I just beat it for the 3rd time (played through it for the 4th) and decided to go Deal at the end instead of Revenge. The story in this game is really superb, top notch stuff. That's all I wanted to say.

I guess I should finish this game. My problem with GTA is that the missions are so varied that I always end up stuck at some point.

I enjoyed the hell out of GTA on the PS2, but never really looked into the PS3 version.

How is it compared to the older versions? Is it basically a cookie-cutter of the older games (which is why I never picked it up), or does it actually offer something new to make it worth looking in to?

I would have to say compared to older versions its way easier on the story.
But I wouldn't really say it offers anything new just same old same old GTA. In terms of graphics and that its alot better and has some new feature like being able to catch a cab anywhere and stuff like that.

I cannot wait for the new GTA but that will defiantly worth getting for me

Far from Cookie Cutter. The story of Grand Theft Auto IV is probably the best in the entire series, and though you may find some missions familiar, many of them are original (i.e, steal diamonds from the Smithsonian museum, or shoot up a yacht from a helicopter).

I tried playing this a long time ago but like almost all Rockstar games it's kinda slow in the beginning which really threw me of.

Also i couldn't get over how grey and dull the world is, i want a cheerful world god damn it

like all the GTA, IV is no different. ground breaking fun. like said before, it's kind of slow starting off and took Me sometime getting use to Niko. but before ya know it, your involved deep in the Russian mob scene, banging ya girlfriend or sky diving off the tallest building in LC. not to mention the DLCs were tied in beautifully. not to mention that TBoGT is the best DLC I've ever played. well worth the money. it added a few new missions like the liberty City cage fighting which was awesome. a number of the characters are beyond memorable like, Packey, Luis and amed just to mention a few. GTA IV is a must have if you haven't got it yet.

It's a bit looser version of RDR in the controls. They aren't as tight as I've come to find RDR's are. The storyline is as good as RDR, but it's a bit harder to progress along it because of that. If you are going to pick it up, make sure to get "The Complete Version" which has the 2 add-on packs included. You can tell by seeing them listed on the front of the case.

My brother-in-law was "shocked" to find out that both games were done by the same studio. He was actin' all superior about RDR before I got it, and he seemed all deflated after I told him, w/o playing it yet, that RDR was nothing more than GTA w/ a healthy dose of Clint Eastwood tossed in.

He didn't want to talk about it anymore after that.

I love this game too much.

I will be picking this back up yet again to see if I can get through it. I really enjoyed San Andreas on PS2 so I jumped right on this when I got my PS3. I was let down sadly. It just seemed to progress really really slow. This was all before i even knew (or cared) about triphies and I'm dreading the collectibles now that I do care about the trophies, haha.

I absolutely loved RDR an need to get back into that one for the DLC. I never got the DLC then because I... Well, I didn't buy any DLC then. GTA IV pales in comparison to RDR IMO.

I have spent hours and hours on all gta titles. I have 100% completion in every single one of them.
I really loved GTAIV which gameplay wise didn't bring much more to the table but this didnt matter as it was awesome.
I also loved the 2 dlc packs especially "the ballad" which was HILARIOUS.
Can't wait for GTAV!!! (I just picked up sleeping dogs just to wet my appetite for open-world awesomeness )

The game has it's pros and cons. I was a big fan of San Andreas and felt like GTA4 was missing lots of what I had come to expect...like being able to pimp of my character, his ride, his home etc. There was no bycycles, no flyable ariplanes, no tanks (yaya the noose tank, I know). No gym, no tatoos, very limited selection of clothes...and I want to build a large criminal empire and take over territories and become king crime lord head honcho number one. Oh well.

While this game lacks in story and cool bonus features like mentioned above, it makes up for with some fun game play and it really shines with the radio stations, some of the talk shows and commercials being just side bustingly funny.
