GTA IV

Ok... Grand Theft Auto 4, supposedly the best game ever according to most people. But I'm not like most people. In fact, I'm part of the growing minority that thinks it is the most overrated game this side of the millennium. I'll list its pros, and then its cons.

So, What's good?

Pros

• Almost real-life graphics, you'll really think your in New York

• The story line is one of the best I've seen in games, and it creates the coolest protagonist ever yet, Niko Bellic is like an evil James Bond.
  

• The Music, Script and Voice acting are top notch, the way the characters act make you forget you're not watching a movie.
  

Now whats bad...

Cons

• Besides the main missions and a couple on the side, there is nothing to do, the city feels completely empty, plus, the online is fun for all of about 4-5 hours, after that, keep playing CoD4.
  

• Graphic issues, like scenery pop-ins or some drops in frame rates... The kind you'd expect from a mediocre game.

Overall I think that, whilst this is a great game, Rockstar have taken a big step back from the progress made since GTA 3. The game lacks a special something that turns good games into legends. My advice would be buy it, your missing out otherwise, just don't expect the 10/10 everyone seems to want to rate it. My verdict is 9.4/10.

I'll argue with fanboys on the forums... Meszamil
