Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360)
Stepping
off a boat in the shoes of illegal immigrant Niko Bellic as he arrives
in Liberty City at the start of Grand Theft Auto IV, you can tell
immediately that Rockstar North's latest offering is something quite
special. Yes, this is another GTA game in which you'll likely spend the
bulk of your time stealing cars and gunning down cops and criminals,
but it's also much more than that. GTAIV is a game with a compelling
and nonlinear storyline, a game with a great protagonist who you can't
help but like, and a game that boasts a plethora of online multiplayer
features in addition to its lengthy story mode. It's not without some
flaws, but GTAIV is undoubtedly the best Grand Theft Auto yet.
