If you have read any of my reviews, you will see that I am a fan of Grand Theft Auto. Ever since playing, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, I was hooked and I had big expectations for Grand Theft Auto IV and it didn't disappoint. In my opinion, I think GTA IV has the best story. Niko's tale about coming to America was original and made the story complex. You WANT to finish this game. Now, it's been 5 years and a new GTA is looming, and it certainly isn't perfect. After recently playing it again, I had forgotten how annoying it was when your "friends" wouldn't leave you alone and the "girlfriend" aspect really went nowhere. But other than that, GTA iv was THE game to get in 2008.
Cheers!
