After completing this, and giving it its due time online, I feel cheated. Don't get me wrong, its still a really good game that anybody who owns a 360 needs to have, but Rockstar have let us down with this title.

The negatives:
Lets look at the driving, its just to realistic. You have to slow down to take corners you can't just zoom round them, unlike in previous GTA games. For me, I feel as though it has taken away alot of the fun of the feel of driving within the game. Also you can't customize the cars and add nos to them. As you will be driving for more or less 50% of the time, I feel this is one major let down.
Another bad point is the handling of the character, for some reason I just don't like the way he walks and you have to hold A to jog, then tap A to run. I feel as though they should of made pushing the analog stick forward a little bit to walk, push it all the way forward to jog, and hold A to run. I didn't like the way they did that ither.

I thought that there could of been alot more weapons added to this game aswell, like remotely set off mines, or other hitting or stabbing weapons apart from just a knife or baseball bat.

The positives:
The story is really simplistic and easy to follow, which I like in a game, because after all a game is a game, and not a film, and what makes a game is the gameplay, not the story, so storys in games are always better if they are more simplistic.
The things to do aside from the main missions, and there is alot of them are totally new in this one. For example you can use the internet (in game internet) and find girls to date, and become your girlfriend, I thought that was a nice touch. You can also buy cars off the internet, which I also thought was cool.
You've also got your races, and other side missions or side things to do, and I thought that the way in which you access your game and all your menu's in your phone (which you can also download ringtones for off the in game internet) was a nice touch aswell.

But there isn't really anything that properly makes this game a really good 10/10 next gen amazing best of the best GTA game. For me, San Andreas has been the best for the PS2. I liked the fact you where in a gang in the ghetto in the USA and had alot of fun on that game. But not just for being a GTA game, GTA4 is a great game in its self, and one you must own.
