Grand Theft Auto IV (2008) by Rockstar

Very good game. Many people have already explored what's good about it, I'll try and pick apart the things that I didn't like as much.

The only problems I really had were with the targeting system. On occasion, the auto-lock would lock onto somebody far away, or a pedestrian, while there was somebody right next to me attacking me. Kind of annoying, but easily fixed by letting the trigger a bit looser and using the manual aim. Still, it's a bit frustrating dying this way.

Another problem was with the map. On some missions it would dictate that I go to a certain point, but the point would be above or below where the map led me. I had a particular problem with the 10th delivery mission for Jacob where I had to arrive at a tunnel at a certain time, but the map constantly led me to a point above the tunnel on a street. Very frustrating.

Other than that, this game is far an away better than every other GTA I've ever played. This rendition of Liberty City might be a bit smaller than San Andreas, but it's a lot more fun, a lot more alive, and there are many more things to do.

All in all, this game is an absolute must play with a few minor problems with combat. Buy it!
