Grand Theft Auto IV
Grand Theft Auto IV
Publié le 29 avril 2008, Grand Theft Auto IV est un jeu d'action-aventure mêlant tir et course, développé par Rockstar North et édité par Take-Two Interactive ainsi que Rockstar Games. Onzième titre de la série et premier opus principal depuis Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas en 2004, il est disponible sur PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 et PC et fonctionne avec le moteur RAGE. Le joueur incarne Niko Bellic, vétéran d'un conflit non nommé en Europe de l'Est hanté par la trahison de son unité, qui débarque à Liberty City pour poursuivre le rêve américain et retrouver le responsable, découvrant que les récits de richesse de son cousin Roman dissimulaient de lourdes dettes de jeu. Jouable à la troisième personne, le monde est explorable à pied ou en véhicule, et une mode multijoueur en ligne permettait initialement à 32 participants de s'affronter ou coopérer. Deux extensions, The Lost and Damned et The Ballad of Gay Tony, ont ensuite proposé de nouvelles intrigues liées au récit principal avec d'autres protagonistes. L'édition intégrale sortie en 2020 a remplacé les versions précédentes et entraîné la suppression du multijoueur, de Games for Windows Live et des classements, ainsi que l'indisponibilité temporaire de certaines radios. La presse a salué un monde crédible et un scénario remarquable, l'Official Xbox Magazine UK évoquant un titre « utterly stunning », tandis que certains joueurs sur Steam regrettent la persistance d'un bug lié à l'hélicoptère sur cette version. Le jeu affiche un score Metacritic de 90 et une note agrégée de 88,59.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« It's got a world you believe in, a cast you care about and a script stuffed with brilliant moments... Utterly stunning in every resepct. [May 2008, p.79] »
« I could go on and on about why Grand Theft Auto IV is one of the best games we've ever seen and why even folks who are easily offended should play it, but that would be pointless. The only thing you need to know is that you have to play this game. Period. »
« Expectations were so high for Grand Theft Auto IV that one of the biggest surprises is that it's managed to meet them. That it's also gone on to confound these is truly a marvel, and the game's Liberty City is nothing less than one of the greatest videogame worlds yet conceived. »
« None of these little flaws take away from Liberty City's breathtaking vistas, incredibly varied scenery, and lived-in look (the PS3 version has the slightest visual edge, plus motion-control support -- but then it's missing Achievements and the eventual downloadable episodes exclusive to the 360 game). The city just feels alive. »
« Almost everything you do in Liberty City would be good enough to drive its own game, and the best parts would be good enough to outrun the competition, but the reason it works so well is that Rockstar has made a game that requires no patience to play. This, as much as its usual coherency and the best script in the series, is what makes GTA IV the best openworld game yet, and why it will take something miraculous to rob it of game of the year status. »
« The very nature of the American Dream is the central theme in Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto IV, a gaming masterpiece that is a picture-perfect snapshot of the underworld of today's big cities. This is not only the finest title of the generation thus far, it is one of the best games of all-time. »
« It's amazing that a sequel that keeps the core gameplay concepts of its prior incarnations can do so much to change itself into something new. Cabs are awesome, as is the cellphones capabilities. But perhaps the biggest innovation is the notion that you can create a game that's as valid a piece of art as any book or movie. Is this our "Citizen Kane" moment? »
« I now know how film critics felt after screening "The Godfather." It's been days since Grand Theft Auto IV's credits rolled, yet I can't seem to construct a coherent thought without my mind wandering off into a daydream about the game. I just want to drop everything in my life so I can play it again. Experience it again. Live it again...Grand Theft Auto IV doesn't just raise the bar for the storied franchise; it completely changes the landscape of gaming. »

« Jagaço incrível física maneira, dahora demais muita diversão, muito Loko legal dahora foda »
« One of the best Grand Theft Auto games **** first HD game in the series bring a lot of new features and more realism compared to other titles in the series. »
« Genuinely The Best Game I Have Ever Played. The Story Is Chefs Kiss, Niko Is The Most Badass, Realistic Protagonist Ever, and the side characters are just as enjoyable. ROCKSTAR PLEASE REMASTER THIS MASTERPIECE. »
« The best GTA of all time. The problem Is that you cant replay de missions of the game and you have to replay de history to do that. »
« [SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.] »
« This game has SO MUCH to offer. I constantly replay this game due to how much I love it. In my opinion it is better than GTA V, but V comes very close. The story is much darker than V, with some real depressing moments, but Niko is an amazing character, same goes with Roman and most of the characters. Cars feel way different than most of the GTA's, with it feeling slightly more realistic. The game does drop frames at some points but I can handle that. The theme is also one of the best Rockstar had made, the city feels great. »
« First proper game I’ve ever played. This was soooooooo littyyy ‘x and yummy. Gotta get the characters »
« çok iyi bir hikayeye sahip oyunu oynarken sorunlarla karşılaştım ama oyun çok iyiydi »
