Grand Theft Auto IV is a good game, but it fails to match up with the previous Grand Theft Auto Game, San Andreas. I have the game for the Xbox 360.
The graphics in Grand Theft Auto are better than the graphics in any of the previous games in this successful franchise. For the first time, the world looks very realistic and less cartoony. The animations in the game are very realistic and the lighting and shadows helps create a visually pleasing gaming experience.

Grand Theft Auto has always been recognized for having very deep storylines which will attract attention and cause controversy, and Grand Theft Auto IV follows suite.

A lot of detail was put into the pedestrians in Liberty City. The pedestrians go on about their every business such as grocery shopping, and going to work. At one point I saw a woman look both ways before crossing the street, and then she proceeded to cross and quickly backed up when another individual drove past a red light. Other things I’ve seen include of people looking in their rear view mirror prior to moving through traffic and people having conversations on cell phones.
The music is good, but since you can use your own music, I barely listen to the radio. One problem with the radio stations is that they always seem to start at the beginning anytime you die/get busted. The radio stations on the Xbox 360 are not continuous, which means that you will ...
