For Niko Bellic, fresh off the boat from Europe, it is the hope he can escape his past. For his cousin, Roman, it is the vision that together they can find fortune in Liberty City, gateway to the land of opportunity. As they slip into debt and are dragged into a criminal underworld by a series of shysters, thieves and sociopaths, they discover that the reality is very different from the dream in a city that worships money and status, and is heaven for those who have them and a living nightmare for those who don't.

Still love it, but not as much as Vice City And San Andreas, 2008-11-13
Read loads of mixed opinions from reviewers on here since it was released in April, but decided to wait till all the hype went away before I said what I think.

Right, first of all love all the GTA games so going to be a bit biased. Some random new things that I like about this is the way you can hear the radio from your vehicle when you are not in it, the echo sound of your vehicle when you drive under a bridge, seeing other get arrested for attacking you, the sat nav, taking a cab, the new vigilante cop sytem, advertising the city through television (loved this but would be brilliant with loads of hilarious adverts like vice city radio).

Things I don't like are darts (way too easy and no challenge), ten pin bowling (again too easy and no challenge). I just prefer the things to do in San Andreas like gambling, sky diving, mountain bike racing etc etc. Dating I don't like and only did it in San Andreas for the extra uniforms. I don't like the so called realness of this either for example the vehicles. A lot of reviewers have moaned about the vehicles being more difficult to handle, but I don't find them difficult just much less fun than than the previous gtas.

Another thing I don't like is that there seems to be loads of missions where you take on loads of gangs and take them on by yourself (which makes me laugh when people say this is more realistic than previous gtas) but these missions can sometimes take ages, thats what I find personally annoying about them.

Sorry if my review sounds really negative but its only because I love the gta games so much. I do still really like this game and still give it five stars but not as much as vice city and san andreas which I still occasionaly play and still never fail to enjoy. This is the first gta game of this generation like 3 was of the last generation but without the wow factor of that game, so the next one should be something special.

What I would love for a future gta game is to be set in vice city and san andreas again but with modern graphics with all the good things from this and back to the fun feel of old (vehicle handling and sillyness etc.) mixed with seasonal weather. I would love a seasonal weather and a day/date/month sytem, halloween, bonfire night, christmas etc, drunken santas like in bully. Animals and children would be great because they add to the realism. If this is a problem then why not make it so they can't get hurt, unrealistic but so what, another essential for me would be to ride horses, blow up buildings and watch them magically appear five minutes later, again unrealistic but thats what I loved about gta in the first place. I could go on and on about the things I would like in a future gta, but I am supposed to commenting on gta 4 (sorry). So overall still love gta 4, but found it less enjoyable than previous gtas.

King Roland’s kingdom has some very unusual subjects

Some of the kingdom’s lands are more high tech than others

Frontier Land is filled with cowboys and cowgirls

Pig wrestling is more fun than it sounds

As you visit each of the different worlds you’re able to help out the people you meet with your special construction abilities. Using a magical sceptre you can build and modify buildings however you want, using the Wii remote to pick up parts and change them however you want. You can do the same with furniture and other objects--even your own character!

This comes in very handy for everything from rebuilding rocket ships to helping placate angry dragons. Once people get to know you, you can stop by to socialise as you make your own home in the land of your choice.

• Land of opportunity: Visit each of the very different realms and help out King Roland’s subjects in an exciting story of construction and co-operation.
• Join the crowd: Chat with all the game’s peculiar inhabitants, making friends or upsetting people on purpose.
• Edit everything: Design and build your own home with just a few gestures from the Wii remote and help fix up other buildings throughout the kingdom.
• Scavenger hunt: Constructing and changing buildings and furniture requires different essences that you find in each land by chopping down trees or digging up gardens.
• Looking good: The game’s graphics have been completely revamped with interactive loading screens and smooth animation.

Powered by the third generation of the EA Sports football engine, FIFA 09 features more than 250 core gameplay additions and enhancements that deliver the most responsive, intelligent and realistic action ever for the series. Enjoy turning defenders with more controlled dribbling and ball control, snapping off precision shots with improved first-time shooting mechanics and firing beautifully timed passes with greater accuracy, placing the ball exactly where you want it.

With new player momentum physics the speed and weight of the player determines everything from the distance of a slide tackle and the power of a header to the severity of player collisions and the height of a player's jump. Plus, players now behave according to their physical attributes with larger, stronger players dominating collisions, battles for control of the ball, and position in challenges for two player headers.

Super game for all FIFA lovers, 2008-10-20
I have FIFA 09 on PS2 and i think it's much better than any of the others. The graphics are better, and it's much more reallistic (especially the results of tackles). It's a shame the game is only spoiled by some bad commentary, but it's a must have. For any FIFA lover or if you are new to the game, go out and buy it. You don't need to spend hundreds of pounds on PS3's when you can thoroughly enjoy FIFA 09 on the good old PS2!
