grand theft auto 4 short and sweet game review

Last week the hands down biggest game of the year came out. Grand Theft Auto IV is the first true sequel to Grand Theft Auto III and is a game that is not rivaled in ambition or execution. Built from scratch for Xbox 360 and PS3 it blows away all previous GTA game in scope and scale.

The story follows Niko Bellic a Serbian veteran of the Yugoslavian civil war who came to Liberty City to meet up with his cousin Roman. Roman is a screw up who has gotten fat, lazy and in debt with various organized crime groups. Niko is quickly drawn into the criminal underworld and has to do the dirty work of the gangsters and eventually take them on and take them out. Unlike other GTA protagonists Niko is pretty personable and the story is truly compelling.

The graphics are a massive step beyond previous GTA games and previous GTA like games on the Xbox 360. I did like Saints Row and I absolutely loved Crackdown but now that GTA IV is out I don't see myself spending my time to go back and play them when I can now play GTA IV.

The gameplay is a pretty decent evolution of previous GTA games. There is new enhanced driving and shooting game play mechanics but anyone that has played GTA games should have no problem picking up and getting a hold of GTA IV. It takes criminal violence and action to new grounds
