Love this game. A great transition between the 3D era and the HD era, GTA IV aims to balance its story, and arch of its characters in masterful way. It's serious, and at times dark, tone juxtaposes well in mediocrity of modern Americana, and shows Niko Bellic's climb to reach the 'American Dream'. Stunning visuals for the late 2000s, GTA delivers on building not just a city, but world outside the city, a GTA Universe. A modern classic in every sense. 8/10 stars.
