Niko is my favorite GTA protagonist, and the story and characters are just as great as SA's (probably even better), but everything else is just worse.
This is the point where Rockstar tried to go for realism and that means clunky, weighty movement and realistic car handling that feels really slow.
90% of the missions are just "go there and kill people" and there's very little side content, and even less of that is actually fun to do.
The physics are fun as fuck though and it's sad that GTA V nerfed them heavily.

Goddamn, what a good game. I really love the dark atmosphere of Liberty City, and how it perfectly mirrors the dark tones of the main storyline. IV arguably has the best GTA radio, maybe only Vice City topped it musically. The main theme is absolutely amazing though. In the whole GTA series, IV has the best characters and plot, with Niko being one of the best game protagonists of all time.
