Love that the player(s) can swim in this one, the helicopters are more realistic as far as flight mechanics, the low point, they have not added an "real" airplane that can fly correctly, yeah there was one in the older game but it was just a slow (almost stalling) seaplane, it would be nice to have a JET! The game is also a bit predictable and is pretty much the same as all the others as far as missions. The new side missions make it a bit more enjoyable, but you can not buy the properties as in the "Miami-type" based games, that is another turn-off. The cell phone and girlfriends are a nice touch, but since it is an adult game, you should be able to "go a bit further" with the dates, etc... ;-) Overall a great game, but I let my 10 year old play while I watch and he beat it in 2 days! So it needs a bit more of a challenge.Read full review
Anyone who cares about the story of GTA has themselves pretty delusional, and the missions are clearly just endless lists of tasks to do, but what resides within the game, a living breathing city is where the gem is to be found. Limitless fun can be had just plowing around town in a stolen car. Sometimes I try to drive like a normal civilian just to see what craziness I'll see along the way. Rockstar really nailed down the person to person interactions and you can see it in the lifelike reaction animations everyone has. The special edition pack actually has some content, unlike most special editions which are just extra dvd's of crap.
It arrived today instead of Tuesday and the only thing I didn't expect was all the bubble wrap inside the box. The game disk has a circle scratch but that's besides the point. Everything else it came with was inside and I couldn't be more happy with what I payed for it.

Jump in a car - any car, toss out the driver and go explore the city, anywhere, anytime, at your leisure.Now, the game is much more polished. The graphics are much more realistic, completely state-of-the-art, as is a new "physics" model in game. The way characters move and react now is much more fluid and realistic. Great Graphics, great game play, great sound effects and music. While the game has grown up with substantially better physics, graphics and combat, there are some wonderfully familiar GTA touches left in. One, thankfully, is the cars. There's a new movement program in the making this game great. If you get hit by a car, you'll react differently each time as the reaction has been made to completely mirror human movement. Get hit in the knee, or the head, or the shoulder, and you'll react differently to differently each. They're still rough to drive, and too many collisions will set you on fire and will ultimately explode them. Some of the cool moment is just walking around the city. The game is very violent and promotes hookers and dealers and cop killing, however that is nothing new to most players of the Grand Theft seris. Grand Theft Auto IV is completely astounding and is not recommend for children under 18. Liberty City and its citizens really are the stars of this game though. It looks, and reacts, amazingly real. If you just sppok a random stranger on the street, some people will drop their belongings and run away, others will come to their aid and even challenge you physically. This is where you can either fight for no reason, and bring the police out to look for you, or back down and move on.It's an adult game with strong sexual content which requires having sexs with hookers to get your energy back once you are hurt.The graphics are are among some of the best as this game really show off what the PS3 can really do.The sound effect are good too a lot are recycled from old game.This game can even be played on line with head on head action against other players.Make no mistake, this is a violent game. It is about organized crime and completing underhanded and illegal missions. This is a must have The extra, like the bag CD and art is nothing special just something to make you spend more. Jusy buy the game.Read full review
GTA IV is a masterpiece of a game. Being able to find a sealed Special Edition copy of it for Xbox is dope as the Xbox does backwards compatibility
