This game is a classic in every aspect. After spending a lot of time on this game, I finally completed it like I never thought I would. I am not the best at completing games but this one I found quite easy. The story is in every sense great, the characters are great from beginning to end. Basically the game is great. The thing so great about Grand 4 is that it pulls you right into the game. You get to know these characters and their lives, you get to make choices for these characters that are so difficult. Niko Bellic is a great character. He meets a lot of crazy people in his life in liberty city. In fact, that brings me onto the graphics and setting of the game. Right so, The graphics: In the original Grand theft Auto's, the graphics weren't really a big deal. All the games focus on is story, character and fun. Nor did they focus on realism. Like in Grand theft Auto: San Andreas where you can get a Jet Pack cheat. (Although San Andreas did however use certain elements of realism; like where CJ would be able to go to the gym and work out to increase his strength and to learn new fighting moves). In this game, you pretty much have a mixture of both. The graphics are amazing for a 2008 game. Most games now don't even compare to the graphics in Grand theft Auto IV. The streets, buildings, hospitals, cars are all well thought of. Its got amazing graphics.
Pedestrians: Another great thing about this game in its realism aspect is the way pedestrians act. They walk around, buy hot dogs from hot dog stands, talk to each other, do exercise. It focuses on real life a lot (this game).
Characters: This is probably the most best part of the game: The characters. Like Roman and Little Jacup, they are made very realistic. And even the part (SPOILERS) at the end where you can have everything but lose something close to you. It's just great stuff! So this is my conclusion: Go and buy it! Don't rent it, buy it! It's addictive and you probably would refuse to give it back when you rent it! When you get it, play it, love it, watch it, enjoy it!
