Intro:
This has been one of THE most anticipated game of 2008. If you love blood and senseless killing with a good storyline and great online playing, you will LOVE this game. I personally have not gotten very far into the game because I'm busy exploring every part of Liberty City, based of NYC.
Story:
You play as a Russian character named Niko Bellic. His cousin, Roman Bellic, has inspired Niko to come to America for riches and a promise of a mansion. When Niko arrives by boat in some bay you begin your first "mission". Roman tells you to drive his car to his house. When you arrive there you find an old dirty apartment with 2 rooms! Roman convinces you that you two are on the way to becoming rich and popular. You try to help him escape loan sharks and many more exciting missions. You will get calls from him on your cell phone to go to a strip club or to pick him from somewhere. You can accept or Decline, it doesn't alter the ending much though.

Controls:
This game has one of the weirdest controls I have ever seen. R2 (PS3) to accelerate and L2 (PS3) to reverse and many more weird controls like holding X to run and tapping it to sprint. After a while you get used to these so its not that bad but sometimes I try to use O to brake but all it does is bring up a cinematic view (its a view in which it looks like you're watching a driving cut scene but you are still controlling the vehicle.)
Gameplay:
GTA IV has alot of great gameplay. At first the game feels a bit weird if you played the past GTA games but in a few missions you will be addicted to this game. This game allows the player to make choices in missions, like "Should I kill him? Or let him live" Your decisions will alter what will happen next but in the end you get almost the same outcome. GTA IV has many new features such as your cellphone,using the internet, the cover system(and blind fire) and much more. For the first time you can use the police cars for more then the siren. You can get into the police computer and track down criminals to make some extra money or just to check if you have made the "Most Wanted" list. In fire truck you can use the hose as a weapon which does no damage but it is always fun to hear the remarks made by the pedestrians. This game will have you playing the story mode over and over even after you beat it to answer "What if..." questions you had in the story mode before.

Overall Score:
8.0/10
This game is not perfect, but it is close to it. It deserves the 9.5 it just got.
UPDATE: This review was made when I first got the game. A few weeks into gameplay you might be addicted, eventually it will get boring even the multiplayer. I have updated the overall score it used to be 9.5/10
For the type of matches I haven't played: They will be updated as soon as I do
