Simplesmente o melhor GTA e o meu GTA favorito. Apesar de ser bem mais sombrio e melancólico, ainda sim é muito divertido andar por Liberty City. A história é simplesmente uma das melhores que a Rockstar já criou, apesar do protagonista ser menos carismático que outros personagens de jogos anteriores, ainda sim é um ótimo protagonista.

Porém, o protagonista real desse jogo é a cidade. Liberty City é linda porém corrupta. É simplesmente terapêutico só sair andando ou dirigindo a noite e ver como cada detalhe desse lugar foi feito e pensado com carinho. Cada beco, cada interior foi feito para mostrar o quão essa cidade é suja e cruel. Uma das melhores cidades na minha opinião por ser simplesmente uma cidade pequena, mas muito densa.



The gameplay is so good and the story has their potential, but the missions r too repetitive, go there and kill someone...

Where should I start?

Normally I don't do things like that but this time I have to.
I never played GTA IV when it got released and decided to catch up on that.

I played the PS3 version (because I don't play on PC and still have my PS3 kicking) and oh boy....does this look like shit.
No seriously, the PS3 version is on today's standards (2023) an utter disaster. Everything is blury, it runs most of the times between 10-20 fps but the load times are not as bad as I feared.

It diminished the fun I had with the game and I would recommend to play the PC version because even without mods the vanilla version is far superior

best story for the gta games and fun open world

Never before has a single mistake effected a game's quality as much as GTA 4. At it's core, GTA 4 is a spectacular game that's unfortunately utterly ruined by a lack of checkpoints, making the game borderline unfinishable.

I rarely mark a game down for being too hard, but GTA 4 can be outright unfair in later story missions, and losing 20-30 minutes of progress to an off-screen death makes GTA 4 an absolute chore to play.


Story starts interesting but barely limps to the end

Eu só consegui jogar gta iv na casa de um tio meu q era fã de jogos, ai eu acabei mal conseguindo jogar. Mas eu achava muito bom dirigir pelo mapa

blud wanted to be GTA V so badly

Ehoui c’est bel et bien le meilleur gta

The first GTA game that was fully HD.
Back in the day, I spent many hours in this rendition of Liberty City hanging out with my friends, bowling, crashing every single car because the driving was very bonkers...Those were the days, I tell you.
However, playing this entry in 2023 feels quite different after I removed my rose tinted glasses. This game was a victim of the early 2000's color palette, meaning you'll only see blues, greys or browns through the whole experience (which suits the game well, since the main inspiration is New York).
The shooting mechanics/sound effects are great, but the driving feels awful compared to the one implemented in the sequel a few years later.
That being said, the only thing that drove me to play this game again was the story. Probably the best one out of the GTA franchise due to the darkness and realism (mostly) of it's characters.

ej trudde at ditte var gta 5 når ej var 10

not done yet but thoroughly enjoying the ride

Welcome to America! So this is what the dream feels like? This is the victory we longed for.

I have a lot of history with this game. From initially playing it as a friends house on the XB360 when I was 13, I was blown away by this game. It certainly did not feel like anything that GTA 3, Vice City or San Andreas had to offer. As a kid I used GTA IV as my playground and never really thought about the story. Then came along GTA the complete edition. I managed to persuade my father to buy me this game as I was 15. When I got this game on my PlayStation 3 I was able to really get into the story a lot more than I did at 13 but I felt like the story although being good, did not catch my attention as much as I still used GTA as more as a playground to do all the naughty things. I still remember some key elements in the game but I felt like it just came and went.

Coming to replay this in 2023, I felt like I have matured more and I am able to enjoy the story and its city elements, gone is the whole playground aspect of me trying to do all the whacky things this game offer. I believe GTA IV is the best Rockstar has to offer in terms of a gritty and dark GTA. I felt like I could "Relate" more to the Niko Bellic. Although he is a criminal he still had some tough choices to make. Flawed and sympathetic as he is violent. The other games do not offer this kind of character motivation than maybe GTA Vs Franklin. It really felt at times I was dealing with the consequences of my actions.

This is also a very DENSE & ALIVE city. I felt like anytime I went onto my next mission there was something always happening. This is certainly something that the other GTAs did not offer and was actually a HUGE improvement. Every Island felt connected as you were going through the story mode. it always felt seamless. Just hearing other people and their 2008 cellphones just reminds me of how much we really relied on those and used Internet cafes lol. The city certainly feels dated at times but there is a Charm to it and I love it.

