Grand Theft Auto 4

Let's go through it in order.

Gameplay. A new part, a new engine, new features, this is how I would like to describe the gameplay in the 4th part of the series. The combat in the game has been reworked, the system of shelters and aimless shooting from it, visiting various places alone, or with your friends during the game whom you are introduced to or you get to know yourself.

Graphics. It has become beautiful, but not at all pleasing to the eye, in simple terms it’s soap, soap in the distance, near and in front of you, this is a minus for the game, but I give it a high rating because of the gameplay support.

Plot. This, it seems to me, is the best story of all in the series, because the story is about a real bandit in pursuit of profit. Playing as Niko, you can really feel that even though he did bad things, he strives to choose the right path. This is a story about a real, more believable person from all parts of GTA, you get imbued with him and feel all the experiences and emotions. 10/10.

Management. Now you can feel that the character really moves in all planes and not in just one, it has become pleasant to just walk around the city or take a ride in a car. Speaking of cars, the controls are clumsy, the car shakes, but even at low speeds sometimes it’s not possible to clearly turn into a turn. I’m giving it an inflated rating only because of the detail of the damage to the car.

Sound and music. It’s not worth talking for long about the sounds of shooting, damage and other things, because this is a more than decent level, I would like to mention the game’s radio stations, it’s nice to listen to almost every one of them, each has its own style and tempo, but our domestic, legendary station “Vladivostok” deserves special laurels FM" on which you can hear no less legendary performers, Tsoi, Glukoza, the Leningrad group, Zveri and, in fact, the leader of the station is still Seryoga. It’s nice to just drive around Liberty City and enjoy the music, but an equally important point is that you can install your music in a separate folder and listen to your songs along with other FM waves.

Multiplayer. I haven’t played it, but I can say that this is more than enough to appreciate, this is the first time this has happened in a GTA game, there’s nothing to compare it to, so I can say that even DM and TDM are more than cool, because you could hang out with your buddies and run the same way, but together, shoot against someone or at each other.

Localization. There is no official Russian localization and most likely there never will be. But I want to say about the main character Niko, you can really hear the accent in his voice, Little Jacob has an interesting, meditative, smoky voice, and Dmitry Raskolov’s message remains in my memory to this day.

Optimization. With this, I think that the game has a specific problem, because 60+ fps still feels a little unpleasant for me, although I can live with it. Either I'm just unlucky or this part of the review is becoming purely IMHO)

I wish everyone an enjoyable game, I hope my review will help you choose this particular game for the current playthrough! Good luck! :)
