Ratings:
-------------------------
Graphics: 7/10
+Environments look awesome, and at times can be breath taking.
+They finally turned those blocks connected to the arms into hands!
-Character models aren't very great.
-------------------------
Grapihcs Description:
Grand Theft Auto IV can be called many things, but graphically stunning is not one of them. The environments look awesome, with cool lighting, and shadows that actually look realistic! But the character models make it all go to hell. They aren't absolutely terrible, but compared to other games they lack a lot. Long story short, don't buy Grand Theft Auto IV for the graphics.

-------------------------
Gameplay: 9/10
+The controls are more intuitive, and realistic than previous games.
+New physics system is awesome!
+/-Sometimes people think it is 'too realistic.'
-Some features from San Andreas have been taken away such as character, and car customization.
-------------------------
Gameplay Description:
Gameplay has been changed a fair amount from previous GTA games, ever since GTA 3 gameplay has really stayed pretty much the same. A new physics system has been added for more realistic effects of ramming people into the pavement! A cover system has been added as well, although it's not quite as great as other cover systems like Gears of War, and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, it gets the job done when you need it. Although a lot has been upgraded, it feels like something is missing that was there in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, something special. You can't really go on as huge of killing sprees as you could previously.

Sound: 10/10
+An awesome soundtrack as always, music is great.
+A television has been added, with some great comedy in it.
-Feels like they missed on the Comedy Club.
-------------------------
Sound Description:
Grand Theft Auto has always been well known for it's sounds ever since GTA 3. The radio stations are as always hilarious, and there are so many of them. The soundtrack is also filled with a bunch of awesome songs. Lip-synching is done fairly well too. There's really nothing wrong with sounds on Grand Theft Auto IV.
-------------------------
--Overall: 8.6/10--
