I waited in line for the midnight launch of GTA IV. Have been working every since but between the 2 days since Ive received my copy, Ive put about 4 or 5 hours into the game. After playing the game for that amount of time, I honestly have to say that it is a good game, it has the same appeal as the other GTA’s and it is indeed a must have title.

GTA IV a 10?

GTA-IVFirst let me say, Im not one of those people that think that a a gaming review score of 10 means perfect. But I have to say that even though I think GTA IV is a really good game, a score of 10 from every game reviewers just doesn’t seem right to me, cause it is not a 10 game "across the board". key words being "across the board".

Yea I can see a couple of 10’s scattered throughout the list of scores but not as many as it is getting. Ive always had some question as to how much hype and other biases and platform/game developer favorites effect game reviewers. I think it does. And often.

GTA IV so far is the same game as all the others GTA games. The graphics looks better than the older versions but they don’t really look that great. Controls, walking around or driving, combat all are somewhat bad which in my opinion is clearly enough to take a half point off.

Ok, thats my soapbox for today. I’m still having fun so I don’t think the game is bad, just overrated…just a bit.
