Lots of people seem to hate the game and say it was a downgrade from San Andreas, but personally, I think it was far, far superior to San Andreas.

 

How?

 

It was the best game of the series. Shooting was actually not broken for once, less side mission bullcrap, meaning it's more streamlined, and has a purpose. Better story, better characters, better script, better gameplay, more realistic gameplay, better graphics.

That said, I hated GTA before IV came out. I think they removed all the stuff that sucked from the series, and made it a better, more linear game, that everyone could enjoy, not just those looking for a huge boring sandbox.

That's my opinion, reviewers and most gamers agree.