As for Combat and Driving. Combat is probably at its peak here. Drawing inspiration from previous games that used Tactical Cover Mechanics. GTA IV is no different. Every bullet I took really felt like it was my own fault for not checking a corner or just to see how good I am going in guns blazing. There certainly was consequences. The physics engine they use here should also receive a mention because it felt real at time if you shot someone in their hand or body they would react to where they were shot be impaired for a bit before picking up their weapon and start firing. Certainly had fun with this mechanic. As for Driving, it certainly was some getting used to. You actually feel the weight of each car and its handling. I think they went a little too realistic here but it did not deter me from ever driving and if I did not want to drive I could always use the Fast Travel Taxi Mechanic. It's certainly a hit or miss from the folks I talk to about this game but I did not mind after the 1st act of this game.


Overall GTA IV is the blueprint that Rockstar used in all of its open world games during the Generation and you can see the inspirations even with the release of GTA V. I believe this game is the best the franchise has to offer in terms of Story and its Characters. Who can forget those Iconic Loading screens and mesmerizing music. I absolutely recommend this game if you have not played this in a while especially on Modern systems where you can push it to its limits like 60 FPS and cleaner graphics.

Probably my favourite GTA game (unless GTA VI turns out to be as good as RDR2)

greatest GTA ever made ! I love Liberty City

I never really liked GTA games. I don't understand what's so fun about them at the end of the day.

Pretty easily my favorite GTA. Niko is my favorite main character, and the cast is super memorable. Plus, I really like the driving in this game. It feels like you’re trying to drive a boat through NYC and it’s a lot of fun.

I don’t know if I’ll finish my replay of this game because I’m kinda sick of super violent games, and the mission structure got kind of old after a few hours. I especially hate the missions where I have to tail cars. The driving AI is pretty bad, so those missions are super tedious.

Still a classic though and this game will always have a special place in my heart.

An attempt to be a more gritty and downcast entry compared to its predecessors. But going for a more serious tone backfires horribly and flies in the face of all the cartoonish mayhem that your average GTA player will inevitably cause on the streets.

Throw in awful car controls, ugly visuals and, most maddeningly of all, unforgiving checkpoints that make you listen to huge streams of dialogue over and over again, and you've got yourself perhaps the weakest mainline GTA entry.


Açık dünya olarak bomboş olsa da genede bir gta oyunu ve dönemi için devrimsel. Bazı insanlar oyunu pek sevmiyorlar ama ben bu oyunu 2 günde gece gündüz sırf bitirme isteğiyle oynadığımdan aralıksız 48 saat oynayıp ona göre değerlendirdim. Tatlı bir deneyimdi. Fakat her ne kadar gta oyunu olsada bu oyundaki karakterler gta 5 ve san andreastekiler kadar hatırlanası değil. Vice city deki yan karakterlerle yarışırlar. Grafikler eğer grafik modu kurarsanız güzel ama kurmazsanız benim kakamdan hallice. Oyunun fizikleri çok güzel. Silah kullanımı berbat ama maalesef. Her ne kadar nikoyu sevsemde biraz sönük bir oyun. Ama 2 günde oyunu hiç bir şeyi kaçırmadan bir hevesle oynadığımdan ve bir beklentim olmadığından full dikkatli oynadığımdan ilginç bir şekilde zevk aldım.

Great story with visceral combat, along with fun mods

O jogo é absurdo, a história é EXCELENTE, o Nico é um personagem maravilhoso, varios personagens carismaticos, uma ambientação incrivel, a cidade de Liberty City por mais cinza que seja, guarda uma vibe MUITO boa, amei demais tudo isso

agora vamos falar do real problema? que port RIDICULO esse de PC. é PATÉTICO DEMAIS ESSE PORT, simplesmente dropando FPS no meu PC com uma config otima, jogo bugando TODA HORA, eu NÃO CONSEGUI FAZER A FINAL DE PULAR NO HELICOPTERO DO PEGORINO PQ LOGO ESSE MOMENTO O JOGO BUGA E NAO DEIXA EU SUBIR, tive que ver esse pedaço no YT pq o jogo simplesmente não deixa eu terminar ele

o pior port da história do PC, é simplesmente patético o trabalho da rockstar nesse port, é ridiculo o quanto esse port estraga a experiência do que estava sendo uma das aventuras mais fodas que eu estava tendo nessa saga GTA

o primeiro jogo que não deixou eu terminar ele, e olha que joguei mafia 2 remaster, que tem sim um port porquissimo, mas esse aqui deixa qualquer homem simples parecendo o coringa.

vai tomar no teu cu Rockstar
