Cars are fun to drive around the city and have realistic physics. Overall, it depends on your child. If you purchase this game for your child, or just have it lying around, I think it's worth putting in and playing. Perhaps keep the volume low if you're concerned about language and watch over your child as they play. Once again, it depends on your child and you definitely know them better than anyone online writing a review for this game.
Kid, 11 years old March 25, That should be obvious, BUT This game is not what the media makes it out to be. For example: A lot of people think this is a no good game that lets you go about killing at your own will. While yes, the player can choose to kill. They can just drive around.
I am pretty mature so I can handle the swears. Like I used to flinch when I heard someone curse. The player can deny or accept this request. No inappropriate clubs or revenge. Now for the violence, I touched on this in the opening. Like yeah, if you shoot someone in the head blood comes out. But like maybe 10 red lines. Then a very unrealistic blood puddle will come out of the corpse. For example, yesterday I seen 4 people smoking near a Walmart. So, yeah.
Right as Niko finished saying that the police figured out it was a prank and went to arrest Roman the one making the prank calls but Roman got away. So that makes Niko a positive role model. That concludes this review. Hope I helped a family out there! Positive role models. Teen, 16 years old Written by FluxCapacitor February 22, M-Rated, but with moral consequences. There's sex, killing people, committing violent crimes.
However, unlike other games in the series, IV explores the moral side of all this. He's dragged into a life of crime in this search for prosperity.
He knows what he's doing is wrong, and isn't the morally bankrupt Trevor Phillips or other characters from the Grand Theft Auto series. It's a masterpiece of a game, and I think anyone my age should be mature enough to understand what goes on in the game without it influencing their own life. Kid, 11 years old November 10, Every game is commonly filled with Violence, Swearing, Torturing, Psychology to control other people, and etc.
Well for the people that played this game. This game is just great! It is filled with the top-notch realism, physics, Graphics, Nostalgia, and etc. The reason why is the reasons what GTA is filled with. There were also many Controversies about this. One example of controversy created by Grand Theft Auto Four is that four people began stealing and killing people, according to the NYPD, they were inspired by this game.
Kid, 11 years old October 21, Two scantily clad women can "entertain" you, and before they climb onto your lap, they gyrate provocatively and mimic the motions of having intercourse with each other.
You can also have sex with your girlfriend at home, where you can hear but not see the specific act. Pushes the envelope for graphic language including many instances of "mother f--ker," "f--k," sh-t," "assh-le. Game offers more than songs in the GTA IV soundtrack heard over the in-game radios and they can be tagged within the game by using the in-game cell phone.
If the player is registered at the Rockstar Socil Club, they will then be offered a link to purchase the song from Amazon. Players can get drunk and drive in this game, but their vision will be blurred. They can drive around with pot-smoking characters. Parents need to know that this game isn't for kids in any way. This new version is as controversial as its predecessors, letting you lead a life of crime, shoot police officers, drink and drive, and have sex with prostitutes.
It features pole dancers and lap dancers at a men's club and is laced with profane language that pushes the envelope much of it peppered throughout the over songs played on car radios in the game. The star rating given to this game is based on the quality of the gameplay within the context of adult gaming and isn't an endorsement of the violence within the game.

In fact, Niko is a scheming loudmouth who owes money to loan sharks because of gambling debts and lives in a cockroach-infested apartment the size of a walk-in closet. Plus, you'll discover a few hours into the game there are other reasons why Niko left his homeland. Played from a third-person perspective, this includes carjacking any vehicle, listening to more than a hundred songs on car radios as well as very funny DJ banter and commercials , and playing mini-games such as billiards, darts, bowling, or arcade games.
Niko can go on dates, swim, surf the Net, and purchase clothing and weapons. But it's the seedy missions that unravel the lengthy single-player story. In-person or on his cell phone, Niko will be asked to perform missions that include escorting Roman's friends, taking out drug dealers, evading police cruisers, racing to one end of the city before someone else, flying a helicopter, or retrieving stolen money.
And how you go about a mission may vary, such as carjacking a cop cruiser to gain access to the police computer to look up an informant: you can call on your phone so a police car comes and then take out the cop; shoot at pedestrians until the police come; or stealthily steal a cop car from the police station. For the first time in the series, Grand Theft Auto IV offers high-definition graphics, including smooth animation and lip-synching, varying weather effects, and a new physics engine that models everything authentically.
This sequel also adds more hand-to-hand combat and optional in-car GPS to help you better navigate this city. Without question, though, the biggest new feature is something gamers have been asking about for years: multiplayer. Of course, the controversy this game will garner is unavoidable. As with past GTA titles you can shoot at cops, drive into pedestrians, or request "services" from a prostitute and a lap dance from a stripper.
