Grand Theft Auto IV
The smash hit that made free-roaming, open world games popular is back for a ninth installment in the form of Grand Theft Auto IV. For the first time ever, experience the series in stunning High Definition on your Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3!
The Story So Far…
GTA IV takes you to a vastly upgraded Liberty City where you will follow European immigrant Nikolai "Niko" Bellic in his pursuit of the “American Dream.” Lured to the States by his shady cousin Roman, he quickly finds that things are not as he expected. As it turns out, Roman is heavily in debt to the wrong people, and Niko is now left to bail him out of trouble – by any means necessary.
Truly Next-Generation
Traditionally, the GTA series has required the completion of fixed missions before advancing in the game. However, GTA IV adopts a format where the line between main and side missions is blurred. Niko is now armed with a cell phone and his phone could ring at any time. Who knows who or what will be on the other end?
Details, Details, Details
A fully customizable Niko means you will be able to pull up to a boutique, enter the shop, choose out your clothes, and purchase them – just like in real life. Also, remember when carjacking was made easy? Well not anymore. In Grand Theft Auto IV, you will be asked to hotwire cars, meaning time is of the essence. One slip up could land you a night in the slammer. These are just some of the detailed improvements in gameplay for the latest installment of the game.
What Else Ya Got
Similar to Gears of War, a cover system has been added. The targeting system has been vastly improved over previous versions. Individual relationships are now dynamic, meaning your actions will greatly affected you relationships throughout the game. These are just a few of the ways this series will forever change how you feel about Grand Theft Auto.

4 of 5 Great addition to my xbox 360 collection Sunday, June 22, 2008 A Gamer from Boston, Ma
Very similar to previous versions, but still a blast to play. The game looks great on my hdtv. The online component makes this my favorite gta game so far. Looking forward to the exclusive dlc for the 360. Was this review helpful?

This is my second copy of the game and, like the first one, it froze up on me 3+ times and I've had to reset the system each time. I will be returning it and will get the PS3 version instead. Was this review helpful?

4 of 5 It's Definitely Grand Theft Sunday, May 18, 2008 JW from Columbia, South Carolina
I love the Grand Theft Auto Series, but I'm trying to be as unbiased with this review as possible. The positives are the radio stations and story line so far. I'm about 30% in to the game and it seems like it has a pretty good story line. The negatives would have to be the graphics. I was expecting a little better. The camera angles seem a little off when driving. Overall though it's a 4, because it is Grand Theft Auto. (San Andreas was the best of the series so far) Was this review helpful?

Great game. i live in NY and i can recognize certain neighborhoods in the game. gameplay is fun, graphics are really good only thing i dont like is that you cant fly a plane or steal a train like san adres but not a big deal. controls take a little getting use to and the driving feels more realistic. all and all a great game. rockstar rules!

5 of 5 Amazing Saturday, May 17, 2008 Steve from Philadelphia, PA
A new level for the GTA Series. Gone are the blocky graphics but the fun is still there in spades. The fun of the GTA series has always been about gameplay. Now with teh enhanced graphics the game is amazing. Was this review helpful?

after playing GTA4 i finally figured out that i've been a total jerk with the GTA games. this games is awesome!!! i owe gamers everywhere an apology for my behavior over the past years. i am truly sorry and i hope to see everyone online because i deserve a little payback from all you gamers out there. i've been a very bad person! that's why i can't file a lawsuit in FL without someone else holding my hand now, because i got on everyone's nerves. bad Jack, bad! long live violent video games!!!
