What makes it so good then? I haven't played much with any entry to the series so I'm curious =)

And don't forget to vote!

A huge open world with a lot to do, attention to detail like no other game of this scale, simple but effective story that leads to: very enjoyable dialogs and cutscenes based on a satire of the lifestyle of the western countries, specially america, very likable characters and crazy as fuck npc's, , lots of funny moments (both during cutscens and gameplay), most of the main mission are fun to play and offer enough variety (weakest point in GTA IV imo), very competent driving and shooting mechanics for a driving game, also playing with 3 different characters makes the game much less repetitive than other sandbox games.

These are the main strong points imo.

And it's pretty strong strong points ^^ I'll have to try it out eventually!

I'd also like to hear from people who didn't find it as enjoyable - IF there are any!? Is this GOTY?

On the flipside I still feel like the map is too big for the things you can actually do. You'll be driving a lot from A to B and if that's a problem it might turn you off.

I also felt a bit dissapointed with the heists, I wish there were more of them (maybe optional ones) and with more freedom of choice on how you approach them.

Also the money becomes at the end worthless and buying properties is both pointless and meaningless (this was actually way better in Vice City)

And yeah, the story is not really worth mentioning. I mean the dialogs are superb but the plot is nothing special. Overall it's a awesome game but at its core it's "just" another great GTA.

If these things were better it'd be fucking 10 out 10 and GOTY for me. This way I still prefer The Last of Us because it made me feel like never before playing a video game.
