Really struggled to finish this bad boy, but that doesn't mean GTA IV isn't a fantastic gem that was ground breaking at its time. Liberty City is incredibly built here and I'll pick the grim condensed city over San Andreas any day. I love the overall funny goofiness that all the driving and physics allows and the overall craziness that you'll get just from being creative in free roam. Outside of a really compelling first few hours, the campaign falls into a boring formula and any interesting plot points that made the game initially fascinating take a back seat to an overall very boring and tediously long story.
