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

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.Read full review

This game looks WAY better than GTA games of the past. The motions, environments, lighting and everything are significantly more realistic, including the outrageous blood and guts factor (gotta see it!!). However, the drawback for ME is the somewhat sloppy and loose controls. The reaction time is a little slow also, but the part that is my complaint is how loose the controls are. Seriously, too loose. I'll list the good & bad, and you can make up your own mind. The Good: Updated graphics Realistic Gore (Crashes, Injuries, Accedents, Bloodshed etc.) Realistic Characters (Motions, Voices, Reactions etc.) The Bad: Controls (Too Loose, Slow Reaction Time) The Music (They decided to NOT pay for "real" music this time.) Driving (It's too easy to spin out and/or crash which CAN kill you!!!) The Ugly (but awesome): The BLOOD!! Body parts fly, blood flows and splatters and the dead bodies will roll!!! Basically, if you can get used to the controls, this game is awesome. If this review was helpful, insightful or informative, please rate it accordingly to help other eBay members see it.

I like the amazing connection this game has to what I recall as "real life" as a young adult. I am older but, I knew the streets and this nails it at insofar as New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles street attitudes. Plus, it's just FUN. I believe it is a healthy attitude to get out destructive desires through games ( I am 57 !) and this is one of the best I know to do that. I could live without the cell phone and I would like to have much more accessibility to entering stores and businesses through out this adventure. I loved Duke Nukem, Doom and this brings a lot of that energy while being much more realistic in my fantasy. Steal a car, shoot some idiot for blocking you or smarting off. Basic real life we wish we could do but can't and don't. Get that all here and FUN. Enjoy Andy in Maine I rated it good but, in fact, it is excellent overall. Good because it could be so much more fun if I could duck into businesses, stores, houses along the way. Don't leave the hospital. Go back in and practice mayhem and destruction. Best way to learn to use the control pad, weapons and moves necessary out on the streets.: )Read full review
This is a great new addition to the GTA Series. It has its pro's and Con's. It has great new features to where you can actually watch a television show in the game! How cool is that! All new way to meet girlfriends, via The Internet Cafe also. Has plenty of missions, and a great storyline. It also have improved shooting to where you can actually take cover and shoot from behind something. What I didn't like about it, is how they took the gym thing out. In san andreas you could actually go to the gym and work out. You could get your character beefed up, this game doesn't have it. I wish they woulda kept the concept of your skills get better the more you use them. So they did leave out some really cool stuff, but added others. So I rated this a good! Its a BUY! Not a rent
