  Liberty City may not have been San Andreas, but it was a dark city for a dark story. Perfectly designed. <br>Could you imagine Niko’s story spreading over Mount Chilliad?<br><br>I also feel the lack of customisation was deliberate too. <br>Yeah, you could have a San Andreas or a GTAV level of customisation and activities, but is that what a former Balkan soldier looking for revenge have done? You could see them hanging around with family and making friends for benefits, but I couldn’t see them BMXing or pissing about on a Jet Ski. &nbsp;John Marston participated in relevant activities of a character of the time, place and the story. He didn’t frolic in water (partly because he’d drown) because that’s not what you imagine Marston doing. <br><br>The plot moves in a new direction: improved graphics, less cartoony, meant an improved story line. The characters looked real and the story behind them were real. <br><br>I LOVED the darkness of the story and I thought everything in the game reflected that. <br>I wish it would come back on the PS4. I miss the game

  I once jumped off the skyscraper and survived because I hit a street lamp.

  A detail i really love about the games is how when you do a mission that involves police officers or has a big impact on the city the news report about it in the radio.

  I still think that GTA IV has the best main character, the best character development, and the best storyline of all franchise.

  Genuinely one the best GTA games imo. I enjoyed GTA 5, but the atmosphere and story of 4 were just untouchable.

  This game is so ahead of its time! Such a dark and atmospheric setting along with some of greatest characters.

  Notice that GTA IV was the only game in the franchise to have a dark storyline it had some funny moments but the rest were more comedy based

  The dark atmosphere and lack of color fit the location of the game! The Ballad of Gay Tony added some flash... The lack of custization was lack luster but who really cares? Niko isn&apos;t the kind of guy to worry about fashion, so in a way it fits the game. The car physics are a learning curve but they are fun and feel more realistic than GTAV. The map may be smallish, but for some reason feels bigger than it is. Honestly, this game holds up over time for a game that came out in 2008. The story comes together with all of the DLC&apos;s and this arguably is the best Grand Theft Auto ever made.

  I loved the driving physics in GTA 4. Unlike GTA 5, you actually had to learn how to drive and needed skill.