This sequel is also laced with plenty of foul language and you can drink and drive, though your cousin calls you a "bloody idiot" for doing so. Again, take heed of the "M"-rating. Aside from a slightly choppy frame rate at random times, where the action stutters for a bit, and hard-to-read green GPS directions on your mini-map, there is little to complain about with the gameplay mechanics of Grand Theft Auto IV. Adult gamers will find a single-player story that can easily last a month, not to mention the ability to hop online and play with friends.
In short, this highly-polished sequel will gratify adults who will get a long "bang" for their buck. At least a quad is required as this game is higly multithreaded and a decent GPU video memory is important. My only complain is the lack of Multi-GPU scaling but maybe with a better cpu the scaling would be better. Maybe a x64 bit version of the game could help boost things but perhaps it would just double the memory requirement.
Wow, I have to preface by acknowledging the immense hostility in the user score towards this game. I did not play this on the PC at the Wow, I have to preface by acknowledging the immense hostility in the user score towards this game.
I did not play this on the PC at the outset, but I have since been playing it, and although I hear it was incredibly buggy out of the box, patch 1. If you have the machine to play it, it is one of the more beautiful games for the PC, with a rich modding community behind it which tries to push the graphics even further.
The controls aren't exactly great for mouse and keyboard, but it happily accepts the gamepad, or you can use an emulator to use a PS3 pad. The game itself is pretty damn awesome, and I really have to stress how much better it looks than the console version, as well as having a "clip capture" feature similar to onlive's brag clip feature that allows you to capture and post the details of the random zany accidents you get into when crashing sports cars. I don't like that it uses the "social club", I despise all extraneous logins for any game, but you don't have to log in unless you want multiplayer.
Now that microsoft live is out of GTA IV I decided to give a honest chance to this game, obviously installing some mods to fix the atrocious Now that microsoft live is out of GTA IV I decided to give a honest chance to this game, obviously installing some mods to fix the atrocious color pallet chosen by Rockstar Games, I'd rather poke my eyeballs out with a fork than play the game with the original colors, I'm sorry!
I've already reviewed this game at great length for the Xbox ; mainly noting its dissapointment compared to San Andreas or indeed any other I've already reviewed this game at great length for the Xbox ; mainly noting its dissapointment compared to San Andreas or indeed any other GTA except maybe GTA III.
If you're looking for single player content, this game simply doesn't have any. Multiplayer is new and it has got some good variety but somehow doesn't feel right either. The reason for this is down to the controls. Only official Xbox controllers are supported, and the auto-aim means multiplayer has almost zero skill in combat.
It's still fun to play though occasionally due to the variety, which includes three co-op missions. So if you decide to use mouse and keyboard, you'll find the default button mapping to be pretty much perfect. However, the one thing that ruins the whole experience of making it fluent; and this applies more on PC than console - is the extremely clunky response for movement and the camera.
Sometimes you feel that you have no control over Niko. My final complaint is with the stability issues and lack of optimisation for PC.
Yes, you can still have your own music station as before, but the graphics are far too inefficient. Don't get me wrong, this is an amazing looking game even for today, but it is in desperate need of anti-aliasing even at x, especially given the nature of the game. If you don't have around 1. But the draw distance consumes ridiculous amounts of VRAM.
The Xbox version, despite getting crap framerate, had at least more consistency in graphics. Screen tearing, freezes, pink textures, AI behaving weird, bugs, glitches - anything you can think of is present. There's also the problem that there is no cfg file where you can adjust anti-aliasing or set a frame limit.
You can manually limit the frame rate by entering a command line into a shortcut pointed at the executable, but this still doesn't make for smooth gameplay experience. Even commandline fixes within the game directory can't fix the random freezing, crashing and sometimes textures not loading bugs, which is extremely frustrating. OK that's me done complaining. Alternate versions The PC version has several changes from the Xbox and PS3 versions such as: The ability to change several in game graphics settings.
User reviews 71 Review. Top review. Perhaps the best video game ever. I have never given anything a 10 out of In my 33 years of life, I've thought a perfect rating was unachievable. The craftsmanship in this title is simply stunning. It is clear that it was designed and implemented by people who really wanted to produce something that was revolutionary, and without skimping on the details. I'm not much of a gamer, so I can't compare this to other titles.
But what I can say is that I have been, and continue to be surprised with what the game is offering. It seems almost limitless. From AI cars flashing their high beams when you're driving on the wrong side of the road on a collision course with them, to the seamless integration of the radio stations with the world you influence, to.
And then there's the characters. Niko is great. He's likable, despite being a murderer. As the story progresses, you find yourself empathizing with him more and more, which is something I'd never expect from a video game. Some of the other characters are annoying, but they ultimately lend themselves to a plot that is just fantastic. I would recommend to anyone playing the game to not seek out spoilers; the story is compelling and full of surprises, to the point where a plot turn will have you sitting in your easy chair, holding your controller, dropping your jaw saying "wow", with a little bit of drool rolling down your face.
It's that good. Players of previous iterations of the GTA franchise will be happy to know that Niko is not some dopey guy who does whatever anyone tells him without reason.
