The most anticipated game ever, Grand Theft Auto IV will revolutionize gaming. You play as Niko Bellic, an Eastern European immigrant to Liberty City with a murky, violent past. Hoping to start a new life in a new country, Niko arrives on the docks and is met by his cousin, Roman. Roman’s promises of ready wealth and easy women turn out to be exaggerations and Niko must quickly adjust to a hard life. But this is America, and Niko wants his slice of the American dream. With perseverance and hard work, he just might grab it.

I got GTA4 this morning (Amazon dropped it off at 7am!) and put bluntly, its the best game i've played in years. The special edition comes with some pretty cool stuff aswell, the art book is pretty interesting, the CDs great, the bag might come in handy one day, the lockbox thingy also might be handy and the keyrings really nice!!
Getting onto the game:
The graphics are really good, not the best, but definatly more than good enough. Its the level of detail that shocked me, everything from pedestrians being individual, to when you get into a car at night, an interior light comes on when the door is open.
The campaign will keep me busy for weeks, the storys really deep, and even once its all over, theres always online multiplayer!! Theres also up to a 4 player co-op mode, so you can get all your mates over too!
The new cars look great, all the characters have really deep storys and you feel like you can asociate with them. Niko's background reveals itself more and more as the game progresses, so I find myself constantly learning new bits about him!
And the best part... It's hilarious. Mostly little things like an internet cafe called TW@, to the ragdoll physics of when you "accidently" hit a pedestrian!
This gets a solid 10/10 from me, and I would definatly recommend it to any over 18 (its pretty gorey!!) Definatly the best title in the series (in my opinion).

Enough about the game its amazing and you know it if your looking at this deal.
The BAG - Its small, well made, stylish and has plenty of pockets, but it is small, and weak, you cant really use it for school/college but as a sports bag it could be useful.
The BOOK - The images are really interesting, you get concept art and then CGI transformations and such, it looks really good.
The CD - No big names, Prodigy help on 1 song. There quite good but not to my taste, more of a rnb, rap and eastern europe style.
The LOCKBOX - Sturdy, well built and is like the tardis, its bigger on the inside. It can store quite a few xbox games with ease, around 10. You get 2 keys which is a plus as i always loose things like that.
The KEYRING - I think its pewter, good casting although mine had some dips from flaking when it was made. Its quite a strong keyring aswell.
I bought this mainly for the bag and lockbox, the bag was too small for my needs and i think would break if i used it to put all my college folders and boots in. The lockbox is great though i have no quarrels there.
I'd Pay £20 for this which after the £40 game is what your spending.

GTA IV is an incredible undertaking. It is the most complex world Rockstar have ever created and the characters that fill it are incredibly well drawn.
However, looking at it now with the benefit of hindsight I don't feel like it has aged very well.
At the time Rockstar were lauded for creating such a mature product but I feel that they lost some of the fun that makes GTA so compelling.
If you're looking for a good open world experience now I recommend Saints Row The Third, though you could do much worse than GTA IV.
The special edition version was, like all special edition versions, entirely unnecessary. The lock box was pointless and the holdall was shoddily manufactured.

A game you can pick up and have some fun
Like most games you can have fun but GTA is made for serious gaming but also fun. Running round the streets creating madness is all apart of the fun. Great story line.

GTA IV - will it be good or just another GTA
I don't doubt Rockstar but I think that I will either love this game or not buy anymore computer games. Lets be honest it's all getting a bit too formulaic isn't it?? Read more
