The best version of GTA.

It has flaws, the combat is iffy, driving is divisive (I personally prefer it to V's), the story might try a bit too hard and the missions lack variety. However, the world here is the best Rockstar ever created for this series, it feels like a proper sandbox.

The physics here is what shines the most, getting into fist fights, running people over, crashing a car, all immensely fun. I love the soft-body destruction of the vehicles.

The story tries so hard to be gritty, it wears its inspirations on its sleeves and it is all the better for it.

The online experience had no bullshit either. Load up, here is the exact same world as single player, here have some extra weapons thrown in and unique vehicles. Nothing was locked behind a paywall and it was fun from start to finish.

Compared to what came before and after I would rather play this iteration.

PC port's pretty bad, various issues (framerate drops/stutters, random zoom-ins during cutscenes, etc.).
Rockstar launcher and Windows LIVE leftovers not helping the situation much either.
There are some fixes but for me they just ended up breaking the game more, to the point it stopped loading up.

Recomendadisimo. Si eres fan de GTA o Rockstar, o si te gustan los juegos de mundo abierto con historias memorables y buena música. Es uno de los mejores videojuegos que he jugado. Reseña completa

O jogo é incrivel, pra mim na questão de historia é o melhor gta. O porte no pc é um lixo, teve um bug que me afetou pela maioria do jogo que é de so ter carros de policia

Extraordinaria deconstrucción del sueño americano, plasmado en una nota gris arriesgada e inconfundible.

Rockstar nunca va a volver a hacer un juego como este, ya que, debido a las dinámicas empresariales que rigen la industria del videojuego, ha encontrado una zona de confort en la casualización.

Gran Theft Auto IV es, por tanto, una gema única en su tipo, un desgarrador testamento de desengaño y crudeza que sintetiza a la perfección el espíritu de la franquicia, al mismo tiempo que apuesta por una intimidad nunca representada.
