I took my time with with review because I wanted to make sure I beat most of the story and got through the other modes. Anyways GTA takes place in the present time Liberty City, you might know it from GTA III. Anyways you play as Niko Bellic, a war vet from a country in Eastern Europe looking to start out a new life in America. When he gets there he finds out that life's tougher then his cousin Roman told him. So you start off doing a simple Taxi delivery service, you get caught up in Roman's problems, you meet new people, and your life explodes. You'll be doing jobs to dirty people, you'll end up killing those people. You'll be going on dates with these girls you meet through friends or on the internet. You'll do all you can to simply fulfill your mission in life. Now there's online mode, something that has never been done in the GTA series. You'll have a selection of 16 multiplayer modes but the one that most stands out, to me at least, would have to be free mode. Here you can geta huge group of friends and just cause havok or make up your own game types. Now the only problem for me online would be the lobby system. I hate how the leader will start a game leaving one team with 3 people and another with 5 on team carjack city. Other than this little problem and the sometimes annoying lag, you should have fun. So if you have a 360 and a PS3, you just have to have this game. So go out and get it.
Presentation Amazing story mode, amazing online and menus are ona cell phone to appeal to the crowd today
5/5 Stars
Graphics Great graphics with detailed character models, good car design. Most of what you'll do will look very realistic...even the lap dances
5/5 Stars
Sound All of the sound fits the environment. The number of radio stations you can listen to. The mood of Niko when he has completed a mission, failed a mission, just got out of a good date, or when he's flying out of a car windshield at 80 mph. And yes the strip club music is nice too
5/5 Stars
Gameplay While you're wreaking havok, on and offline, helping a friend, or getting lap dances at a strip club you'll be having a good time which is what the GTA series has stapled
5/5 Stars
Lasting AppealYou'll love getting through the story, you'll play for hours online and even when you beat it, you can go back to Liberty City and just rocket your way to 6 stars
