Gameplay (out of 10)= 3

Grand Theft Auto IV is praised by most people, but not me, one perfect reason is the same old GTA gameplay, the gameplay in GTA IV is pretty much the same as the gameply in all the other Grand Theft Auto games, it's all shooting and stealing cars and stuff, it's fun during the first 15 minutes, but after that it's clear that it's something that has lost it's sense of enjoyment during the PSP's Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories game.

Graphics (out of 8)= 6

The graphics is probably one of the only very few improvement of the Grand Theft Auto game, the game almost looks realistic, but the problem with it is that some cars don't look real, or that there are allot of characters that look alike, and sometimes there next to each other, those two errors kept the game away from looking realistic, but otherwise, the graphics is probably the only thing to look forward to in this game.

Presentation (out of 8)= 2

The game circles around an immigrant from Bosnia named Nikko, who is trying to find the American dream, which was honestly a stupid story for a video game, but then after that, Rockstar games randomly decides to let gangs and mobs attack him, probably the only ups to the story is the fact that people know that there will be allot of action, and the fact that the main character is not a gang member, unlike all the other GTA games, but those two minor ups to the story can't make me forget the fact that this story is one of the dullest stories I've heard for a video game.

Lasting Appeal (out of 8)= 2

There is pretty much nothing to do in the game except for stealing and shooting, there was not really any major attraction that will make the player keep going for more, the missions are boring, and the free roam has lost it's touch in this game.

Sound (out of 6) = 5

The Sound is another thing to be pleased by in this game, it all mostly sounds realistic, but except for the fact that gun shots are heard from very far distances.

General Review (out of 40)= 17

Overall, the 4th installment of the GTA series was a waste of time, a complete disappointment with the same old generally that got boring, the dull story, or the fact that there is not much to do while free roaming, the game is disappointing, with very little ups, it's the worst GTA game and one of the worst PS3 games I've ever played.
