I haven't played GTA4 yet since it's not out for PC and I don't have a next-gen console. Is it pretty bad, then? I am a fan of the earlier GTAs (even Vice City and Liberty City Stories) so I will forgive the design flaws in 4.

It's not bad, by any reasonable measure. It has serious problems in many of the areas people regard as its strengths (story, "immersive" bullshit), and the action and setpieces in between almost carry it through. Almost.


I feel GTA3 is a better game. GTA4 has better graphics (who played GTA for the awesomely realistic character models?) and worse gameplay.

It's not that 4 is bad, per se. But I could boot 3 and be playing one of the vehicle-based minigames immediately, not have to get drunk with some fat slav for days just to play some Crazy Taxi.

This GTA is good for people who didn't play any of the previous ones and consequently have no idea how much worse off they are.
