PC gamers would have never faced such a period of frustration anytime before when they were made to wait for about an year to release this master piece for PC. GTA4 is undoubtedly the best game in the world. Except for its performance degradation which happens with every game when ripped for PC, this game still satisfies the over expectations of  every GTA addict.

LibertyCity-a city based onNew Yorkis as lively as you could ever imagine. The roads and tall buildings would represent a virtualNew Yorkenvironment. The industries, shopping centres of the city that never sleeps are depicted with quality visuals.

Niko Bellic is the new hero and yeah , he is a cool protagonist as other GTA heroes. The notable feature here is the story mode is not fixed. You have a choice of actions and its YOU who decide what to do here. The story is character-driven and it is the best a game like GTA 4 can offer.

Additionally Rockstar have come up with multiplayer options that allow a maximum of 32 players to go explore and rock the city simultaneously. The radio and tv shows are no more dumb and need not be edited. The developers have taken much pain to make them very lively and as funny as it could be. The characters, the dialogues are at their best. The radio stations are customizable and the user can play their own tracks.

The gameplay time ranges from 25 to 32 hours and it is not just a cake walk. Stealing a car is not easy anymore. You need to master the skills of a city convict to have a lifestyle Niko Bellic would desire.

On the other side there are some performance issues with the PC version and some visual errors. The keyboard and mouse controls are no match for the PS3 or Xbox controllers. The system requirements are way too high above the sky!.It requires atleast 256 MB latest video card and 20GB hard disk space to have a glimpse at this game. On the whole the game is as good as it is expected to be and these minor limitations are easily forgotten once the game starts!.
