After The Fact: Reviews Revisited

Update: Trophy Support
Posted: Dec 19, 2008 8:04 pm GMT
Not to be outdone by the Xbox 360 game's achievements system, the PS3 version of GTAIV now features trophy support. There are no fewer than 51 trophies to collect, including a platinum one that can only be earned by first getting the other 50.

    10/10 doesnt mean perfect, it means masterful.

    It really does not make any sense does it?

    wait lemme get this right... killing civilians as a domestic terrorist is fine in GTA, but a russian terrorist in modern warfare 2 makes a big fuss?

    this game could have been so much better if it wasn't so damn repetitive and more stuff to do

    By far the best game I've ever played.... But what the crap!! he said the game wasn't perfect, but he gave it a perfect rating

    "Grand Theft Auto IV isn't perfect." And yet you give it a ten............

    i agree with thetravman this is probably the most over rated franchises ever

  • gabrielkipp

    best game ever made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This 10/10 review fooled me as it did with the Assassin's Creed review. Definitely not worthy of the 10s it got, not when its less game that San Andreas was. Still a great game, maybe a 9.0 or 9.5, but nothing near perfection sorry.

    This series is overrated. I don't understand. I played through most of vice city but got stuck because of some lame glitch, i played through some of san andreas, and I beat ChinaTown wars. I find nothing special about these games. It's still fun but it don't deserve scores like this. But that's just me.

    "Grand Theft Auto 4 isn't perfect"

    Well then why the hell does it get a 10 out of 10?

    I never understood why these games (GTA) get such high praise. They're decent, to be sure, but the maximum for me would be, say, an 8.5? Probably an 8, that seems right.

    auto aim makes this game so easy lol

    GTA IV isn't one of the best games of 2008. It's THE best game, of 2008.

  • RealShotD4ny3l

    Posted Oct 15, 2009 9:12 am GMT

  • zcb4573

    Posted Oct 10, 2009 3:03 pm GMT

    If you haven't gotten this game yet there's no reason not to now that it's only $30

  • RichSnakePrice

    Posted Oct 10, 2009 2:58 pm GMT

    This was one of the best of 2008, but I still think the best GTA is either Vice City or San Andreas.

    "GTA 4 isn't perfect" Good thing it got a perfect score then...

    This is one of the best game's ever made for the Xbox, PC and PS3, this is my own little review of the game,


    The Grand Theft Auto games, have proven to be a success. As the game GTA San Andreas was astonishing as it improved the gameplay of the GTA collection. Now Rockstar has really proven it's ability to create games, as they released Grand Theft Auto IV. This massive action game has the same story line as the previous GTA games, but the game captures you from a different perspective of a Eastern European Immigrant in The United States of America called Niko Bellic. Niko travels to America in hope of promise and opportunities, but as he arrives to Liberty City he soon discovers the way of life style there is. However there is Luxury and wealth and it is there for the taking.

    This 3D graphical game has really shown what gaming is all about in a daily life style of mobs, therefore it deserves a 10/10 in my opinion.

    This is the best game on the Xbox 360. I love it, the multiplayer isn't really there but the game itself is a gem. The expansion packs make it even better. Take it from me, if you haven't had this yet then you haven't used your console to it's full potential.

  • Disturbanc3

    Posted Aug 24, 2009 7:39 am GMT

    I agree it's not a 10, It needs replay value. But easily one of the best games out there. You wont regret purchasing this one.

  • RuffRyder101
