I think alot of people have really been missing the point to why GTA IV got a 10/10. It’s not because it’s got the greatest graphics or greatest storyline.
It’s the attention to detail that has been put into the game. Things that are really pushing the hardware to the limit.
You can find all sorts of things all over the city can leave you astounded at how they did. Even the tiniest things.
These include:
Steam rising from open sewers
Noticing how traffic changes at diiferent times of the day
watching people go about their daily routines.
Listening in on other peoples phone calls.
There is so much stuff that you can take advantage of with this game but most of it requires the time investment to actually want to experience these things.
The ign review goes into more detail about these things.
