return it and get Red Dead Redemption instead, if you are a GTA Fan or a "GOOD GAMES" fans , because GTA IV is crap and the episodes are just added crap.

And how GTA IV managed to get 98 on metacritic?

overrated, did you actually enjoy it? the episodes are considered a lot better than the game itself.

now what do you think is more true the scores others posted or your own experience?
