Amazing game, great open world with infinite options
One of the best GTA games hands down next to San Andreas on the ps2. GTA V is fine and all but it just doesn't have the crafted quality that previous versions had and GTA IV is no exception. The vehicle damage graphics are better than the current ps4 version! Overall a great game, takes me back to 2008

Story and world detail is good; not much else. Doesn't hold up
GTA IV has a lot of driving as the title implies, and the driving... is bad. The lack of any traction makes any car driving a dumpster on ice. The characters, a few hours in, are mostly unlikable, or neutral; Niko, the player character, is the only one I've liked so far. The graphics still look okay in 2019 and my favorite bit is the amount of damage cars take, scrunching in an amount not matched even by demolition derby games. The atmosphere and colors really complement the story, which is what kept me playing for hours, to see where it went, mostly how Niko would rise up the ranks and where he'd end up. The shooting gameplay is servicable if a bit slow. If you wanted to get into GTA with cheaper titles than GTA V, I would recommend Vice City or San Andreas over this any day. It's about the same price as Vice City or San Andreas, too.

GTA IV can be a drag
I have tried many of the GTA games and this one is just as exciting. This one starts in a dark area and getting around can make you dizzy. Weapons are not too easy to find in this one. As for the adventure and excitement, this has it all and worth the price. Unfortunately I have only played this game for a short time but will tell you more as I test it further. I'm hoping this one is similar to GTA Vice City as with different characters and unusual locations. It also reminds me of the GTA San Andreas because of the long roads and quick responding cops. It still ranks high in my book. My next game will be GTA V.

One of the best in the series.
In some ways it's better than 5 and the graphics are better than the definitive edition trilogy. I don't get why people have issues with the driving mechanics. Overall enjoyable so far. Recommend.

GTA IV is better on the PS3 (my opinion)
"For those wanting to know which version looks better, the edge goes to the PS3. The textures and framerate are comparable, but the PS3 has far less pop-in. The 360 has richer colors, but the PS3 has better anti-aliasing making it look a little cleaner. Because GTA IV can preload onto the PS3 hard drive, the in-game loads are faster. Don't worry Xbox owners, the load times are rarely more than 30 seconds and don't occur very often. The slight visual edge goes to PS3, but the 360 is no slouch. Either version will do you proud".
