Anyone getting this? I didnt care for it so much when it was announced, but after seeing several vids I think RockStar has redeem themselves after the crap that was San Andreas.
For those who care about critics reviews:
To date, from the reviews that have been published, Grand Theft Auto IV has received critical acclaim. The May 2008 issue of Official Xbox Magazine (UK) published the first Grand Theft Auto IV review, giving the game the maximum score of 10/10. The magazine also stated that the game has an "amazingly realistic world; stunning action set pieces; genuinely engrossing storyline; hugely entertaining multiplayer;" and that it is "vast in every respect."
The June issue of Official PlayStation Magazine (Australia) gave Grand Theft Auto IV a perfect score of 10/10, explaining in their verdict: "The scope and scale of GTA IV is beyond anything gaming has ever had to offer". Throughout the review they refer to GTA IV as "a living and breathing world where anything is possible".
PlayStation Official Magazine (UK) also gave the game 10/10 in their May 2008 issue. Giving the game its highest award, the gold award, and describing the game as "A masterpiece that improves on all GTA's best bits."
The British newspaper Daily Star, also gave a positive review, praising: "This could be a console defining title, one that in years to come people will remember as the stand-out of the era.".
Xbox World 360 gave the game a 98% rating, mentioning: "everything we were entitled to expect, and yet somehow impossibly more."
IGN gave the game 10 out of 10 in every category, awarding it with an "editor's choice" award and praising it as "masterful", also calling it "Without question...the best game since Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time." The review also mentioned that IGN hadn't given a console video game a perfect 10 since Soul Calibur in 1999.

I dont listen to critics review, but it's been a while since Ive heard so many good things about a single game.
Even David Hayter said GTA is his favorite game series ever. This is coming from a guy who loves Metal Gear with a passion.
