GTA 4. Good or Bad?

I love the Grand Theft Auto series with a passion. This being said, it just seem like GTA 4 was not reaching the level of greatness of all the other ones. When 4 first came out, it was like Oprah giving out new cars (you get a car, and you get a car, and you get a whale), and people was excited with the new storyline, online play, and just to play it. But after a few months, people was saying that it was not all it was crack up to be and selling the game back to game shops. Is GTA 4 bad...or is it that it take a while for it to reach the greatness of the other ones. Will it be another legend in gaming history or will it faded away. Please comment.

Even our favorite British game reviewer is thinking this.

Sorry about the poll. Trying to fix it.

Too late to fix it. Sorry.

Dont worry about it, it is good

what was wrong with it?

he didnt want to hve a poll

I found GTA IV to be the most polished title of the series, and its multiplayer was a welcome addition, but I'm still partial to Vice City's day-glo aesthetic and totally bitchin' soundtrack.

*laughs sarcastically*

I voted for the first set of lines.

And 0! is off the mother fucking chain. Yahtzee makes my wednesdays worth it.

I glad you like it Dogysamich. And yeah, I do not think I miss a Zero Punctuation yet.

I've kind of given up on the GTA storylines (they're not bad, I'm just easily distracted in the game), so the only time I play these games is when I want to randomly run around and cause chaos. So I do think that GTA IV is a great game when you have some time to kill (no pun intended). I don't know that much about the story though.
