nice combination (if that makes sense).
