IGN.com has today posted their review of the much anticipated next game in the series, GTA IV. IGN has given the game a 10/10, giving it 10s in every single category. Here’s their breakdown:
This makes the game one of IGN’s highest scored games, as they rarely hand out the perfect review. You can read the review here. Or, watch their video review below:
Also, be sure to check out Chris’s post on his visit to NY to play GTA IV early!
O. M. F. G. I don't know what I'm going to be missing. Climbing from San Andreas, drive-bys from San Andreas and Vice City Stories, the city looks beautiful, the gun sounds are awesome, it's even got that GTA2 style HUD and it doesn't even look to spoil the game a bit.
Rockstar must be proud that the game they worked out for more or less 5 years worked out better or as they expected.
*Runs off to see more gameplay videos*
Fwoarsome.
Arghh! I can't fucking wait until this game is released!
I want this now, but I gotta wait till Monday Night
Lucky you. I have to wait until mid-June for my copy.
Who the fuck said gameplay videos ruin the hype. Jesus Christ I can't wait!
Watching that game play sort of ruined it for me...I hope I could get the images out of my head before I play GTAIV.
You know it kinda looks like a 3rd person Rainbow Six Vegas..With the cover system and all..Niko runs a lot more naturally now, I wonder how he jumps.
You can't compare Rainbow Six with GTA IV
But the cover system does remind me of Rainbow Six, but GTA IV is way much better. I bet Niko can't jump as high as CJ could.

Nah, I'm not comparing the two, I'm just saying that the cover system in IV is very similar to R6V because you can blind fire, take cover behind almost everything and jump over objects.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It looks a bit to much like it.
Back on topic: The video is just great, as said before, finally a gameplay video we can watch
I wanted to wait till I had the game to see the actual game play, but this is just to juicy! I keep watching, and I probably will till it is actually in my possession. I was made a very happy guy today. It looks perfect. I laughed my ass off when Niko and that chick started banging in his car. Finally it feels like the game is within reach!
Yeah, like when he left his apartment I was expecting a load screen to show up, but it didn't. Niko could actually just walk right into the street. But even though we didn't find a bug or a glitch there is, no one can make a game without bugs or glithces.
Yeah, that's why they make sequels, of course!
A rockstar representative did say that you basically play from start to finish without load screens, so that's a huge improvement not only to GTA, but to gaming all together. Many of you probably remember the older games, half the time you would see this very familiar text "LOADING, PLEASE WAIT" or something simliar With IV, this will be a thing of the past!
Also, this applies to Midnight Club Los Angeles, another game created by Rockstar which also uses the RAGE.
Gah, just the PS3 and 360 screen shots look amazing. I can't wait to see it on the PC. Shoot, I can't wait to get it for the PS3. lol! The wait is killing me!
Yeah, the game engine is amazingly great. Another thing that makes the final touch to the realism, I saw in an video that when you go close enough to a car, you can hear what the driver is listening to on the radio. That's one of the small details that count when it comes to gameplay and realism.
I reckon this game is going to break the record of most sold games. I read somewhere 20 million copies are already sold.
I personally dont like seeing gameplay videos just because it sort of takes something away when you actually play the game, might lower the hype. This game will be good no doubt about it, I'm already thinking about the gta fter this.
I expectet a 9.5 at max but 10/10 is just amazing ... I'm waiting for the Gamespot review because I use that site more often then IGN but heh it doesn't matter, I'm really happy for those who can play it this Tuesdady, hope you have a great time ... Hopefully this will be the best game of the decade so that they will port it to the PC
The guy in the video sounded half asleep. Can't believe i didn't see this till now. Just watching the video made me cry, this game defines the term "Fucking Awesome".
He probably wants to keep playing the game, not do a stupid review. Also, reviewers sound stupid when they're all hyped up and talking about a game.
Notice the map last scene, it's flashing BLUE & RED. There goes that theory about it changing when on different islands. It probably is blue/red when you different wanted stars and/or when your health is low.
AWESOME GAME. It's too bad I don't have either a 360 or a PS3, and I can't get it, I'm only a little boy--- Not close to 18 years old.
Every part of this game is effing fantastic.
GTA IV is one great thing to live for. Too bad there's no police chases in this video, I wanna see how they are.
I can't see the video. I type the date and it says "Enter a valid birth date", either if I enter 1940 or something :S
